Abstract:
Prospects for the measurement of WZ electroweak (EW) production in association with two jets at the High-Luminosity LHC are presented. The W and Z bosons are detected via their decays, W\rightarrow eν,μν\nu,\mu\nu and Z\rightarrow ee, μμ\mu\mu. The results are obtained by a projection of existing results at 13 TeV to 14 TeV. The expected uncertainty in the EW WZ cross section measurement and significance of the observation of the polarized portion of the EW WZ cross section are presented.
