Bayesian model selection over SMEFT operator subsets using a genetic algorithm and BIC approximation is applied to electroweak, Higgs, top and diboson data, finding no evidence for new physics and improved Wilson coefficient posteriors compared to global fits.

abstract
We identify a novel next-to-leading order renormalization effect in the dimension-six SMEFT with direct phenomenological impact. The Higgs-Yukawa operator that modifies the top-Higgs coupling $\kappa_t$ induces a shift in the $ W $ mass at two-loop order through a large anomalous dimension, rendering electroweak precision observables a powerful indirect probe of $\kappa_t$. We show that this effect is essential for the consistent interpretation of data from future Tera-$Z$ and Giga-$W$ factories such as FCC-ee. The effect is realized in a simple renormalizable two-Higgs doublet model.
