Abstract

The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) is a widely utilized framework for exploring new physics effects in a model-independent manner. In previous studies, Drell-Yan collider data has emerged as a promising signature due to its energy enhancement relative to Standard Model predictions. We present recent works, extending this approach by also considering the "missing energy + jet" signature, which can constrain related dineutrino couplings and similarly benefits from energy enhancement. The combination of these observables allows for constraining a broader selection of operators and helps resolve flat directions in a global analysis. Overall, the bounds probe the multi-TeV range, with the strongest reaching up to 10 TeV for four-fermion interactions and 7 TeV for gluonic dipole interactions. Furthermore, we find that low energy flavor observables improve limits by up to a factor of three for dipole operators. We also estimate sensitivities to new physics at future hadron colliders including the √(s) = 27 TeV HE-LHC and the √(s) = 100 TeV FCC-hh.
