Drell Yan production is a sensitive probe of new physics and as such 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. Here we extend these calculations to the Standard Model Effective field theory (SMEFT) and present the NLO QCD and electroweak contributions to the neutral Drell Yan process that are linear in the Wilson coefficients of the SMEFT theory.

The high-energy tails of charged- and neutral-current Drell-Yan processes provide important constraints on the light quark and anti-quark parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the large-x region. At the same time, short-distance new physics effects
such as those encoded by the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) would induce smooth distortions to the same high-energy Drell-Yan tails. In this work, we assess for the first time the interplay between PDFs and EFT effects for high-mass Drell-Yan processes at the LHC and quantify the impact that the consistent joint determination of PDFs and Wilson coefficients has on the bounds derived for the latter. We consider two well-motivated new physics scenarios: $1)$ electroweak oblique corrections $(hat W, hat Y)$ and $2)$ four-fermion interactions potentially related to the LHCb anomalies in $R(K^{(*)})$. We account for available Drell-Yan data, both from unfolded cross sections and from searches, and carry out dedicated projections for the High-Luminosity LHC. Our main finding is that, while the interplay between PDFs and EFT effects remains moderate for the current dataset, it will become a significant challenge for EFT analyses at the HL-LHC.
We report on the implementation of an interface between the SANC generator framework for Drell-Yan hard processes, which includes next-to-leading order electroweak (NLO EW) corrections, and the Herwig++ and Pythia8 QCD parton shower Monte Carlos. A s
pecial aspect of this implementation is that the initial-state shower evolution in both shower generators has been augmented to handle the case of an incoming photon-in-a-proton, diagrams for which appear at the NLO EW level. The difference between shower algorithms leads to residual differences in the relative corrections of 2-3% in the p_T(mu) distributions at p_T(mu)>~50 GeV (where the NLO EW correction itself is of order 10%).
Precision determinations of Standard Model (SM) Electro-Weak (EW) parameters at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are dominated by uncertainties due to Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs). Reweighting and profiling techniques are routinely employed to
treat this. We explore approaches based on combining measurements of charged current and neutral current Drell-Yan (DY) asymmetries to improve PDF uncertainties. We present the results of a numerical analysis performed with the open-source platform xFitter. PDF uncertainties are examined for lepton-charge and forward-backward asymmetries in regions of transverse and invariant masses near the vector-boson peak, based on LHC Run III and HL-LHC luminosity scenarios. We discuss the complementarity of the asymmetries in reducing PDF uncertainties in observables relevant to both SM and Beyond the SM (BSM) physics.
We present the production cross section for a lepton-neutrino pair at the Large Hadron Collider computed at next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (N3LO) in QCD perturbation theory. We compute the partonic coefficient functions of a virtual $W^{pm}$ b
oson at this order. We then use these analytic functions to study the progression of the perturbative series in different observables. In particular, we investigate the impact of the newly obtained corrections on the inclusive production cross section of $W^{pm}$ bosons, as well as on the ratios of the production cross sections for $W^+$, $W^-$ and/or a virtual photon. Finally, we present N3LO predictions for the charge asymmetry at the LHC.
After observing the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, accurate measurements of its properties, which allow us to study the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism, become a high priority for particle physics. The most promising
of extracting the Higgs self-coupling at hadron colliders is by examining the double Higgs production, especially in the $b bar{b} gamma gamma$ channel. In this work, we presented full loop calculation for both SM and New Physics effects of the Higgs pair production to next-to-leading-order (NLO), including loop-induced processes $ggto HH$, $ggto HHg$, and $qg to qHH$. We also included the calculation of the corrections from diagrams with only one QCD coupling in $qg to qHH$, which was neglected in the previous studies. With the latest observed limit on the HH production cross-section, we studied the constraints on the effective Higgs couplings for the LHC at center-of-mass energies of 14 TeV and a provisional 100 TeV proton collider within the Future-Circular-Collider (FCC) project. To obtain results better than using total cross-section alone, we focused on the $b bar{b} gamma gamma$ channel and divided the differential cross-section into low and high bins based on the total invariant mass and $p_{T}$ spectra. The new physics effects are further constrained by including extra kinematic information. However, some degeneracy persists, as shown in previous studies, especially in determining the Higgs trilinear coupling. Our analysis shows that the degeneracy is reduced by including the full NLO corrections.
