Abstract

We present new results for the theoretical prediction of doubly-polarized cross sections of WZWZ events at the LHC using leptonic decays. Compared to the previous studies, two new kinematic cuts are considered. These cuts are designed to enhance the doubly-longitudinal (LL) polarization and, at the same time, study the Radiation Amplitude Zero effect. We found a new cut on the rapidity separation between the ZZ boson and the electron from the WW decay which makes the LL fraction largest, namely ΔyZ,e<0.5|\Delta y_{Z,e}| < 0.5. This result is obtained at the next-to-leading order in the strong and electroweak couplings.
