In this dissertation, we detail the investigation of anomalous C2V couplings in the pro- duction process ( p p → V V H + j j ) with a single-lepton final state. This research utilizes a dataset from proton-proton collisions at ( √s = 13TeV ) acquired by the CMS experiment over the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 f b−1. The analysis focuses on final states in which the vector bosons and the Higgs boson, decaying hadronically, are identified as single large-radius jets. We explore a semi-leptonic final state, characterizing one of the W boson candidates through the tagging of a high transverse momentum, isolated muon or electron.
