 Investigate the impact of higher order corrections or additional radiation on high energy 2->2 processes involving dimension 6 EFT operators that have been shown not to interfere at leading order.
 A simple test case may be  $W^+ W^-$  production at a lepton collider. Here the EW corrections including dimension 6 operators have not been calculated but an extra photon (or any extra vector) emission would alter the helicity structure and is part of the higher order contribution.
+We focus on the operator that generates transverse helicity, schematically O_{3W}= W_{\mu\nu}^3

+To Do:
+) Read References (in particular Dixon&Shadmi)
+) Compute Amplitude for e^+ e^- -> W^+ W^- and e^+ e^- -> W^+ W^- \gamma or Z in the SM first and with the above dimension-6 operator
+) Expand in m_W/Energy and in g^'->0 to have simpler expressions
+) Check with MG5 the analog of the angular distributions of Dixon/Shadmi
+) Asses, as function of the collision energy, luminosity and systematic errors, wheter the best reach on c_{3W} is given by processes with 3 final states or two
+Further Questions
+Also loop effects generate interference. Yet this is small compared with the tree-level SM^2 contribution to the same amplitude. Instead for real emission both the leading SM^2 and interference are suppressed. Do Sudakov effects play a role here? can they enhance virtual loops?
