The triple gluon field strength operator $G^3$ represents the only genuinely gluonic CP conserving term which can appear at dimension-6 within an effective strong interaction Lagrangian. Previous studies of this operator have revealed that…
Strong-interaction physics that lies beyond the standard model may conveniently be described by an effective Lagrangian. The only genuinely gluonic CP-conserving term at dimension six is the three-gluon-field-strength operator $G^3$. This…
We use top quark pair production as a probe of top-philic non-resonant new physics. Following a low energy effective field theory approach, we calculate several key observables in top quark pair production at hadron colliders (e.g., total…
We show how to detect and disentangle at the upgraded Tevatron and at LHC, the effects of the three purely gluonic $dim=6$ $SU(3)\times SU(2) \times U(1)$ CP-conserving and CP-violating gauge invariant operators $\ol{\O}_{DG}$, $\O_G$ and…

Effective operators provide a model-independent description of physics beyond the stan- dard model that is particularly useful given the absence of any signs of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We recast previous LHC analyses…

We present an analysis of constraints on two types of CP-odd electron-gluonic operators $(\bar{e}i\gamma^5 e)G_{\mu\nu}^a G^{a\mu\nu}$ and $(\bar{e}e)G_{\mu\nu}^a \tilde{G}^{a\mu\nu}$ from current and future electric dipole moment (EDM)…
In this article we study the effect of Hg contact interaction on H production by gluon fusion at at a hadron collider. Two such d=6 operators have been considered. The present precision for measuring \alpha_s implies a lower bound of around…
We present the cross sections for the hadroproduction of gluinos by taking into account the CP odd dipole operators in supersymmetric QCD. The dependence of the cross sections on these operators is analyzed for the hadron colliders the…
We consider single-top production as a probe for new physics effects at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We argue that for natural theories a small deviation from the Standard Model tree-level couplings in this reaction can be parameterized…
Searches for new physics in the top quark sector are of great theoretical interest, yet some powerful avenues for discovery remain unexplored. We characterize the expected statistical power of the LHC dataset to constrain the single…
In the absence of a concrete discovery of new physics at the LHC, global analyses of the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) are important to find and describe the impact of new physics beyond the energy reach of the LHC. Among…
We investigate the impact of dimension-8 operators on $W^+W^-$ production at the LHC for the incoming gluon-gluon channel. To this end, we have identified all dimension-8 CP-even operators contributing to the process in question, and…
