Description

The scattering of electroweak bosons tests the gauge structure of the Standard
Model and is sensitive to anomalous quartic gauge couplings. In this talk, we
present recent results on vector-boson scattering from the ATLAS experiment
using proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV of center-of-mass energy at LHC. This
includes the observation of ZZ, WZ and same-sign-WW production via vector-boson
scattering along with a measurement of VV production in semileptonic final
states. The results can be used to constrain new physics that manifests as
anomalous electroweak-boson self interactions. Finally, Predicted cross
sections for electroweak scattering of two same-sign W bosons in association
with two jets are compared for a number of Monte Carlo configurations
