- Summary:
- In this thesis we study one of the last corners of the Standard Model to be thoroughly investigated in a hadron collider, the production of two simultaneous Z bosons. We analyze 6.1 fb-1 of data produced at Fermilab at a center-of-mass energy s = 1.96 TeV and recorded by the CDF experiment. The predicted cross-section is 1.4 pb and we measured 2.18+0.64-0.63 pb (stat)+/-0.30 (syst) using 14 observed events. This ZZ result has been measured with the largest set of candidate events in this channel yet found and provides the smallest percentage uncertainty to date.
