One of the goals of the upcoming experiments at the LHC is the exploration of electroweak symmetry breaking in all aspects. In particular, the self-couplings of the vector gauge bosons are completely specified in the Standard Model, as are the couplings of the Higgs boson to the vector bosons once the Higgs mass is known. The vector boson fusion mechanism is examined in order to measure the process W + W -> Z + Z which has a favorable signal to noise ratio and which has a major contribution from the quartic coupling WWZZ.
