Abstract

Wilson coefficients in dimension-six effective field theory are constrained in a combined fit to several ATLAS measurements. These inputs probe Higgs-boson processes across multiple production and decay modes, di-Higgs signatures in the bb¯γγ$$ b\overline{b}\gamma \gamma $$ and bb¯ττ$$ b\overline{b}\tau \tau $$ final states, WW and WZ diboson signatures, electroweak Zjj final states, high-mass Drell–Yan interactions, and tt¯$$ t\overline{t} $$ events in both resolved and boosted topologies. Precision electroweak observables from LEP, SLD, and ATLAS are also included. A total of 48 parameters, including individual Wilson coefficients in the Warsaw basis and linear combinations of Wilson coefficients, are constrained simultaneously. Constraints on two-Higgs-doublet models and heavy-vector-boson models are also obtained by matching a relevant sub-set of the results with their parameters. This combined fit provides the most comprehensive effective field theory interpretation of experimental data by the ATLAS Collaboration to date. No significant deviations from the Standard Model are observed.
