The top quark legacy of the LHC Run II for PDF and SMEFT analyses
read the original abstract
We assess the impact of top quark production at the LHC on global analyses of parton distributions (PDFs) and of Wilson coefficients in the SMEFT, both separately and in the framework of a joint interpretation. We consider the broadest top quark dataset to date containing all available measurements based on the full Run II luminosity. First, we determine the constraints that this dataset provides on the large-x gluon PDF and study its consistency with other gluon-sensitive measurements. Second, we carry out a SMEFT interpretation of the same dataset using state-of-the-art SM and EFT theory calculations, resulting in bounds on 25 Wilson coefficients modifying top quark interactions. Subsequently, we integrate the two analyses within the SIMUnet approach to realise a simultaneous determination of the SMEFT PDFs and the EFT coefficients and identify regions in the parameter space where their interplay is most phenomenologically relevant. We also demonstrate how to separate eventual BSM signals from QCD effects in the interpretation of top quark measurements at the LHC.

PDF effects in high-mass Drell-Yan SMEFT analyses across flavour space
PDF profiling broadens high-mass Drell-Yan SMEFT limits most for first-generation quark operators and far less for heavier flavours, both with current CMS data and at the HL-LHC.

Renormalization of the SMEFT to Dimension Eight: Fermionic Interactions II
Computes one-loop mixing of bosonic and two-fermion interactions into two-fermion operators in dim-8 SMEFT, leaving only four-fermion to two-fermion mixing to finish the renormalization program.
