abstract = {Electroweak symmetry breaking explains the origin of the masses of
elementary particles through their interactions with the Higgs field.
Besides the measurements of the Higgs boson properties, the study of
the scattering of massive vector bosons with spin 1 allows the nature of
electroweak symmetry breaking to be probed. Among all processes related
to vector-boson scattering, the electroweak production of two jets and a
Z-boson pair is a rare and important one. Here we report the observation
of this process from proton–proton collision data corresponding to an
integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of
13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. We consider
two different final states originating from the decays of the Z-boson pair:
one containing four charged leptons and another containing two charged
leptons and two neutrinos. The hypothesis of no electroweak production
is rejected with a statistical significance of 5.7σ, and the measured
cross-section for electroweak production is consistent with the Standard
Model prediction. In addition, we report cross-sections for inclusive
production of a Z-boson pair and two jets for the two final states.},
