We study the indirect effects of new physics on phenomenology recently discovered ``Higgs-like'' particle. In a model-independent framework these can be parametrized in terms an effective Lagrangian at electroweak scale. theory which $SU(2{)}_{L}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}U(1{)}_{Y}$ gauge symmetry is linearly realized they appear lowest order as dimension-six operators, containing all standard model fields including light scalar doublet, with unknown coefficients. discuss choice...
The recently announced Higgs boson discovery marks the dawn of direct probing electroweak symmetry breaking sector. Sorting out dynamics responsible for now requires interactions and searching additional states connected to this In work, we analyze constraints on couplings standard model gauge bosons using available data from Tevatron LHC. We work in a model-independent framework expressing departure by dimension-six operators. This allows independent modifications its gluons, photons, weak...
The pattern of deviations from Standard Model predictions and couplings is different for theories new physics based on a non-linear realization the SU(2)L × U(1)Y gauge symmetry breaking those assuming linear realization. We clarify this issue in model-independent way via its effective Lagrangian formulation presence light Higgs particle, up to first order expansions: dimension-six operators expansion four derivatives one. Complete sets gauge-Higgs are considered, implementing...
Based on Run I data we present a comprehensive analysis of Higgs couplings. For the first time this SFitter includes independent tests Higgs-gluon and top Yukawa couplings, decays to invisible particles, off-shell measurements. The observed boson is fully consistent with Standard Model, both in terms coupling modifications effective field theory. only total rates results using approaches are essentially equivalent, exception strong correlations parameter space induced by operators. These can...
The effective Lagrangian expansion provides a framework to study effects of new physics at the electroweak scale. To make full use LHC data in constraining higher-dimensional operators we need include both Higgs and gauge sector our study. We first present an analysis relevant di-boson production results update constraints on triple boson couplings. Our bounds are several times stronger than those obtained from LEP data. Next, show how combination with measurements vertices lead significant...

We analyze the potential of CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to study structure quartic vector-boson interactions through pair production electroweak gauge bosons via weak boson fusion $qq\ensuremath{\rightarrow}qqWW$.

The isoentropic, but energy-nonconserving, time evolution of mixed quantum states is studied in mechanics and field theory. A variational principle, which gives the Liouville--von Neumann equation, implemented approximately by making a Gaussian Ansatz for density matrix. dynamical equations governing parameters that define satisfy variously analogous to Schr\"odinger equation mechanical problems. Interesting nonequilibrium found special cases, as, example, when analog rise reflectionless...
In the framework of effective Lagrangians with SU(2)(L)×U(1)(Y) symmetry linearly realized, modifications couplings Higgs field to electroweak gauge bosons are related anomalous triple (TGCs). Here, we show that analysis latest boson production data at LHC and Tevatron give rise strong bounds on TGCs complementary those from direct TGC analysis. We present constraints obtained by combining all available studies
The larger center-of-mass energy of the Large Hadron Collider Run 2 opens up possibility a more detailed study quartic vertices electroweak gauge bosons. Our goal in this work is to classify all operators possessing interactions among bosons that do not exhibit triple gauge-boson associated them. We obtain relevant nonlinear and linear realizations $SU(2{)}_{L}\ensuremath{\bigotimes}U(1{)}_{Y}$ symmetry.
We perform a complete study of the electroweak precision observables and gauge boson pair production in terms Standard Model effective field theory up to $\mathcal{O}(1/{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}}^{4})$ under assumption universal $C$ $P$ conserving new physics. show that analysis data from those two sectors allows us obtain closed constraints relevant parameter space this scenario. In particular, we find Large Hadron Collider can independently constrain Wilson coefficients dimension-six...
We analyze the scattering of fermions, Higgs and electroweak gauge bosons in order to obtain partial-wave unitarity bounds on dimension-six effective operators, including those involving fermions. also quantify whether, at LHC energies, operators lead violation after taking into account presently available constraints their Wilson coefficients. Our results show that for most relevant physics there is no consequently, need introduction form factors experimental phenomenological analyses,...
With the discovery of Higgs boson, spectrum particles in Standard Model (SM) is complete. It more important than ever to perform precision measurements and test for deviations from SM predictions electroweak sector. In this report, we investigate two themes arena measurements: observables (EWPOs) that particle content couplings minimal supersymmetric SM, involving multiple gauge bosons final state which provide unique probes basic tenets symmetry breaking. Among EWPOs focus our discussion on...

In this note, we give a definitive basis for the dimension-eight operators leading to quartic—but no cubic—interactions among electroweak gauge bosons. These are often called anomalous quartic couplings, or aQGCs. We distinguish in particular CP-even ones from their CP-odd counterparts.
We study Drell-Yan production in universal theories consistently including effects beyond dimension six the SMEFT. Within SMEFT and with $C$ $P$ conservation we find that eleven dimension-eight operators contribute addition to contributing at dimension-six. first work an operator basis which higher derivatives of bosonic fields have been rotated by equations motion favor combinations involving SM fermion currents. derive general form amplitudes expansion ${\cal O}(\Lambda^{-4})$ identify...
