Search for new physics in triple boson production at 13 TeV using the effective field theory approach
Abstract: A search for new physics in the production of three massive gauge bosons (VVV, where V is W or Z) is presented. The event selection emphasizes the ``boosted'' regime in which all three bosons have a transverse momentum above 200 GeV. Standard model processes contribute few events in the boosted regime. When a boosted W or Z boson decays hadronically, the decay products tend to form a large-radius jet with substructure called a V-tagged jet. Special techniques to reconstruct and select V-tagged jets are applied. Events are categorized according to the number and kinematic features of charged leptons and V-tagged jets. Event yields are obtained in bins of a suitable kinematic variable such as the scalar sum of the transverse momenta of the reconstructed objects in the event. No excess over standard model expectations is observed, and bounds are placed on Wilson coefficients for a set of mass dimension-6 and -8 operators in the framework of standard model effective field theory. The two most stringent bounds placed by this analysis are $ -$0.13 $ < c_{\text{W}}/\Lambda^2 < $ 0.12 TeV$ ^{-2} $ and $ -$0.24 $ < c_{\text{Hq3}}/\Lambda^2 < $ 0.21 TeV$ ^{-2} $.

Figure 1:
Comparison of the $ m_{\text{SD}} $ distribution in data and simulation for events in a control region dominated by $ \mathrm{t} \overline{\mathrm{t}} $ production. $ \mathrm{W}\rightarrow\mathrm{q}\overline{\mathrm{q}} $ represents V-tagged jets that match the hadronic decay of a W boson; a prominent peak at the W mass is seen. The contribution marked Initial State Radiation corresponds to V-tagged jets matched to gluons emitted in the initial state. Jets containing single-b quarks will sometimes be selected as V-tagged jets. Both ISR and b jets peak at small $ m_{\text{SD}} $ but not near the W mass. A small contamination from non- $ \mathrm{t} \overline{\mathrm{t}} $ events is marked as Other in the plot. The data are represented by black dots with error bars. The shaded band in the data/MC ratio plot shows the MC statistical uncertainty. The shape and normalization of the data distribution are well reproduced by the simulation. This plot shows the MC prediction before fitting, i.e., these are pre-fit distributions.

Summary
A search for new physics in the production of three massive gauge bosons ($ \mathrm{p}\mathrm{p} \rightarrow \mathrm{V}\mathrm{V}\mathrm{V} $, with $ \mathrm{V} = \mathrm{W} $ or $ \mathrm{Z} $) has been reported. The analysis targets the boosted regime in which the bosons have $ p_{\mathrm{T}} > $ 200 GeV. When they decay hadronically, large-radius jets with substructure are formed; we identify such V-tagged jets using the ParticleNet algorithm. Signal V-tagged jets have a soft-drop mass consistent with the W or Z boson mass. Several analysis channels are defined according to the multiplicities of leptons (0--3) and V-tagged jets in an event; two channels feature hadronically-decaying $ \tau $ leptons. Signal regions are defined by a suitable kinematic variable that correlates well with the triboson invariant mass. The observed signal yields are interpreted in a SMEFT framework with twelve dimension-6 and twenty dimension-8 Wilson operators. Agreement with SM predictions is good, and bounds are placed on Wilson coefficients at 95% CL. The measured signal strength for SM $ \mathrm{V}\mathrm{V}\mathrm{V} $ production is consistent with unity.
