Title: Custodial symmetry violation in the SMEFT

Abstract

We investigate precision observables sensitive to custodial symmetric/violating UV physics beyond the Standard Model. We use the SMEFT framework which in general includes non-oblique corrections that requires a generalization of the Peskin-Takeuchi T parameter to unambiguously detect custodial symmetry/violation. We take a first step towards constructing a SMEFT reparameterization-invariant replacement, that we call T, valid at least for tree-level custodial violating contributions. We utilize a new custodial basis of νSMEFT (SMEFT augmented by right-handed neutrinos) which explicitly identifies the global SU(2)R symmetries of the Higgs and fermion sectors, that in turn permits easy identification of higher-dimensional operators that are custodial preserving or violating. We carefully consider equation-of-motion redundancies that cause custodial symmetric operators in one basis to be equivalent to a set of custodial symmetric and/or violating operators in another basis. Utilizing known results about tree/loop operator generation, we demonstrate that the basis-dependent appearance of custodial-violating operators does not invalidate our T parameter at tree-level. We illustrate our results with several UV theory examples, demonstrating that T faithfully identifies custodial symmetry violation, while T can fail.
