Recent studies in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) highlight the importance of consistently retaining terms of order O(1/$\Lambda^4$) in theoretical predictions. In this presentation, we analyze SMEFT at O(1/$\Lambda^4$), including 1-loop renormalization group evolution (RGE) effects arising from the scale dependence of Wilson coefficients, with explicit incorporation of...
Gluon-gluon fusion is the dominant channel for Higgs production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and will remain a key probe of Higgs interactions at the High-Luminosity LHC, where improved experimental precision will require equally precise theoretical predictions. In this talk we focus on Higgs production via gluon-gluon fusion within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) at...
We present the analytic computation of the two-loop electroweak bosonic correction to the parity asymmetry in Moller scattering at low energy. The hierarchy of scales, namely $m_Z^2\gg q^2\gg m_e^2$, and the IR singularities are treated with the method of regions. We discuss the implications of our results to MOLLER at JLab and give an outlook for electron-proton and electron-nucleus scattering at P2.
Since the discovery of the Higgs boson at LHC, particle physics has entered a new precision era in which improving the accuracy of Standard Model predictions is essential for testing the theory and uncovering potential hints of new physics. In this context, diphoton production plays an important role, both as a probe of the Standard Model and as a background for Higgs measurements. As...
Theoretical predictions in hadron physics are often limited by non-perturbative uncertainties in QCD. Nevertheless, several phenomenologically important processes require improved theoretical control. Effective field theories, such as Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) and Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET), provide powerful tools to overcome these limitations by exploiting...
