The tree-level partonic angular distribution of Standard Model $Wgamma$ production possesses a feature known as the Radiation Amplitude Zero (RAZ) where destructive interference causes the cross section to vanish. At the proton level the exact cancellation disappears, however, one can find a dip in the central region of the angular distributions, here called the Radiation Valley (RV). In this paper, we show how the sensitivity for $W(ell u)gamma$ resonances can be significantly improved if one focuses on events in the RV region. Using this technique, we find that the LHC could probe a larger range of resonance masses, equivalent to increasing the luminosity by a factor of $2-3$ over conventional searches. The exact increase depends on the spin of the $Wgamma$ resonance and exactly how it couples to electroweak gauge bosons.

We consider the production of Wgamma and Zgamma pairs at the LHC, and report on the fully differential computation of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections in QCD perturbation theory. The calculation includes leptonic vector-boson decays w
ith the corresponding spin correlations, off-shell effects and final-state photon radiation. We present numerical results for pp collisions at 7 TeV, and compare them with available ATLAS data. In the case of Zgamma production, the impact of NNLO corrections is generally moderate, ranging from 8% to 17%, depending on the applied cuts. In the case of Wgamma production, the NNLO effects are more important, and range from 19% to 26%, thereby improving the agreement of the theoretical predictions with the data. As expected, a veto against jets significantly reduces the impact of QCD radiative corrections.
We consider the production at the LHC of exotic composite quarks of charge $Q=+(5/3) e$ and $Q=-(4/3) e$. Such states are predicted in composite models of higher isospin multiplets ($I_W=1$ or $I_W=3/2$). Given their exotic charges (such as $5/3$), t
heir decays proceed through the electroweak interactions. We compute decay widths and rates for resonant production of the exotic quarks at the LHC. Partly motivated by the recent observation of an excess by the CMS collaboration in the $e ot p_T jj$ final state signature we focus on $ pp to U^+ j to W^+ + j, j, to ell^+ ot p_T jj$ and then perform a fast simulation of the detector reconstruction based on DELPHES. We then scan the parameter space of the model ($m_*=Lambda$) and study the statistical significance of the signal against the relevant standard model background ($Wjj$ followed by leptonic decay of the $W$ gauge boson) providing the luminosity curves as function of $m_*$ for discovery at 3- and 5-$sigma$ level.
The vector boson scattering at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is sensitive to anomalous quartic gauge couplings (aQGCs). In this paper, we investigate the aQGC contribution to $ W gamma jj$ production at the LHC with $sqrt{s}=13$ TeV in the context
of an effective field theory (EFT). The unitarity bound is applied as a cut on the energy scale of this production process, which is found to have significant suppressive effects on the signals. To enhance the statistical significance, we analyse the kinematic and polarization features of the aQGC signals in detail. We find that the polarization effects induced by the aQGCs are unique and can discriminate the signals from the SM backgrounds well. With the proposed event selection strategy, we obtain the constraints on the coefficients of dimension-8 operators with current luminosity. The results indicate that the process $pp to W gamma jj$ is powerful for searching for the $O_{M_{2,3,4,5}}$ and $O_{T_{5,6,7}}$ operators.
Heavy long-lived multi-charged leptons (MCLs) are predicted by various new physics models. These hypothetical MCLs can form bound states, due to their high electric charges and long life times. In this work, we propose a novel strategy of searching f
or MCLs through their bound state productions and decays. By utilizing LHC-8 TeV data in searching for resonances in the diphoton channel, we exclude the masses of isospin singlet heavy leptons with electric charge $|q|geq 6$ (in units of electron charge) lower than $sim$1.2 TeV, which are much stronger than the corresponding 8 TeV LHC bounds from analysing the high ionisation and the long time-of-flight of MCLs. By utilising the current 13 TeV LHC diphoton channel measurements the bound can further exclude MCL masses up to $sim$1.6 TeV for $|q|geq 6$. Also, we demonstrate that the conventional LHC limits from searching for MCLs produced via Drell-Yan processes can be enhanced by including the contribution of photon fusion processes.
We present results from CDF and DO on $Wgamma$ and $Zgamma$ productions in $pbar{p}$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=1.8~{rm TeV}.$ The goal of the analyses is to test the non-abelian self-couplings of the $W$, $Z$ and photon, one of the most direct consequen
ces of the $SU(2)_Lotimes U(1)_Y$ gauge symmetry. We present direct measurements of $WWgamma$ couplings and limits on $ZZgamma$ and $Zgammagamma$ couplings, based on $pbar{p}rightarrow ell ugamma + X$ and $pbar{p}rightarrow ellellgamma+X$ events, respectively, observed during the 1992--1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.
