LHC EFT WG Note: SMEFT predictions, event reweighting, and simulation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2024-12-19 v5 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

This note gives an overview of the tools for predicting expectations in the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) at the tree level and one loop available through event generators. Methods of event reweighting, the separate simulation of squared matrix elements, and the simulation of the full SMEFT process are compared in terms of statistical efficacy and potential biases.
