schemes and the interplay of SMEFT operators in the Higgs-gluon coupling

S Di Noi, R Gröber, G Heinrich, J Lang, M Vitti - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We calculate the four-top-quark operator contributions to Higgs production via gluon fusion
in the Standard Model effective field theory. The four-top operators enter for the first time via …

Evidence for tWZ production in proton-proton collisions at = 13 TeV in multilepton final states

CMS Collaboration - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.11668, 2023 - arxiv.org
