Abstract

Production of electroweak gauge boson pairs at the LHC can be used to examine the gauge structure of the Standard Model, with experimental measurements sensitive to theoretical predictions beyond leading order calculations. Inclusive production of gauge boson pairs is used to study triple gauge boson self-couplings and to search for  new physics phenomena. Production of boson pairs via Vector Boson Scattering processes involves quartic gauge couplings and is sensitive to precise cancellations among various perturbative contributions, including those from the Higgs boson. This presentation will discuss
most recent studies of electroweak boson pairs by the ATLAS collaboration, including observation of the electroweak production of same sign W boson pairs.
