Abstract We calculate the $$ \mathcal{O}\left({\left\langle {H}^{\dagger }H\right\rangle}^2/{\Lambda}^4\right) $$ O H † H 2 / Λ 4 corrections to LEP electroweak precision data using the geometric formulation of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We report our results in simple-to-use interpolation tables that allow the interpretation of this data set to dimension eight for the first time. We demonstrate the impact of these previously unknown terms in the case of a general analysis in the SMEFT, and also in the cases of two distinct models matched to dimension eight. Neglecting such dimension-eight corrections to LEP observables introduces a theoretical error in SMEFT studies. We report some preliminary studies defining such a theory error, explicitly demonstrating the effect of previously unknown dimension-eight SMEFT corrections on LEP observables.

Abstract We present a complete basis of dimension-8 operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Attention is paid to operators that vanish in the absence of flavor structure. The 44,807 operators are encoded in 1,031 Lagrangian terms. We also briefly discuss a few aspects of phenomenology involving dimension-8 operators, including light-by-light scattering and electroweak precision data.

Electroweak Precision Data

Electroweak precision data have been extensively used to constrain models containing physics beyond that of the Standard Model (SM). When the model contains Higgs scalars in representations other than singlets or doublets, and hence ρ≠1 at tree-level, a correct renormalization scheme requires more inputs than the three commonly used for the SM case. In such cases, the one-loop electroweak results cannot be split into a SM contribution plus a piece which vanishes as the scale of new physics becomes much larger than MW. We illustrate our results by presenting the dependence of MW on the top-quark mass in a model with a Higgs triplet and in the SU (2)L × SU (2)R left–right symmetric model. In these models, the allowed range for the lightest neutral Higgs mass can be as large as a few TeV.

Electroweak Precision Data

Overall, the Standard Model describes electroweak precision data rather well. There are however a few areas of tension (charged current universality, NuTeV, (g-2)μ, b quark asymmetries), which I review critically, emphasizing recent theoretical and experimental progress. I also summarize what precision data tell us about the Higgs boson and new physics scenarios. In this context, the role of a precise measurement of the top mass is crucial.

Abstract The measurements carried out at LEP and SLC projected us into the precision era of electroweak physics. This has also been relevant in the theoretical interpretation of LHCb and Belle measurements of rare B semileptonic decays, paving the road for new physics with the inference of lepton universality violation in $$ {R}_{K^{\left(\ast \right)}} $$ R K ∗ ratios. The simplest explanation of these flavour anomalies — sizeable one-loop contributions respecting Minimal Flavour Violation — is currently disfavoured by electroweak precision data. In this work, we discuss how to completely relieve the present tension between electroweak constraints and one-loop minimal flavour violating solutions to $$ {R}_{K^{\left(\ast \right)}} $$ R K ∗ . We determine the correlations in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory that highlight the existence of such a possibility. Then, we consider minimal extensions of the Standard Model where our effective-field-theory picture can be realized. We discuss how these solutions to b → sℓℓ anomalies, respecting electroweak precision and without any new source of flavour violation, may point to the existence of a Z′ boson at around the TeV scale, within the discovery potential of LHC, or to leptoquark scenarios.

Abstract The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) is an established theoretical framework that parametrises the impact a UV theory has on low-energy observables. Such parametrization is achieved by studying the interactions of SM fields encapsulated within higher mass dimensional (≥ 5) operators. Through judicious employment of the tools of EFTs, SMEFT has become a source of new predictions as well as a platform for conducting a coherent comparison of new physics (beyond Standard Model) scenarios. We, for the first time, are proposing a diagrammatic approach to establish selection criteria for the allowed heavy field representations corresponding to each SMEFT operator. We have elucidated the links of a chain connecting specific CP conserving dimension-6 SMEFT operators with unique sets of heavy field representations. The contact interactions representing each effective operator have been unfolded into tree- and (or) one-loop-level diagrams to reveal unique embeddings of heavy fields within them. For each case, the renormalizable vertices of a UV model serve as the building blocks for all possible unfolded diagrams. Based on this, we have laid the groundwork to construct observable-driven new physics models. This in turn also prevents us from making redundant analyses of similar models. While we have taken a predominantly minimalistic approach, we have also highlighted the necessity for non-minimal interactions for certain operators.

Making use of the geometric formulation of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory we calculate the one-loop tadpole diagrams to all orders in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory power counting. This work represents the first calculation of a one-loop amplitude beyond leading order in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, and discusses the potential to extend this methodology to perform similar calculations of observables in the near future.

First Time

The weak charge of the proton has been determined for the first time via a high precision electron-proton scattering experiment, Qweak, carried out at Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) in Newport News, USA. The weak charge is a basic property in subatomic physics, analogous to electric charge. The Standard Model makes a prediction for the weak charges of protons and other particles. First results described here are based on an initial 4% of the data set reported in 20131, with the ultimate goal of the experiment being a high precision Standard Model test conducted with the full Qweak data set. These initial results are consistent with the Standard Model prediction; they serve as an important first determination of the proton’s weak charge and a proof of principle that the ultimate goals are within reach.
