We derive the contact terms contributing to the four-point amplitudes of the standard-model particles, keeping terms with up to quartic energy growth. Imposing just the unbroken low-energy symmetry, and treating the electroweak gauge bosons…
We present a map between the tree-level Standard Model Effective Theory (SMEFT) in the Warsaw basis and massive on-shell amplitudes. As a first step, we focus on the electroweak sector without fermions. We describe the Feynman rules for a…
We study the on-shell version of the Higgs mechanism in effective theories (EFTs) containing particles of different spins, focusing on contact terms as a simple starting point. We derive the massive contact terms and their coefficients from…

We consider the associated production of a Higgs boson and a photon in weak boson fusion in the Standard Model (SM) and the Standard Model Effective Theory (SMEFT), with the Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks. Analysing events…
The electroweak symmetry-breaking sector is one of the most promising and uncharted parts of the Standard Model; but it seems likely that new electroweak physics may be out of reach of the present accelerator effort and the hope is to…
A standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) analysis with dimension-six operators probing nonresonant new physics effects is performed in the Higgs-strahlung process, where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a W or Z boson,…
We study the process $pp \to Z(\ell^+ \ell^-)h(b\bar b)$ in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) at high energies using subjet techniques to reconstruct the Higgs boson. We show that at high energies this process probes four…
The total cross section of the process $\mu^- \mu^+ \to \nu_\mu \bar{\nu}_\mu t \bar{t} H$ has strong dependence on the CP phase $\xi$ of the top Yukawa coupling, where the ratio of $\xi=\pi$ and $\xi = 0$ (SM) grows to 670 at $\sqrt{s}$ =…

New physics interactions beyond the Standard Model can make themselves known as small corrections to Standard Model reactions. There is a diverse array of proposals for new physics, and so any parametrization of those effects must be as…
