Abstract
Measurements of four-lepton (4ℓ, ℓ = e,μ) production cross sections at the Z resonance in pp collisions at the LHC with the ATLAS detector are presented. For dilepton and four-lepton invariant mass regions m[subscript ℓ+ℓ−] > 5  GeV and 80 < m[subscript 4ℓ] < 100  GeV, the measured cross sections are 76 ± 18(stat) ± 4(syst) ± 1.4(lumi)  fb and 107 ± 9(stat) ± 4(syst) ± 3.0(lumi)  fb at √s = 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. By subtracting the nonresonant 4ℓ production contributions and normalizing with Z → μ[superscript +]μ[superscript −] events, the branching fraction for the Z boson decay to 4ℓ is determined to be (3.20 ± 0.25(stat) ± 0.13(syst)) × 10[superscript −6], consistent with the standard model prediction.
