Purpose

The conference brings theorist and experimentalists together to discuss the the multi-boson interactions within the contexts of the gauge sector of the standard model and new physics.

Topics of discussion include:

  • Diboson and triboson production
  • Vector boson scattering and vector boson fusion
  • Precision calculation and measurement of multiboson production
  • New Physics in multi boson production: Models, 750 GeV gamma gamma excess, simplified models, anomalous couplings, effective field theory.
  • Monte Carlo Generators
  • First 13 TeV LHC Run 2 results and beyond
