Abstract

This paper presents the impact of the inclusion of next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD and electroweak (EW) corrections for dimension-6 Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) predictions for the Higgs decays in Higgs couplings measurements at the Large Hadron Collider. Such higher-order corrections will be increasingly important for the precise Higgs and electroweak measurements expected at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). The results are compared with a SMEFT parameterisation employing inputs from a previous ATLAS study, in which the dimension-6 SMEFT contributions are evaluated for each production and decay process at the lowest non-vanishing perturbative QCD order of the corresponding SM process. The effects of the SMEFT NLO QCD/EW contributions to the Higgs decay channels are largest for 2-fermion operators involving the third generation. The sensitivity to the Higgs tri-linear coupling is also explored.

The NLL/NLO$^+$ QCD spectrum from Higgs-plus-charm correlations at the LHC

We investigate the high-energy behavior of observables sensitive to the production of a Higgs boson in association with a singly charmed hadron at the $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV LHC, with light-flavored hadrons considered for comparison. Our reference formalism is the hybrid factorization at NLL/NLO$^+$, where the standard coll...

Complete electroweak corrections to diphoton production via gluon fusion at the LHC

We present a complete calculation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak corrections to the loop-induced gluon-fusion process $gg\to\gamma\gamma$ at the LHC, including the full third-generation quark and the Higgs boson contributions for the first time. To efficiently evaluate the large number of multi-scale tw...

Probing the Validity of EFT Approaches in Higgs + Jet Production at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV

The production of a Higgs boson with a jet is one of the most important processes studied at the LHC. It serves as a sensitive probe of high-energy dynamics and provides a powerful testing ground for the Standard Model, while also offering sensitivity to possible new physics effects. In this work, we perform a phenomen...

Multiboson production at multi-TeV lepton colliders as complementary probes to rare Higgs decays

We study the potential of very high-energy lepton colliders to probe effective operators affecting the loop-induced Higgs boson decays $h\to \gamma\gamma$ and $h\to Z\gamma$, providing constraints complementary to Higgs coupling measurements at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we consider processes with two an...

Decay modeling in 4top production

We present NLO QCD predictions for the $pp\to t\bar{t}t\bar{t}+X$ process in the 4 lepton decay channel at the integrated and differential level for the LHC centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13.6$~TeV. Specifically, we compare the fixed order NLO QCD calculations to the parton-shower matched results obtained with \tex...

Top-quark pair production sensitivity to heavy new physics at the FCC-ee

We study the sensitivity of top-quark pair production at the FCC-ee to heavy new physics, parametrised in the Standard Model effective field theory, using discriminants based on matrix elements. The analysis includes detector reconstruction effects, obtained with a fast simulation of the IDEA detector concept, and jet...
