We clarify the role of vector boson fusion (VBF) in the production of heavy vector triplets at the LHC and the HL-LHC. We point out that the presence of VBF production leads to an unavoidable rate of Drell-Yan (DY) production and highlight…

While gluon fusion dominates Higgs pair production at the LHC, vector boson fusion (VBF) offers a unique window into Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics through its distinctive kinematic features and direct sensitivity to Higgs-vector…
We study the production of the four-lepton final state $l^+ l^- l^+ l^-$, predominantly produced by a pair of electroweak Z bosons, ZZ. Using the LoopSim method, we merge NLO QCD results for ZZ and ZZ+jet and obtain approximate NNLO…
