Description
We discuss several opportunities for probing new physics in the SMEFT framework using LHC Drell-Yan data. We consider the forward-backward asymmetry, the lepton-pair transverse momentum, and the Collins-Soper angles, and show that this full spectrum of measurements can probe unexplored sectors of the SMEFT and can help distinguish between ultraviolet completions of the SMEFT. We present several challenges that arise in the comparison of theory with experimental data.
