| Abstract: A search for anomalous $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow$ WW and $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow$ ZZ production, with intact forward protons reconstructed in Roman Pots, and both gauge bosons decaying to boosted and merged jets, is performed. The analysis is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment with $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 100 fb$^{-1}$. No excess above the Standard Model background prediction is seen, and upper limits are set on cross sections in a fiducial region defined by diboson invariant mass $m > $ 1 TeV and proton fractional momentum loss 0.04 $ < \xi < $ 0.20. The results are interpreted as new limits on dimension-6 and dimension-8 Anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings. | ||
