Abstract

Here, we present a practical three-step procedure of using the Standard Model effective field theory (SM EFT) to connect ultraviolet (UV) models of new physics with weak scale precision observables. With this procedure, one can interpret precision measurements as constraints on a given UV model. We give a detailed explanation for calculating the effective action up to one-loop order in a manifestly gauge covariant fashion. This covariant derivative expansion method dramatically simplifies the process of matching a UV model with the SM EFT, and also makes available a universal formalism that is easy to use for a variety of UV models. A few general aspects of RG running effects and choosing operator bases are discussed. Finally, we provide mapping results between the bosonic sector of the SM EFT and a complete set of precision electroweak and Higgs observables to which present and near future experiments are sensitive. Many results and tools which should prove useful to those wishing to use the SM EFT are detailed in several appendices.

Higgs production in association with a top-antitop pair in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory at NLO in QCD

Journal Article Maltoni, Fabio ; Vryonidou, Eleni ; Zhang, Cen - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We present the results of the computation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production cross section of a Higgs boson in association with a top-antitop pair at the LHC, including the three relevant dimension-six operators (O _tφ, O _φG, O _tG) of the standard model effective field theory. These operators also contribute to the production of Higgs bosons in loop-induced processes at the LHC, such as inclusive Higgs, Hj and HH production, and modify the Higgs decay branching ratios for which we also provide predictions. We perform a detailed study of the cross sections and their uncertainties atmore »« less

Constraining the top-Higgs sector of the standard model effective field theory

Journal Article Cirigliano, V. ; Dekens, W. ; de Vries, J. ; ... - Physical Review D

Working in the framework of the Standard Model effective field theory, we study chirality-flipping couplings of the top quark to Higgs and gauge bosons. In this paper, we discuss in detail the renormalization-group evolution to lower energies and investigate direct and indirect contributions to high- and low-energy $CP$-conserving and $CP$-violating observables. Our analysis includes constraints from collider observables, precision electroweak tests, flavor physics, and electric dipole moments. We find that indirect probes are competitive or dominant for both $CP$-even and $CP$-odd observables, even after accounting for uncertainties associated with hadronic and nuclear matrix elements, illustrating the importance of including operatormore »« less

Off-shell single-top-quark production in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory

Journal Article Neumann, Tobias ; Sullivan, Zack Edward - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We present a fully differential and spin-dependent t-channel single-top-quark calculation at next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD including off-shell effects by using the complex mass scheme in the Standard Model (SM) and in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We include all relevant SMEFT operators at 1/Λmore »« less

Higgs decays to $Z Z$ and $Z γ$ in the standard model effective field theory: An NLO analysis [Higgs decays to $Z Z$ and $Z γ$ in the SMEFT: An NLO analysis]

Journal Article Dawson, Sally ; Giardino, P. P. - Physical Review D

Here, we calculate the complete one-loop electroweak corrections to the inclusive H → ZZ and H → Zγ decays in the dimension-6 extension of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). The corrections to H → ZZ are computed for on-shell Z bosons and are a precursor to the physical H → Zff¯ calculation. We present compact numerical formulas for our results and demonstrate that the logarithmic contributions that result from the renormalization group evolution of the SMEFT coefficients are larger than the finite NLO contributions to the decay widths. As a by-product of our calculation, we obtain the firstmore »« less

Holomorphy without supersymmetry in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory

Journal Article Alonso, Rodrigo ; Jenkins, Elizabeth E. ; Manohar, Aneesh V. - Physics Letters. Section B

The anomalous dimensions of dimension-six operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) respect holomorphy to a large extent. Holomorphy conditions are reminiscent of supersymmetry, even though the SMEFT is not a supersymmetric theory.
