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 emission would alter the helicity structure and is part of the higher order contribution.
