ATLAS Collaboration Witnesses Electroweak Production of Jets and Z-Boson Pair.

The ATLAS collaboration at CERN has observed the electroweak production of two Z bosons and two jets, a rare process that could contribute to the understanding of standard model (SM) particle physics. This observation confirms the consistency of the experimental results with the mechanism predicted by the SM and marks the start of a new era in precision studies of such rare processes in the electroweak sector. The observation could motivate further investigations of a mechanism called electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) that can result from vector-boson scattering (VBS).
