Top-pair production via gluon fusion in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory

Abstract

We compute the leading corrections to the differential cross section for top-pair production via gluon fusion due to dimension-six operators at leading order in QCD. The Standard Model fields are assumed to couple only weakly to the hypothetical new sector. A systematic approach then suggests treating single insertions of the operator class containing gluon field strength tensors on the same footing as expli\-citly loop suppressed contributions from four-fermion operators. This is in particular the case for the chromomagnetic operator $Q_{(uG)}$ and the purely bosonic operators $Q_{(G)}$ and $Q_{(\phi G)}$. All leading order dimension-six contributions are consequently suppressed with a loop factor $1/16{\pi }^2$.
