The measured $\mathrm{W}\gamma\gamma$ and $\mathrm{Z}\gamma\gamma$ fiducial cross sections and corresponding theoretical predictions from MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. The measured yields in the electron and muon channels are extrapolated to a common fiducial phase space determined from simulated signal events at the generated particle level. Generated particles are considered stable if their mean decay length is larger than $1\,\mathrm{cm}$. Generated leptons are required to have a $\mathrm{p}_\mathrm{t}>15\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and $|\eta|<2.5$. The momenta of photons in a cone of $\Delta R=0.1$, the same cone size as the one applied to reconstructed data, are added to the charged lepton momentum to correct for final-state radiation. Generated photons are required to have $\mathrm{p}_\mathrm{t}>15\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and $|\eta|<2.5$. Additionally, the candidate photons are required to have no selected leptons or photons in a cone of radius $\Delta R=0.4$ and no other stable particles, apart from photons and neutrinos, in a cone of radius $\Delta R=0.1$. Events are then selected in the $\mathrm{W}\gamma\gamma$ channel by requiring exactly one electron (muon) with $\mathrm{p}_\mathrm{t}>30\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and at least two photons with $\mathrm{p}_\mathrm{t}>20\,\mathrm{GeV}$. Events are selected in the $\mathrm{Z}\gamma\gamma$ channel by requiring two electrons (muons), at least one of them with $\mathrm{p}_\mathrm{t}>30\,\mathrm{GeV}$, and not less than two photons, each of them with $\mathrm{p}_\mathrm{t}>20\,\mathrm{GeV}$. Additionally, the invariant mass of the dilepton system is required to be $m_{\ell\ell}>55\,\mathrm{GeV}$.

The expected and observed 95% CL upper limits on the production cross section for SIMPs with masses between 1 and 1000 GeV, with the assumption that the SIMP interaction in the detector can be approximated as neutron-like. The theoretical prediction of a simplified model incorporating this approximation and including a scalar mediator with couplings g_chi = -1 and g_q = 1 is also shown (red line). For masses above 100 GeV, where the modelling of the SIMP-nucleon interaction becomes more speculative, the obtained cross section upper limits are increasingly uncertain (shaded area).
