Standard model EFT corrections to Z boson decays

We compute the one-loop corrections to Z decay properties from dimension-six operators in the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) that contribute also to anomalous 3-gauge boson couplings and examine the relative sensitivity of the two processes to the anomalous couplings. The size of the contributions is of order a few percent, of the same size as Standard Model electroweak corrections. This is part of a program of computing electroweak quantities to one-loop in the SMEFT: these calculations are needed for a future global fit to limit the coefficients of the dimension-six Wilson coefficients consistently at one-loop.
