Search for $ZZ/ZW\to l^{+}l^{-}+q\bar{q}(')$ at the Tevatron
ORAL
Abstract
We present a search for diboson production at CDF with the final state of two leptons and two hadronic jets. This selection is sensitive to both $ZZ\to l^{+}l^{-} + q\bar{q}$ and $ZW\to l^{+}l^{-} + q\bar{q}'$. The main background is $Z$ bosons produced in association with extra jets. The signal can be discriminated from the background by its dijet mass resonance. While the sensitivity for this final state is small, it is an important step in searching for Higgs boson production in association with a $Z$ boson, which has a similar topology but a much smaller cross-section.
