The document discusses searches for new physics at the LHC using an effective field theory (EFT) approach. It outlines the talk which will cover EFT applications in the Higgs and electroweak sectors, including Higgs to ZZ* decays and diboson production. The EFT framework is introduced as a way to parameterize potential deviations from the standard model in a model-independent way, without assuming a specific new physics model. The most general EFT basis at dimension-6 contains 2499 operators, which can be reduced to 59 under certain flavor symmetries, using the so-called Warsaw basis.

One option for the meantime: make precise
predictions for LHC and HL-LHC, accommodating
for SM deviations

• Assuming linear representation for the Higgs, no new light particles, and SM symmetries (SMEFT):
• The most general basis in dim-6 has 2499 Operators, 59 if we assume some flavour symmetries:
Here we will use the so-called Warsaw Basis
• The HEFT theory, a non-linear Higgs potential is studied (EChL),
• Leading to a different perturbative counting of the effective Lagrangian

13. BOTTOM-UP EFT
• Assuming linear representation for the Higgs, no new light particles, SM
symmetries, etc:
• Amplitudes and cross-sections:
we discuss a possible strategy for a global analysis including all the dimension-six operators
relevant to this process.
2 SMEFT: notations and conventions
In this work, the bottom-up approach to EFT is used. The SM Lagrangian is extended
with higher dimensional operators, consistent with the known SM symmetries. Further, we
assume a linear representation for the physical Higgs field, in the form an SU(2) doublet.
Such a theory is commonly known as SMEFT:
LSMEFT = LSM +

At dimension-five, dim = 5, there is only one possible operator, from Ref.[53], which doesn’t
enter the process studied in this work. At dim = 6 , the complete basis has 59 operators
in the flavour universal case and 2499 in the most general one. In this work we will use a
parametrisation of the former commonly known as the Warsaw basis, from Ref. [54].
A general method to construct higher dimensional bases using Hilbert series was pro-
posed in Ref. [55]. In the context of VBS, some subsets of dim = 8 operators affecting
quartic gauge couplings have been proposed in Refs. [56, 57]
Other EFT bases There are additional dimension-six bases, other than the Warsaw
basis. It is quite common to use the SILH basis, from Ref.[1] in Higgs phenomenology,
however it is not optimised for multiboson processes. Instead, there is a VBS-dedicated
basis, typically known as the HISZ basis, from Ref.[58].

where the O

i represent a basis of dim = 6 operators built from SM fields and respecting the known
gauge symmetries14
, and ci are the Wilson coefficients of the theory. Further, the SMEFT amplitudes
and cross sections can be parametrised as

Here, we assume the linear contribution (red) of the EFT effects to be leading. Analysis of the dim = 6
quadratic terms and the dim = 8 interference terms (both in blue) will be subject of further studies. In
particular, dim = 8 are commonly associated with quartic gauge couplings and such contribution, albeit
subleading, would represent some added value to the linear dim = 6 prediction.

The exact calculation can be used to improve the global EFT fit,
and also compared with individual analyses, in order to label
eventual deviations.
Many anomalous

52. SUMMARY
• Have we made the best of LHC? And of the Higgs Sector?
• An EFT analysis can parametrise LHC processes in the most
model-independent way
• Differential distributions and backgrounds contain a lot of info
• An accurate EFT prediction can be recycled for the future
52
53. … AND CONCLUSIONS
• Differential distributions + NLO EFT should become the state of the art
for LHC-BSM predictions
• The EW sector is in it’s infancy … there’s a lot to be measured yet
• Someones background can be someone else’s signal !
• A HEFT analysis of VBS will be an interesting counterpart to the SMEFT
• dim-6 + dim-8 combined approach also to follow

Conclusions
The VBS(ZZ) and QCD(ZZ) final states, still largely unexplored at the LHC, will be an important source
of constraints on dim = 6 EFT operators at the HL-LHC. We have shown the impact that values of Wil-
son coefficients still experimentally allowed have on differential distributions that are easily accessible
experimentally in this channel.
Fig. 89: Two generic simulations showing the EFT effects on key differential distributions: invariant
mass of the di-jet system (left) and transverse momentum of the leading Z boson (right). We selected
• VBS(ZZ) with leptonic decays: very good prospects for the future runs
• LHC Run-2: O(10) events HL-LHC: O(100) events

After we use different operators to remove residual dim-6
