TL;DR
This paper discusses how effective field theories, particularly dimension-six operators, can be used to identify potential new physics signals in top quark interactions at colliders, constrained by current LHC and Tevatron data.
Contribution
It applies effective field theory to the top sector, analyzing the impact of dimension-six operators on collider observables and constraining new physics parameter space.
Findings
Dimension-six operators affect top production cross-sections and distributions.
Current collider data already restricts the parameter space of new physics models.
Effective field theory provides a model-independent framework for top sector new physics searches.
Abstract
Effective field theories provide a model independent parametrization of the physics beyond the SM if the new degrees of freedom are heavy and complement thus the searches for resonances. In this talk, I will apply this method to the top sector which is expected to play a special role in many BSM scenarios. I will then show the effects of those dimension-six operators on cross-sections and distributions at hadron colliders. Those results together with the present data from the LHC and the Tevatron already constrain the parameter space
