Book excerpt: This thesis presents a search for a doubly-charged Higgs boson in three and four lepton final states. The two production modes considered are the associated production mode with a doubly-charged Higgs boson produced in association with a singly-charged Higgs boson and the pair production mode with the simultaneous production of two doubly-charged Higgs bosons. The search is performed with 12.9 fb-1 of square root s = 13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected with the Compact Muon Solenoid at the Large Hadron Collider. In addition, this thesis presents the first measurement of the WZ production cross section in proton-proton collisions at square root s = 13 TeV. The measurement is performed in the WZ to [l][v][l]'[l]' decay mode where [l], [l]' = e, [mu] with an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb-1.
