Diboson Production
SU(2)LxU(1)Y Electroweak sector non-Abelian theory including boson couplings WW, WWZ (Trilinear gauge boson vertices)
Events with two bosons are sensitive to trilinear gauge boson vertices.
The standard model (SM) has very specific (and small) predictions for the cross section of Di-boson events.
Extensions to the SM often enhance these cross sections. Especially for high boson pt.
Places limits on Anomalous Trilinear Couplings
These final states are backgrounds for other important physics (H->WW, tt->dilepton,etc)

D0 looks for W/Z to 3 leptons(e and ). Expects 0.39 0.02 background events Expects 1.02 0.07 signal events (assuming 3.7 pb) Find 1 candidate event. Set upper limit on cross section of 15.1 pb

WZ and ZZ Production
CDF looks for a WZ and ZZ candidates by requiring a Z(ee or ) and Met Significance (sensitive to Z-> and WZ) Or third lepton & MET Or four leptons.
Expect 2.72+-0.33 of signal And 2.29+-0.42 of background Find 4 candidates (all 2 track) Set a limit (ZZ+ZW)<13.9 pb Theory is (ZZ+ZW)=5.2+-0.4 pb

Conclusions
Both Tevatron experiments are doing well.
Collection of preliminary cross sections:
Expect limits on anomalous couplings
Analysis using hadron final states underway.
Expect final results and publications soon.
