Exploring the scattering of vector bosons at LHCb

Understand

In this letter, I propose a strategy to measure vector-boson scattering (VBS) at the LHCb experiment.

• The typical VBS topology at hadron colliders features two energetic back-to-back jets with large rapidities and two gauge bosons produced centrally.
• In this article, I show that such a topology can actually be probed by the LHCb detector.
• In particular, tagging only one of the two jets in combination with two same-sign leptons allows for a measurement with upcoming luminosities.
