### Description

Diboson production processes provide good targets for precision measurements at present and future hadronic colliders. We consider $Vh$ production, focusing on the $h \to b\bar b$ decay channel, whose sizeable cross section makes it easily accessible at the LHC. We perform an improved analysis combining the 0-, 1- and 2-lepton channels with a scale-invariant $b$-tagging algorithm that allows us to exploit events with either a boosted Higgs or resolved $b$-jets. This procedure offers a competitive sensitivity to 4 dimension-6 SMEFT operators, $\mathcal{O}_{\varphi q}^{(3)}$, $\mathcal{O}_{\varphi q}^{(1)}$, $\mathcal{O}_{\varphi u}$ and $\mathcal{O}_{\varphi d}$.

At FCC-hh, the $h \to b \bar b$ decay channel is competitive with the cleaner $h\to \gamma\gamma$ channel, provided systematic uncertainties can be kept under good control. In this context, we show that a rapidity binning can significantly reduce correlations, improving the sensitivity to $\mathcal{O}_{\varphi q}^{(1)}$ and $\mathcal{O}_{\varphi u}$.

Finally, we assess the impact of the $Vh$ production channel on aTGC measurements, comparing with the determination at lepton colliders.

Based mostly on 2207.YYZZZ (to be published soon) and partially on 2011.13941 and 2004.06122.
