We present a study of the sensitivity to models of new physics of proton collisions resulting in three electroweak bosons. As a benchmark, we analyze models in which an exotic scalar field φ is produced in association with a gauge boson ( V = γ or Z ). The scalar then decays to a pair of bosons, giving the process pp → φV → V (cid:48) V (cid:48)(cid:48) V . We interpret our results in a set of effective field theories where the exotic scalar fields couple to the Standard Model through pairs of electroweak gauge bosons. We estimate the sensitivity of the LHC and HL-LHC datasets and find sensitivity to cross sections in the 10 fb – 0.5 fb range, corresponding to scalar masses of 500 GeV to 2 TeV and effective operator coefficients up to 35 TeV. scalars TeV of mass in the − take the 37 Limits are in the 2-3 TeV range for
