1. Introduction

Measurements of diboson production at the CERN LHC allow precision studies of the standard model (SM). These measure-ments are important for testing predictions that were recently made available at next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) in quan-tum chromodynamics (QCD) [1]. Comparing these predictions to data ata rangeof center-of-mass energies gives insightinto the structure of the electroweak gauge sector of the SM, and new proton–protoncollision dataat √s=13 TeV allow diboson mea-surements at the highest energies to date. Any deviations from expectedvaluescouldbeanindicationofphysicsbeyondtheSM.

PreviousmeasurementsoftheZZproductioncrosssectionfrom CMSwereperformedintheZZ→ +−+− andZZ→ +−νν

decaychannels,where=e, μand=e, μ, τ forbothZbosons producedon-shell,inthedileptonmass range60–120 GeV[2–4]. Thesemeasurements were madewithdata setscorresponding to integratedluminositiesof5.1 fb−1 at√s=7 TeV and19.6 fb−1 at √

s=8 TeV,andagreewithSM predictions.TheATLAS Collabora-tionproducedsimilarresultsat√s=7,8,and13 TeV[5–7],which alsoagreewiththeSM.

Extending the mass window for the dilepton candidates to lower values allows measurements of (Z/γ∗) (Z/γ∗) production, where “Z” may indicate an on-shell Z boson or an off-shell

Z∗ boson. The resulting sample includes Higgs boson events in the “golden channel” H→ZZ∗→ +−+−, where =e, μ, and rare Z boson decays to four leptons. The Z→ +−γ∗→

+−+− decaywas studied in detail at LEP [8] andwas ob-servedinppcollisionsbyCMS[9]andbyATLAS [10].Thoughthe branching fraction forthis decay is orders of magnitude smaller than that forthe Z→ +− decay,the precisely known mass of the Z boson makes the four-lepton mode useful for calibrating massmeasurementsofthenearbyHiggsresonance.

This letter reports a study of four-lepton production (pp→

3. Signalandbackgroundsimulation

Signaleventsare generatedwith powheg 2.0[14–16]at next-to-leading-order(NLO) inQCD forquark–antiquarkprocesses and leading-order (LO) for quark–gluon processes. This includes ZZ, Zγ∗,Z,and γ∗γ∗ productionwithaconstraintofm+−>4 GeV

appliedbetweenallpairsofoppositelychargedleptonsatthe gen-eratorleveltoavoidinfrareddivergences.The gg→ZZ processis simulatedatLOwith mcfm v7.0[17].Thesesamplesarescaledto correspondto cross sectionscalculated atNNLO for qq→ZZ [1] (scalingK factor 1.1)andatNLO forgg→ZZ[18](K factor1.7). The gg→ZZ process is calculated to Oα5

s 

, where αs is the strong coupling constant, while the other contributing processes arecalculated to Oα4

s 

; thishigher-order correction isincluded becausetheeffectisknowntobelarge[18].

AsampleofHiggsbosoneventsisproducedinthegluon–gluon fusion process with powheg 2.0 in the NLO QCD approximation. TheHiggsbosondecayismodeledwith jhugen 3.1.8[19–21].The qq→WZ processisgeneratedwith powheg 2.0.

The pythia v8.175 [22–24] package is used for parton show-ering, hadronization, and the underlying event simulation, with parameterssetbytheCUETP8M1tune[25].TheNNPDF3.0[26]set isused asthedefaultset ofpartondistribution functions(PDFs). For all simulated event samples, the PDFs are calculated to the sameorderinQCDastheprocessinthesample.

Thedetectorresponseissimulatedusingadetaileddescription oftheCMSdetectorimplemented withthe Geant4package [27]. The eventreconstruction is performedwiththe same algorithms used fordata. The simulated samples include additional interac-tions per bunch crossing, referred to as “pileup.” The simulated events are weighted so that the pileup distribution matches the data,withanaverageofabout11interactionsperbunchcrossing.

4. Eventreconstruction

All long-lived particles in each collision event — electrons, muons,photons,andchargedandneutralhadrons—areidentified andreconstructedwiththe CMSparticle-flow(PF) algorithm[28, 29]fromacombinationofthesignalsfromallsubdetectors. Recon-structedelectrons[12]andmuons[13]arecandidatesforinclusion infour-leptonfinalstatesiftheyhavepe_T>7 GeV and|ηe_{|<2.5 or} pμ_T >5 GeV and|ημ|<2.4.Thesearedesignated“signalleptons.”

Signal leptons are also required to originate from the event vertex,definedastheproton–protoninteractionvertexwhose as-sociatedchargedparticleshavethehighestsumofp2

T.Thedistance

ofclosestapproach betweeneach leptontrackandtheevent ver-tex isrequired tobe lessthan 0.5 cm inthe plane transverse to thebeamaxis,andlessthan1 cminthedirectionalongthebeam axis.Furthermore,thesignificanceofthethree-dimensionalimpact parameterrelativetotheeventvertex, SIP3D,isrequiredtosatisfy SIP3D≡ |IP/σIP|<4 for each lepton, where IP is the distance of closest approachofeach leptontracktothe eventvertexand σIP isitsassociateduncertainty.

Signal leptons are requiredto beisolated fromother particles intheevent.Therelativeisolationisdefinedas

Riso=   charged hadrons pT +max  0,  neutral hadrons pT+  photons pT− pPUT  p_T, (1)

where the sums run over the charged and neutralhadrons, and photons,inaconedefinedbyR≡



(η)2+ (φ)2<0.3 around the lepton trajectory, where φ is the azimuthal angle inradians. Tominimize the contributionof chargedparticles frompileupto theisolationcalculation,chargedhadronsareincludedonlyifthey originatefromtheeventvertex.Thecontributionofneutral parti-cles frompileup is pPU

T .For electrons, pPUT is evaluated with the “jetarea”methoddescribedinRef.[30];formuons,itistakento behalfthesumofthepTofallchargedparticlesinthecone orig-inatingfrom pileupvertices.The factor one-halfaccountsfor the expected ratio of charged to neutral particle energy in hadronic interactions.AleptonisconsideredisolatedifRiso<0.35.

Emission of final-state radiation (FSR) photons by the signal leptons may degrade the performance of the isolation require-mentsandZ bosonmassreconstruction. Thesephotonsare omit-ted from the isolation determination for signal leptons and are implicitlyincludedindileptonkinematiccalculations.Photonsare FSR candidates if pγ_T >2 GeV, |ηγ_{|<2.4, their relative} isola-tion (defined as in Eq. (1) with pPU

T =0) is less than 1.8, and

R(,γ) <0.5 withrespecttothenearestsignallepton.Toavoid double countingof bremmstrahlung photonsthat are already in-cludedinelectron reconstruction,photonsarenot FSRcandidates if there is anysignal electron within R(γ,e) <0.15 orwithin |φ (γ,e)|<2 and|η(γ,e)|<0.05.BecauseFSRphotonshavea higheraverageenergythanphotonsfrompileupandareexpected tobemostlycollinearwiththeemittinglepton,aphotoncandidate isacceptedasFSRifR(,γ) /pγ_T2<0.012 GeV−2.

In simulatedZZ→ +−+− events, the efficiencyto select generatedFSRphotonsisaround55%,androughly85%ofselected photonsare matched to FSRphotons. At leastone FSR photonis identifiedinapproximately2%, 5%,and8% ofsimulatedeventsin the 4e, 2e2μ,and4μ channels, respectively. Indata eventswith twoon-shellZ bosons,noFSRphotonsareselectedinthe4e decay channel,whileatleastoneFSRphotonisselectedinthreeandfive eventsinthe2e2μand4μdecaychannels,respectively.

Theleptonreconstruction, identification,andisolation efficien-ciesaremeasuredwithatag-and-probetechnique[31] appliedto a sample of Z→ +− data events. The measurements are per-formed in several bins of p_T and |η_{|. The electron}

reconstruc-tion and selection efficiency in the ECAL barrel (endcaps) varies from about 85% (77%) at pe_T≈10 GeV to about 95% (89%) for pe_T≥20 GeV, whileinthebarrel-endcaptransitionregionthis ef-ficiencyisabout85%averagedoverallelectronswithpe_T>7 GeV. Themuonsarereconstructedandidentifiedwithefficienciesabove ∼98% within|ημ|<2.4.

5. Eventselection

The primary triggers for thisanalysis require the presence of apair oflooselyisolatedleptons ofthe sameordifferentflavors. ThehighestpTleptonmusthave pT>17 GeV,andthesubleading leptonmusthavepe

T>12 GeV ifitisanelectronorp μ

T >8 GeV if itisamuon. Thedielectronanddimuontriggersrequirethatthe tracks corresponding to the leptons originate fromwithin 2 mm of each other in the plane transverse to the beam axis.Triggers requiringatriplet oflower-pT leptonswithno isolationcriterion, orasingle high-pTelectronwithoutan isolationrequirement,are also used.An event isused if it passesany trigger regardlessof the decay channel. The total trigger efficiency for events within theacceptanceofthisanalysisisgreaterthan98%.

AsignaleventmustcontainatleasttwoZ/γ∗ candidates,each formedfromanoppositelychargedpairofisolatedsignalelectrons or muons. Among the four leptons, the highest pT lepton must have pT>20 GeV, andthe second-highest pT lepton must have pe_T>12 GeV if itis an electron or pμ_T >10 GeV if it is amuon. AllleptonsarerequiredtobeseparatedbyR(1, 2) >0.02,and electronsarerequiredtobeseparatedfrommuonsbyR(e,μ) >

0.05.

Within each event, all permutations of leptons givinga valid pair of Z/γ∗ candidates are considered separately. Within each

+−+− candidate, the dilepton candidate with an invariant massclosest to 91.2 GeV,takenasthe nominalZ bosonmass,is denoted Z1 andis requiredto havea mass greater than40 GeV. TheotherdileptoncandidateisdenotedZ2.BothmZ1 andmZ2 are

Additional requirements are applied toselect eventsfor mea-surements ofspecific processes.The →ZZ cross section is mea-sured using events where both mZ1 and mZ2 are greater than

60 GeV.TheZ→ +−+−branchingfractionismeasuredusing eventswith80<m_+_−_+_−<100 GeV, arangechosen toretain mostof the decaysin the resonancewhile removing most other processeswithfour-leptonfinalstates.

candidatepassingallselectioncriteria,isestimatedfromsimulation andsubtracted.

To account for all sources of background events, two control samplesareusedtoestimatethenumberofbackgroundeventsin thesignalregions.Botharedefinedtocontaineventswitha dilep-ton candidate satisfyingall requirements(Z1) andtwo additional lepton candidates +−.In one control sample, enriched in WZ events, one  candidateis required to satisfy the full identifica-tion andisolation criteriaandtheother mustfailthe fullcriteria and instead satisfy only relaxed ones; in the other, enriched in Z+jets events,both candidatesmustsatisfytherelaxedcriteria, but fail the full criteria. The additional leptons must have oppo-site charge andthe same flavor (e±e∓, μ±μ∓). From this set of events, the expected numberof background events inthe signal region isobtainedby scalingthenumberofobserved Z1+ +−

events by the misidentification probability for each lepton fail-ingtheselection.Low-massdileptonsmaybesufficientlycollinear thattheirisolationconesoverlap,andtheirmisidentification prob-abilities are therefore correlated. To mitigate the effect of these correlations,onlythecontrolsampleinwhichbothadditional lep-tonsfailthefull selectionisusedifR+, −<0.6.The back-groundcontributionstothesignalregionsofZ→ +−+−and ZZ→ +−+−aresummarizedinSection8.

7. Systematicuncertainties

Systematic uncertainties are summarized in Table 1. In both data and simulated event samples,trigger efficiencies are evalu-atedwithatag-and-probe technique.The ratiobetweendataand simulation isappliedto simulatedevents,andthesize ofthe re-sultingchangeinexpectedyieldistakenastheuncertaintyforthe determination ofthetriggerefficiency.Thisuncertaintyis around 2%ofthefinalestimatedyield.ForZ→e+e−e+e−events,the un-certaintyincreasesto4%.

Theleptonidentificationandisolationefficienciesinsimulation are corrected with scaling factors derived with a tag-and-probe

methodandappliedasafunctionofleptonpTand η.Toestimate theuncertaintiesassociatedwiththetag-and-probetechnique,the total yield is recomputed withthe scaling factors varied up and downbythetag-and-probe fituncertainties.Theuncertainties as-sociatedwiththeidentificationefficiencyintheZZ→ +−+−

(Z→ +−+−)signal regions arefound tobe0.9% (6%)inthe 4e final state, 0.7% (4%) in the 2e2μ final state, and 0.4% (2%) inthe 4μ final state. The corresponding uncertainties associated withtheisolationefficiencyare1.1%(6%)inthe4e finalstate,0.7% (3%)in the 2e2μfinal state,and0.3% (1%) inthe 4μ final state. TheseuncertaintiesarehigherforZ→ +−+−eventsbecause theleptonsgenerallyhavelower pT,andthesamplesusedinthe tag-and-probemethodhavefewereventsandmorecontamination fromnonpromptleptonsinthislow-pTregion.

Uncertaintiesduetotheeffectoffactorization(μF) and renor-malization(μR)scalechoiceonthe Z Z→ +−+−acceptance are evaluated with powheg and mcfm by varying the scales up anddown by a factor of two with respect to the defaultvalues

μF =μR=mZZ. These variations are much smaller than 1% and areneglected.Parametricuncertainties(PDF+αs)areevaluated us-ing the CT10 [32] and NNPDF3.0 sets and are found to be less than1%.Thelargestdifference betweenpredictionsfrom powheg and mcfm with differentscales andPDF sets,1.5%, is considered tobe thetheoreticaluncertaintyintheacceptancecalculation.An additionaltheoretical uncertaintyarisesfromscaling the powheg qq→ZZ simulatedsamplefromitsNLOcrosssectiontotheNNLO prediction, andthe mcfm gg→ZZ samples from their LO cross sections to the NLO predictions. The change in the acceptance corresponding to this scaling procedure is found to be 1.1%. All theoreticaluncertaintiesareaddedinquadrature.

Thelargestuncertaintyintheestimatedbackgroundyieldarises fromdifferencesinsample compositionbetweentheZ+ control sample used to calculate the lepton misidentification probability andtheZ+ +−controlsample.Afurtheruncertaintyarisesfrom the limitednumber of events in the Z+  sample. A systematic uncertaintyof40%oftheestimatedbackgroundyieldisappliedto coverbotheffects. Thesize ofthisuncertaintyvariesby channel, butislessthan1%ofthetotalexpectedyield.

Theuncertaintyintheintegratedluminosityofthedatasample is2.7%[33].

8. Crosssectionmeasurements

The distributions of the four-lepton mass and the masses of the Z1 and Z2 candidates are shown in Fig. 1. The SM predic-tions include nonresonant ZZ predictions normalized using the NNLOcrosssection,productionoftheSM Higgsbosonwithmass 125 GeV[34],andresonantZ→ +−+−production.The back-groundestimatedfromdatais alsoshown. The reconstructed in-variant mass of the Z1 candidates, and a scatter plot showing the correlation betweenmZ2 andmZ1 in data events,are shown
