abstract = {Searches for anomalous neutral triple gauge boson couplings (NTGCs) provide
important tests for the gauge structure of the standard model. At the LHC, NTGCs are
searched for via the process pp → ZZ → 4l, where the two Z-bosons are on-shell. In
this paper, we discuss how the same process can occur through tree-level diagrams just
adding a vector-like quark (VLQ) to the standard model. Since NTGCs are generated in
standard model effective theory (SMEFT) only at 1-loop order, vector like quarks could be
an important alternative interpretation to, and background for, NTGC searches. Here, we
construct a simple example model, discuss low-energy constraints and estimate current and
future sensitivities on the model parameters from pp → ZZ → 4l searches.},
