  • Descrição: The production of Z bosons with one or two isolated high-energy photons is studied using pp collisions at s?=8TeV. The analyses use a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 20.3fb super(?1) collected by the ATLAS detector during the 2012 LHC data taking. The Z[gamma] and Z[gamma][gamma] production cross sections are measured with leptonic (e super(+)e super(-), [mu] super(+)[mu] super(-), [nu][nu]) decays of the Z boson, in extended fiducial regions defined in terms of the lepton and photon acceptance. They are then compared to cross-section predictions from the Standard Model, where the sources of the photons are radiation off initial-state quarks and radiative Z-boson decay to charged leptons, and from fragmentation of final-state quarks and gluons into photons. The yields of events with photon transverse energy E sub(T)>250GeV from [scriptl] super(+)[scriptl] super(-)[gamma] events and with E sub(T)>400GeV from [nu][nu][gamma] events are used to search for anomalous triple gauge-boson couplings ZZ[gamma] and Z[gamma][gamma]. The yields of events with diphoton invariant mass m[gamma][gamma]>200 GeV from [scriptl] super(+)[scriptl] super(-)[gamma][gamma] events and with m[gamma][gamma]>300 GeV from [nu][nu][gamma][gamma] events are used to search for anomalous quartic gauge-boson couplings ZZ[gamma][gamma] and Z[gamma][gamma][gamma]. No deviations from Standard Model predictions are observed and limits are placed on parameters used to describe anomalous triple and quartic gauge-boson couplings.
