Natural selection rules: new positivity bounds for massive spinning particles

Joe Davighi et al.

Summary: This study derives new effective field theory positivity bounds on the elastic 2 -> 2 scattering amplitudes of massive spinning particles based on the standard UV properties of unitarity, causality, locality, and Lorentz invariance. By bounding the t derivatives of the amplitude, stronger unitarity bounds on the s- and u-channel branch cuts are obtained. These bounds provide stronger constraints beyond the forward limit and can be used to constrain dimension-6 interactions with a milder assumption about the high-energy growth of the UV amplitude.

Bayesian approach to inverse problems: an application to NNPDF closure testing

Luigi Del Debbio et al.

Summary: In this study, the Bayesian approach to solution of inverse problems is discussed and applied to analyze the closure tests performed by the NNPDF collaboration. Insights gained from analytical results are used to guide the analysis of more complex non-linear problems. The study shows that the posterior probability density of the parametrized parton distributions (PDFs) can be fully determined by the NNPDF fitting procedure in the case of Gaussian distributions. New estimators are introduced to assess the statistical reliability of the closure test results, and these estimators are analyzed using the Bayesian formalism in a linear model to clarify their meaning. Results from closure tests performed with the NNPDF methodologies are presented to validate the NNPDF4.0 methodology and provide a quantitative comparison with the NNPDF3.1 methodology.

Deuteron uncertainties in the determination of proton PDFs

Richard D. Ball et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the uncertainties due to nuclear effects on proton parton distribution functions in global fits, utilizing an iterative procedure to determine both proton and deuteron PDFs simultaneously. It was found that the impact of nuclear uncertainty on proton PDFs is minimal, and overall uncertainties are insignificant once corrections for nuclear effects are made.

Parton Density Uncertainties and the Determination of Electroweak Parameters at Hadron Colliders

Emanuele Bagnaschi et al.

Summary: The discussion focuses on determining electroweak parameters from hadron collider observables, particularly the W-boson mass measurement. By revising the procedures to include the uncertainty of proton structure and treating PDF uncertainty as a source of systematic error, the correlation between kinematic distributions and PDF variations can be automatically included in the fit, leading to a reduction in PDF uncertainty. This improvement relies on systematic accounting of QCD-based PDF model features using current available information, suggesting that proton PDF uncertainty may not be a bottleneck for precision measurements in the future.

On the W&Y interpretation of high-energy Drell-Yan measurements

Riccardo Torre et al.

Summary: This paper provides theoretical predictions of high-energy neutral and charged Drell-Yan differential cross-section measurements, including new physics effects at the Next-to-Leading order in QCD. The predictions are obtained from SM Monte Carlo simulations through analytic reweighting, enabling the exploration of all relevant interactions. Projections for the sensitivity of LHC and HL-LHC measurements are presented, along with quantification of the impact of several sources of uncertainties.

Combined SMEFT interpretation of Higgs, diboson, and top quark data from the LHC

Jacob J. Ethier et al.

Summary: In this study, a global interpretation of Higgs, diboson, and top quark measurements at the LHC was presented within the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) at dimension six. By constraining 36 independent directions in the parameter space, and incorporating both linear and quadratic corrections, the study demonstrated the importance of including NLO QCD and O (Lambda(-4)) effects for accurately mapping the posterior distributions associated with the fitted Wilson coefficients. The results highlight the interplay and complementarity between top quark, Higgs, and diboson measurements, and pave the way for more global SMEFT interpretations extended to other high-p(T) processes and low-energy observables.

Parton distributions from LHC, HERA, Tevatron and fixed target data: MSHT20 PDFs

S. Bailey et al.

Summary: The new MSHT20 set of parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton, determined from global analyses of hard scattering data, includes updates such as improved parameterizations, new precise data, and NNLO QCD corrections. The NNLO fit is strongly favored over the NLO due to wider range and increased precision of data included in the fit, resulting in reduced uncertainties in predictions for processes such as Higgs, top quark pair, and W, Z production at post LHC Run-II energies.

Top, Higgs, diboson and electroweak fit to the Standard Model effective field theory

John Ellis et al.

Summary: The search for effective field theory deformations of the Standard Model is conducted through a global approach in the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. The analysis includes constraints on the coefficients of SMEFT operators and explores specific ultra-violet completions of the Standard Model, but does not find significant evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model.

High-energy EFT probes with fully differential Drell-Yan measurements

Giuliano Panico et al.

Summary: The study investigates the potential of fully-differential measurements of high-energy dilepton cross-sections at the LHC to probe heavy new physics encapsulated in dimension-6 interaction operators. Results show a considerable sensitivity improvement relative to single-differential measurements due to the possibility of probing more directions in the seven-dimensional parameter space at the interference level. The reduction of parton distribution function uncertainties in the fully-differential fit is also found to play a significant role.

Dilepton production in the SMEFT at O(1/Λ4)

Radja Boughezal et al.

Summary: This study examines the inclusion of O(1/Lambda(4)) effects in fits to current LHC Drell-Yan data within the Standard Model effective field theory. The analysis finds that including dimension-6 squared terms and certain dimension-8 operators significantly impacts the data fits, and neglecting them leads to large errors in constraining dimension-6 operators. Additionally, specific combinations of dimension-8 four-fermion operators at the TeV level can already be probed by LHC results and including them changes the limits found for dimension-6 operators.

New physics through Drell-Yan standard model EFT measurements at NLO

Sally Dawson et al.

Summary: Drell Yan production, as a sensitive probe of new physics, has been calculated to high order in both the electroweak and QCD sectors of the standard model, allowing for precision comparisons between theory and data. The calculations have been extended to the standard model effective field theory, presenting the next-to-leading order QCD and electroweak contributions to the neutral Drell-Yan process.

Complete set of dimension-eight operators in the standard model effective field theory

Hao-Lin Li et al.

Summary: Utilizing group theoretic techniques, we have systematically and automatically provided a complete list of the dimension-eight operator basis in the standard model effective field theory, adopting a new form of operators based on the irreducible representations of the Lorentz group and identifying Lorentz structures as states in an SU(N) group. By ensuring the independence and permutation symmetries of the operators, our approach facilitates the handling of complexity arising from repeated fields. The explicit form of independent flavor-specified operators has been presented for the first time, and our algorithm can be easily applied to higher-dimensional standard model effective field theory and other effective field theories, making these studies more accessible.

New CTEQ global analysis of quantum chromodynamics with high-precision data from the LHC

Tie-Jiun Hou et al.

Summary: The new parton distribution functions (PDFs) from the CTEQ-TEA collaboration are determined using a wide variety of high-precision Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data, in addition to other datasets. These PDFs are analyzed at next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-leading order, with error sets determined using the Hessian method. The data sensitivity and preference towards quantities such as α(s)(m(Z)), and the gluon and strange quark distributions are quantified using fast PDF survey techniques.
