Vector boson scattering is a key production process to probe the electroweak symmetry breaking of the Standard Model and is one of the most important topics of the physics program for the HL-LHC since it involves both self-couplings of vector bosons and their coupling with the Higgs boson. If the Higgs mechanism is not the sole source of electroweak symmetry breaking, the scattering amplitude deviates from the Standard Model prediction at high scattering energy. Moreover, deviations may be detectable even if a New Physics scale is higher than the reach of direct searches. In this review, the most recent experimental measurements of the production cross sections of vector boson pairs in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV at the LHC are reported, using data sets recorded by the ATLAS and CMS detectors. Applications to searches for New Physics, as well as prospects for measuring the electroweak vector boson scattering processes with larger data samples, are also summarized.

LHC 中的玻色子-玻色子相互作用


矢量玻色子散射是探测标准模型电弱对称性破坏的关键生产过程，也是 HL-LHC 物理程序中最重要的主题之一，因为它涉及矢量玻色子的自耦合及其与希格斯玻色子的耦合。如果希格斯机制不是电弱对称性破坏的唯一来源，那么在高散射能量下，散射幅度会偏离标准模型的预测。此外，即使 New Physics 量表高于直接搜索的范围，也可以检测到偏差。在这篇综述中，使用 ATLAS 和 CMS 探测器记录的数据集，报告了 LHC 中 TeV 中与两个射流相关的矢量玻色子对产生截面的最新实验测量。还总结了搜索 New Physics 的应用，以及使用更大数据样本测量电弱矢量玻色子散射过程的前景。
