Distribution of the W boson transverse mass in the WZ 3l signal region. Events from conversions, and DY processes are grouped into the 'Others' category. The vertical error bars represent the statistical uncertainty in the data and the shaded band the uncertainty in the prediction. The signal contributions are scaled to the measured cross sections (postfit).

Results obtained in this analysis and other diboson production cross section measurements at different center-of-mass energies for the CMS, ATLAS, CDF, and D0 Collaborations are presented, and compared with the NNLO QCD x NLO EW and NLO predictions from MATRIX. The vertical error bars represent the uncertainty in the measured cross section.

The expected upper limits on the production cross-section times the product of branching ratios for the benchmark signal scenario involving a scalar particle $X$ with narrow width decaying via $X\rightarrow aa\rightarrow 4\gamma$, $\sigma_X\times B(X\rightarrow aa)\times B(a\rightarrow\gamma\gamma)^2$. The limits for $m_{a}$ = 5 GeV and 10 GeV do not cover as large a range as the other mass points, since the region of interest is limited to $ m_{a} < 0.01 \times m_{X}$. Additionally, the expected limits are not provided for a small number of points, indicated with a hyphen, because of a technical failure with the computation.

The observed upper limits on the production cross-section times the product of branching ratios for the benchmark signal scenario involving a scalar particle $X$ with narrow width decaying via $X\rightarrow aa\rightarrow 6\pi^0$, $\sigma_X\times B(X\rightarrow aa)\times B(a\rightarrow 3\pi^0)^2$. The limits for $m_{a}$ = 5 GeV and 10 GeV do not cover as large a range as the other mass points, since the region of interest is limited to $ m_{a} < 0.01 \times m_{X}$.
