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.},
