Electroweak legacy of the LHC Run II


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We present a comprehensive study of the electroweak interactions using the available Higgs and electroweak diboson production results from LHC Runs 1 and 2 as well as the electroweak precision data, in terms of the dimension-six operators. Under the assumption that no new tree level sources of flavor violation nor violation of universality of the weak current is introduced, the analysis involves 21 operators. We assess the impact of the data on kinematic distributions for the Higgs production at the LHC by comparing the results obtained including the simplified template cross section data with those in which only total Higgs signal strengths are considered. We also compare the results obtained when including the dimension-six anomalous contributions to order $1/Lambda^2$ and to order $1/Lambda^4$. As an illustration of the LHC potential to indirectly learn about specific forms of new physics, we adapt the analysis to constrain the parameter space for a few simple extensions of the standard model which generate a subset of the dimension-six operators at tree level.
