abstract
This Letter reports evidence of triple gauge boson production $pp\to W(\ell\nu)\gamma\gamma + X$, which is accessible for the first time with the 8 TeV LHC data set. The fiducial cross section for this process is measured in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the ATLAS detector in 2012. Events are selected using the $W$ boson decay to $e\nu$ or $\mu\nu$ as well as requiring two isolated photons. The measured cross section is used to set limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings in the high diphoton mass region.

Probing anomalous quartic gauge couplings in same-sign $W$ boson scattering with polarization and spin correlation
Spin-correlation asymmetries in same-sign WW production yield sensitivity to anomalous WWWW couplings comparable to transverse-mass distributions, and their combination improves Wilson-coefficient limits while respecting unitarity cuts.
