A measurement of the inclusive ZZ production cross section and constraints on anomalous triple gauge couplings in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV$ are presented. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6/fb, collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The measurements are performed in the leptonic decay modes ZZ → llll, where l = e, μ and l = e, μ, τ. The measured total cross section $ (pp ZZ) = 7.7 ~() + 0.5 -0.4~() ~() ()pb$, for both Z bosons produced in the mass range $60 < m_Z < 120 \GeV$, is consistent with standard model predictions. Differential cross sections, in phase space $p_T(\mu) > 5 \GeV$, $p_T(e) > 7 \GeV$, |η(μ)| < 2.4 , |η(e)| < 2.5 and the 60–120~mass requirement, are measured and well described by the theoretical predictions. The invariant mass distribution of the four-lepton system is used to set limits on anomalous ZZZ and ZZγ couplings at the 95% confidence level, −0.004 < f4Z < 0.004, −0.004 < f5Z < 0.004, −0.005 < f4γ < 0.005, and −0.005 < f5γ < 0.005.
