Probing New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider: the Effective Field Theory Pathway

有效场论(EFT)是一个与模型无关的框架，它允许我们在大型强子对撞机上寻找重新物理。为了最大限度地提高我们对新物理效应的敏感度，EFT已经投入了大量的努力来改进理论预测。该项目旨在提供SMEFT中的第一个电弱修正计算，并在公共工具中实现这些计算，以使理论家和实验者能够进行真实的模拟。另一个目标是将精确的SMEFT预测与大型强子对撞机数据结合起来，通过稳健的全球确定来约束算子。这些发现，特别是如果与SM的预期不同，将指向NP的规模和性质。最后，我们的目标是探索新的具有挑战性的建议，例如i)操作员运行和混合对EFT解释的影响，以及ii)在大型强子对撞机测量量子可见的前景。

Effective Field Theory (EFT) is a model independent framework which allows us to search for heavy New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider. A lot of effort has been devoted towards improving theoretical predictions in the EFT to maximise our sensitivity to New Physics effects. The project aims to provide the first computation of electroweak corrections in the SMEFT, also implementing these in public tools to allow theorists and experimentalists to perform realistic simulations. Another goal is to combine accurate SMEFT predictions with LHC data to constrain the operators through a robust global determinations. The findings, particularly if different from the SM expectations, will point to the scale and nature of NP. Finally we aim to explore new challenging proposals, such as i) the impact of operator running and mixing on EFT interpretations and ii) the prospects of measuring quantum observables at the LHC.
