Probing New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider: the Effective Field Theory Pathway
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is hunting for signs of New Physics (NP) in the vast amount of data collected by its experiments. If new states are heavier than the collider energy reach, their presence can be revealed by modifications of the interactions of the known particles. The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) parametrises such deviations from the SM, extending the sensitivity to scales beyond those directly probed at colliders. Determining the parameters of the EFT will shed light on the nature of NP and will provide hints to the most important questions in particle physics, such as the shape of the Higgs potential, its relation to electroweak baryogenesis and the amount…
