Abstract

Prospects for searches of anomalous quartic gauge couplings at a future high-energy muon collider using the production of $\mathrm{WW}$ boson pairs are reported. Muon-muon collision events are simulated at $\sqrt{s}=6$ TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $4$ ab${}^{-1}$. The simulated events are used to study the $\mathrm{W}\mathrm{W}\nu \nu$ and $\mathrm{W}\mathrm{W}\mu \mu$ final states with the $\mathrm{W}$ bosons decaying hadronically. The events are analyzed to report expected constraints on the structure of quartic vector boson interactions in the framework of dimension-8 effective field theory operators.
