SMEFT analysis with LHeC, FCC-eh, and EIC DIS pseudodata
arXiv:2307.09459
Abstract
In this study, we examine the possibilities opened by upcoming high-energy deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments to investigate new physics within the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Specifically, we investigate the beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) potential of the Large Hadron-electron Collider (LHeC) and the Future Circular lepton-hadron Collider (FCC-eh), and we improve previous simulations of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) by incorporating -boson vertex corrections. Our fits, performed using DIS pseudodata, reveal that the LHeC and the FCC-eh can play a crucial role in resolving degeneracies observed in the parameter space of Wilson coefficients in global fits using the Higgs, diboson, electroweak, and top data. This emphasizes the significance of precision DIS measurements in advancing our understanding of new physics.
