Projekt
The effective electroweak Lagrangian in the light of the LHC (A2a)
Subject Area
Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
Term
since 2019
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 396021762
In this project we will use the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) to analyse the LHC Run 3 data and confront them with theoretical predictions in the Higgs, electroweak and top sectors. We shall perform global fits in the SMEFT framework with the SFitter tool, which allows a comprehensive treatment of uncertainties and has the flexibility to incorporate a wide range of generic LHC measurements. The global fit of the upcoming LHC data will include new sets of measurements, in particular kinematic distributions, and a refined treatment of uncertainties in the Bayesian framework. A particular focus will be on the interplay between the SMEFT description and specific models, to explore the complementarity of SMEFT and model-specific searches for New Physics.
