Abstract
A search for the production of events containing three
W
bosons predicted by the standard model is reported. The search is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC and corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of
35.9
fb

. The search is performed in final states with three leptons (electrons or muons), or with two same-charge leptons plus two jets. The observed (expected) significance of the signal for
W

production is 0.60 (1.78) standard deviations, and the ratio of the measured signal yield to that expected from the standard model is

. Limits are placed on three anomalous quartic gauge couplings and on the production of massive axionlike particles.
