We discuss possible New Physics (NP) effects on the processes $\gamma\gamma \to W^+W^-$, $ZZ$, $Z\gamma$, $\gamma\gamma$, $HH$ which are observable in $\gamma\gamma$ collisions. Such collisions may be achieved through laser backscattering…
We bound EFT coefficients appearing in $2 \to 2$ photon scattering amplitudes in four dimensions. After reviewing unitarity and positivity conditions in this context, we use dispersion relations and crossing symmetry to compute sum rules…
The recent discovery of a 126 GeV boson at the LHC will be followed by a detailed examination of its couplings in order to determine whether this particle is the Higgs boson of the standard model or one of many particles of an extended…
Extensions of the Standard Model which involve a new scale, $\Lambda$, may, for energies sufficiently small compared to this new scale, be expressed in terms of operators with energy dimension greater than four. The coefficients of just…
We discuss electroweak precision constraints on dimension-6 operators in the effective theory beyond the standard model. We identify the combinations of these operators that are constrained by the pole observables (the W and Z masses and…
We present a comprehensive reassessment of perturbative unitarity bounds in the dimension-six Standard Model Effective Field Theory, exploiting a new formalism based on spinor-helicity techniques to derive partial-wave unitarity bounds for…
The recent observations of sizable transverse fractions of B-> phi K* are strongly contrary to the Standard Model expectation. We analyze all possible new-physics four-quark operators. We find that two classes of new-physics operators could…
Through an effective field theory approach, we analyze the new physics corrections to muon and beta decays and their effects on the extractions of V_ud and V_us. Assuming nearly flavor blind NP interactions, we find that the only quantity…
We study the unitarity constraint on the two body Higgs boson elastic scattering in the presence of extra dimensions. The contributions from exchange of spin-2 and spin-0 Kaluza-Klein states can have large effect on the partial wave…
We probe the dimension-six operators contributing to Higgs production in association with a $Z$ boson at the future high-luminosity electron-positron colliders. Potential constraints on dimension-six operators in the Higgs sector are…
The effective field theory containing higher dimensional operators violates the unitarity of the $2 \rightarrow 2$ scattering processes in the Standard Model. This unitarity violation depends on the values of the Wilson coefficients…
We extend the standard top-quark Yukawa coupling with a dimension-6 operator in order to accommodate a CP violating complex phase with manifest gauge invariance. This leads to a new $ttHH$ contact interaction, along with many Goldstone…
We develop a formalism, based on spinor-helicity techniques, to generalize the formulation of partial wave unitarity bounds. We discuss unitarity bounds for $N \to M$ (with $N,M \geq 2$) scattering processes -- relevant for high-energy…
We consider a Higgs boson coupled to gluons via the five-dimensional effective operator H tr G_{\mu\nu}G^{\mu\nu}. We treat H as the real part of a complex field phi that couples to the selfdual gluon field strengths and compute the…
New physics effects in $B$ decays are routinely modeled through operators invariant under the strong and electromagnetic gauge symmetries. Assuming the scale for new physics is well above the electro-weak scale, we further require…
In this paper we express the effect of new physics on gauge boson self energy corrections through non-renormalizable dimension six operators. Using the precision electroweak data we then determine a lower bound on the scale ${\l}$…
We study the constraints implied by partial wave unitarity on new physics in the form of spin-zero di-boson resonances at LHC. We derive the scale where the effective description in terms of the SM supplemented by a single resonance is…
In this paper we present the partial wave unitarity bound in the parameter space of dimension-5 and dimension-6 effective operators that arise in a compositeness scenario. These are routinely used in experimental searches at the LHC to…
If there is new physics associated with the top quark, it could show up as anomalous couplings of the top quark to weak gauge bosons, such as $Z\ttbar$ and $W\tbbar$ vector and axial-vector couplings. We use the processes $\ttbar\to…
We consider a Higgs boson coupled to gluons via the five-dimensional effective operator H Tr G_{munu}G^{munu} produced by considering the heavy top quark limit of the one-loop coupling of Higgs and gluons in the standard model. We treat H…
