Observation of WZγ production and constraints on new physics scenarios in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
Original language description
A measurement of the WZ gamma triboson production cross section is presented. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 13 TeV recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb(-1). The analysis focuses on the final state with three charged leptons, l(+/-)nu l(+)l(-), where l = e or mu, accompanied by an additional photon. The observed (expected) significance of the WZ gamma signal is 5.4 (3.8) standard deviations. The cross section is measured in a fiducial region, where events with an l originating from a tau lepton decay are excluded, to be 5.48 +/- 1.11 fb, which is compatible with the prediction of 3.69 +/- 0.24 fb at next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics. Exclusion limits are set on anomalous quartic gauge couplings and on the production cross sections of massive axionlike particles.
