Tracing the bottom electroweak dipole operators at future lepton colliders

Abstract

While often omitted in the SMEFT analyses of electroweak measurements, the electroweak dipole operators of the bottom quark have been found to be important in some cases and are also related to processes involving the top quark. In this paper, we further investigate their effects, focusing on the measurements of the $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to b\bar{b}$ process at a future lepton collider. Their linear contributions are suppressed by the bottom mass due to the helicity flip in the interference term with the SM amplitude, leading to a nontrivial interplay between the linear and the quadratic contributions. With two runs at the Z-pole and 240 GeV, the effects of CP-even dipole coefficients can be well separated from the modifications of the SM $Zb\bar{b}$ couplings, while an additional run (e.g. at 360 GeV) is useful for lifting a nontrivial second best-fit point due to the quadratic contributions.
