Limits on anomalous triple gauge couplings at √s=13 TeV in the CMS experiment — •Ivan Shvetsov, Matthias Mozer, and Thomas Müller — Institut für Experimentelle Kernphysik (IEKP), KIT

One of the main goals of the LHC Run II is the search for possible effects of new physics. A model-independent way to look for new physics is the so called effective field theory approach. In this approach, new physics is parametrized by the addition of higher dimensional operators to the Standard Model Lagrangian. Here we focus on a set of operators in the electroweak sector, which lead to anomalous triple gauge couplings. In this talk an analysis for setting limits on anomalous triple gauge couplings in WW/WZ final states in the semileptonic decay channel is presented. The event selection and reconstruction, as well as the procedure for setting limits are described.
