Description

The scattering of electroweak bosons tests the gauge structure of the Standard Model and is
sensitive to anomalous quartic gauge couplings. In this talk, we present recent results on vector-
boson scattering from the ATLAS experiment using proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV. This
includes the observation of WZ and same-sign-WW production via vector-boson scattering along
with a measurement of VV production in semileptonic final states. If available, a measurement of
Zγ production via vector-boson scattering will also be presented. The results can be used to
constrain new physics that manifests as anomalous electroweak-boson self interactions.
