abstract

Vetoing energetic jet activity is a crucial tool for suppressing backgrounds and enabling new physics searches at the LHC, but the introduction of a veto scale can introduce large logarithms that may need to be resummed. We present an implementation of jet-veto resummation for color-singlet processes at the level of N$^3$LL$_\text{p}$ matched to fixed-order NNLO predictions. Our public code MCFM allows for predictions of a single boson, such as $Z/\gamma^*$, $W^{\pm}$ or $H$, or with a pair of vector bosons, such as $W^+W^-$, $W^{\pm} Z$ or $ZZ$. The implementation relies on recent calculations of the soft and beam functions in the presence of a jet veto over all rapidities, with jets defined using a sequential recombination algorithm with jet radius $R$. However one of the ingredients that is required to reach full N$^3$LL accuracy is only known approximately, hence N$^3$LL$_\text{p}$. We describe in detail our formalism and compare with previous public codes that operate at the level of NNLL. Our higher-order predictions improve significantly upon NNLL calculations by reducing theoretical uncertainties. We demonstrate this by comparing our predictions with ATLAS and CMS results.

Dimension-8 operators in $W^+W^-$ production via gluon fusion

hep-ph · 2024-12-20 · conditional · novelty 7.0

The full set of CP-even dimension-8 SMEFT amplitudes for gluon-fusion W+W- production is computed; their SM interference is shown to be negligible under EFT hierarchy, and new operator constraints are derived.
