In this paper we explore $pp \to W^\pm (\ell^\pm \nu) \gamma$ to $\mathcal O(1/\Lambda^4)$ in the SMEFT expansion. Calculations to this order are necessary to properly capture SMEFT contributions that grow with energy, as the interference…

We calculate the $S$-matrix element for the Higgs boson decay to a $Z$-boson and a photon, $h\to Z\gamma$, at one-loop in the Standard-Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework and in linear $R_{\xi}$-gauges. Our SMEFT expansion…

We show that the analyticity and crossing symmetry of the S-matrix, together with the optical theorem, impose restrictions on the renormalisation group evolution of dimension-eight operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory.…
