Probing EFT models using top quark production in multilepton final states
Abstract
Using data consisting of top quarks produced with additional final leptons collected by the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV from 2016 to 2018 (138 fb), a search for beyond standard model (BSM) physics is presented. The BSM physics is probed in the context of Effective Field Theory (EFT) by parameterizing potential new physics effects in terms of 26 dimension-six EFT operators. The data are categorized based on lepton multiplicity, total lepton charge, jet multiplicities, and b-tagged jet multiplicities. To gain further sensitivity to potential new physics (NP) effects, events in each jet category are binned using kinematic differential distributions. A simultaneous fit to data is performed to put constraints on the 26 operators. The results are consistent with the standard model prediction.
