How to Get "Plugged In" in CMS
My research interests include measurement of anomolous trilinear gauge couplings (the non-Abelian structure of the electroweak vector gauge bosons).
These could be measured in diboson events where one W boson decays leptonically (easier to sift out), and the other decays to two jets (higher cross section).
It will be important to beat down QCD jets faking the hadron W boson decay (so that's exciting to learn about, for me).
If there is an energy frontier resonance which is responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking, this analysis will be very sensitive to it (ahem: Higgs).
