Resumo

This Letter presents the first study of W ± W ± jj , same-electric-charge diboson production in association with two jets, using 20.3  fb −1 of proton-proton collision data at s √ =8  TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two reconstructed same-charge leptons (e ± e ± , e ± μ ± , and μ ± μ ± ) and two or more jets are analyzed. Production cross sections are measured in two fiducial regions, with different sensitivities to the electroweak and strong production mechanisms. First evidence for W ± W ± jj production and electroweak-only W ± W ± jj production is observed with a significance of 4.5 and 3.6 standard deviations, respectively. The measured production cross sections are in agreement with standard model predictions. Limits at 95% confidence level are set on anomalous quartic gauge couplings
