# Higgs EFT

Project Description

→ Comparisons of SMEFTsim and SMEFTatNLO running both at LO to check the consistency Especially for ttH and ZH→ the operators affecting these production channels will appear in ggZH. The definition of operators in the NLO model can be found in http://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/SMEFTatNLO/definitions.pdf and in page 49 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.06492.pdf for the LO model. The main difference in the implementation is for complex operators, in SMEFT LO there is a phase and an absolute value whereas only one real value can be modified in the NLO model.

→ Study of ggH and ggZH at NLO. Similar studies published:

 https://arxiv.org/pdf/1601.08193.pdf (ggZH, limited set of operators studied)
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.00460.pdf (ggH)

For the generation of the interference term we need to interfere tree level (from the EFT) with loop-induced processes (from the SM). Madgraph is not able to do it for the official versions, but some documentation on how to do it has been gathered:

It can be also done using the reweighting module. Link to the STXT Rivet routine:

 https://gitlab.cern.ch/LHCHIGGSXS/LHCHXSWG2/STXS/Classification

that also provides histograms of common kinematic variables.
