Abstract

Electrically neutral spin-1/2 fermions can interact via Yukawa or gauge couplings with electrically charged particles, leading to quantum-induced couplings between the neutral fermion and the photon. In this paper, we present general expressions for the diagonal and transition electromagnetic moments of Dirac and Majorana spin-1/2 fermions generated at the one-loop level. We also briefly discuss the implications of these results for several neutral spin-1/2 fermions of phenomenological interest, such as neutral components of $SU(2)_L$ multiplets (which are potential candidates for dark matter) or Standard Model neutrinos.

Resumming transverse observables for NNLO+PS matching in GENEVA

We study the use of higher-order resummation for transverse observables to achieve NNLO+PS matching within the GENEVA framework. In particular, we embed $q_T$ resummation for colour-singlet production at N$^3$LL obtained via soft-collinear effective theory and implemented in the library SCETlib within GENEVA. We also study for the first time the use of the generalised $N$-jettiness variable in parton shower matching, and achieve the resummation of the one-jettiness defined with transverse measures up to NLL$'$ accuracy. As a case study, we use these resummed calculations to construct a GENEVA NNLO+PS generator for Higgs boson production in heavy-quark annihilation (with beauty or charm-quarks in the initial state). The use of transverse measures facilitates the matching to showers ordered in transverse momentum, and opens the door to possible future extensions of this approach to the production of colour singlets in association with final-state jets.

Matching HEFT and SMEFT in double and triple Higgs production from weak boson fusion

In this work we study the matching between the two most popular effective field theories for beyond standard model Higgs physics, SMEFT and HEFT. To perform this matching we follow the approach of identifying the corresponding scattering amplitudes for physical processes in both theories, instead of the most usual approach of relating the corresponding effective Lagrangians or effective actions. In this work we focus on the physical processes of double and triple Higgs production from weak boson fusion, in particular, $WW \to HH$, $ZZ \to HH$, $WW \to HHH$ and $ZZ \to HHH$ and complement them with the elastic scattering $HH \to HH$. We present here the analytical solution to this matching in terms of relations among the coefficients in both theories and comment on the most relevant phenomenological implications of such relations for collider physics.
