Anomalous quartic ZZγγ couplings in γp collision at the LHC
Abstract
We investigate the constraints on the anomalous quartic ZZγγ couplings through the process pp→pγp→pγqZX at the LHC. Taking into consideration various forward detector acceptances and integrated LHC luminosities, we find 95% confidence level bounds on the anomalous coupling parameters. We show that the bounds on these couplings are at the order of 10-6GeV-2 which are about four orders of magnitude more restricted with respect to current experimental bounds.
