We investigate the high-$p_T$ tails of the $pp\to \ell \nu$ and $pp \to \ell \ell$ Drell-Yan processes as probes of New Physics in semileptonic interactions with an arbitrary flavor structure. For this purpose, we provide a general decomposition of the $2\to2$ scattering amplitudes in terms of form-factors that we match to specific scenarios, such as the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), including all relevant operators up to dimension-$8$, as well as ultraviolet scenarios giving rise to tree-level exchange of new bosonic mediators with masses at the TeV scale. By using the latest LHC run-II data in the monolepton ($e\nu$, $\mu\nu$, $\tau\nu$) and dilepton ($ee$, $\mu\mu$, $\tau\tau$, $e\mu$, $e\tau$, $\mu\tau$) production channels, we derive constraints on the SMEFT Wilson coefficients for semileptonic four-fermion and dipole operators with the most general flavor structure, as well as on all possible leptoquark models. For the SMEFT, we discuss the range of validity of the EFT description, the relevance of $\mathcal{O}(1/\Lambda^2)$ and $\mathcal{O}(1/\Lambda^4)$ truncations, the impact of $d=8$ operators and the effects of different quark-flavor alignments. Finally, as a highlight, we extract for several New Physics scenarios the combined limits from high-$p_T$ processes, electroweak pole measurements and low-energy flavor data for the $b\to c\tau\nu$ transition, showing the complementarity between these different observables. Our results are compiled in {\tt HighPT}, a package in {\tt Mathematica} which provides a simple way for users to extract the Drell-Yan tails likelihoods for semileptonic effective operators and for leptoquark models.

  1. Nucleon Energy Correlators as a Probe of Light-Quark Dipole Operators at the Electron-Ion Collider

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Nucleon energy correlators access linear effects from light-quark dipole operators via azimuthal asymmetries in the target fragmentation region at the EIC.

  2. PDF effects in high-mass Drell-Yan SMEFT analyses across flavour space

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5

    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.

  3. Renormalization of the SMEFT to Dimension Eight: Fermionic Interactions II

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  4. Current and future constraints on heavy New Physics from $\tau$ weak dipole moments

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Tau weak dipole moments already rank among the leading probes of tau dipole operators and will become dominant at FCC-ee and HL-LHC.

  5. $|V_{cb}|$ determinations from $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)} \ell \bar\nu$ decays within the SM and beyond

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Fits to B to D(*) l nu form factors with BSZ, BGL and HQET yield |V_cb| matching PDG average for BGL but smaller for HQET, while data still allows non-zero new physics contributions.

  6. Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions at Neutrino Experiments and Colliders

    hep-ph 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Collider searches are generally more constraining than neutrino measurements on simplified models of non-standard neutrino interactions, except possibly for muon-philic leptoquarks and certain heavy neutral leptons.

  7. USMEFT as a tool for discovery of universal new physics at high luminosity LHC

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Universal SMEFT fits to pseudo-data from neutral and charged Drell-Yan processes at HL-LHC can detect universal new physics and extract its properties stably across EFT truncation orders.
