Measurement of ZZ production in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ TeV and limits on anomalous ZZZ and ZZγ couplings with the ATLAS detector
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A bstract A measurement of the ZZ production cross section in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ TeV using data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is presented. In a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb −1 collected in 2011, events are selected that are consistent either with two Z bosons decaying to electrons or muons or with one Z boson decaying to electrons or muons and a second Z boson decaying to neutrinos. The ZZ (*) → ℓ + ℓ − ℓ ′+ ℓ ′− and $ ZZ\to {\ell^{+}}{\ell^{-}}\nu \overline{\nu} $ cross sections are measured in restricted phase-space regions. These results are then used to derive the total cross section for ZZ events produced with both Z bosons in the mass range 66 to 116 GeV, $ \sigma_{ZZ}^{\mathrm{tot}} = 6.7 \pm 0.7\;\,\left( {\mathrm{stat}.} \right)\;\;_{-0.3}^{+0.4}\;\,\left( {\mathrm{syst}.} \right) \pm 0.3\;\,\left( {\mathrm{lumi}.} \right) $ pb, which is consistent with the Standard Model prediction of $ 5.89_{-0.18}^{+0.22 } $ pb calculated at next-to-leading order in QCD. The normalized differential cross sections in bins of various kinematic variables are presented. Finally, the differential event yield as a function of the transverse momentum of the leading Z boson is used to set limits on anomalous neutral triple gauge boson couplings in ZZ production.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
