Abstract
Trilinear Z boson interactions are sensitive probes both of new sources of C P violation in physics beyond the standard model and of new particle thresholds. Measurements of trilinear Z interactions are typically interpreted in the frameworks of anomalous couplings and effective field theory, both of which require care in interpretation. To obtain a quantitative picture of the power of these measurements when interpreted in a TeV-scale context, we investigate the anatomy of Z Z Z interactions and consider two minimal and perturbative simplified models which induce such interactions through new scalar and fermion loops at the weak scale, focusing on Z Z and vector boson fusion-induced Z j j production at the LHC and Z Z production at a future e + e − collider. We show that both threshold and non-threshold effects often are small compared to the sensitivity of the LHC, while the increased sensitivity of a future lepton collider should allow us to constrain such scenarios through associated electroweak precision effects complementary to direct searches at hadron colliders.
