abstract

We evaluate the implications of LHC and LEP/SLC measurements for the electro-weak couplings of the top and bottom quarks. We derive global bounds on the Wilson coefficients of ten two-fermion operators in an effective field theory description. The combination of hadron collider data with $Z$-pole measurements is found to yield tight limits on the operator coefficients that modify the left-handed couplings of the bottom and top quark to the $Z$ boson. We also present projections for the high-luminosity phase of the LHC and for future electron-positron colliders. The bounds on the operator coefficients are expected to improve substantially during the remaining LHC programme, by factors of $1$ to $5$ if systematic uncertainties are scaled as statistical ones. The operation of an $e^+e^-$ collider at a center-of-mass energy above the top-quark pair production threshold is expected to further improve the bounds by one to two orders of magnitude. The combination of measurements in $pp$ and $e^+e^-$ collisions allows for a percent-level determination of the top-quark Yukawa coupling, that is robust in a global fit.

  1. Electroweak Scalar Effects Beyond Dimension-6 in SMEFT

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    One-loop dimension-eight SMEFT matching is derived for complex triplet and two-Higgs-doublet scalar extensions, and the dimension-eight terms are shown to matter for GigaZ electroweak precision projections.

  2. Light scalars within the $\mathcal{CP}$-conserving Aligned-two-Higgs-doublet model

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    All seven light-scalar scenarios of the CP-conserving aligned two-Higgs-doublet model contain sizeable parameter regions compatible with current collider and flavour data, with the lightest new scalars bounded by LEP ...

  3. Renormalisation group evolution effects on global SMEFT analyses

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Including RGE effects in a global SMEFT fit improves bounds on poorly constrained four-quark operators but weakens limits on modified Z q qbar couplings by up to a factor of ten.

  4. Counting b-jets at the FCC-ee as a probe of top-quark flavor physics

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    FCC-ee at 240 GeV can probe Λ_eff ∼ 7–13 TeV for scalar, vector and tensor eetu/eetc operators by counting b_P-odd single-b-jet multi-jet events.

  5. Sensitivity to $\mathcal{CP}$-violating effective couplings in the top-Higgs sector

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Combining ttbar H and single-top H production at the LHC can separate the real and imaginary parts of a CP-violating top Yukawa coupling, with projected HL-LHC constraints about twice as strong as current ATLAS bounds.
