Abstract

Measurements are presented of W gamma gamma and Z gamma gamma productionin proton-proton collisions. Fiducial cross sections are reported basedon a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.4fb(-1) collected with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 8TeV. Signal is identified through the W -> lv and Z -> ll decay modes,where l is a muon or an electron. The production of W gamma gamma and Zgamma gamma, measured with significances of 2.6 and 5.9 standarddeviations, respectively, is consistent with standard model predictions.In addition, limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings in W gammagamma production are determined in the context of a dimension-8effective field theory.
