Description
The impact of several dimension-six operators of the standard
model effective field theory relevant for vector-boson fusion and associated Higgs boson production at the LHC is investigated at next-to-leading order accuracy in QCD, including matching to parton showers. The importance of the subsequent reduction of the theoretical uncertainties in improving the possible discrimination between effective field theory and standard model results is shown. We demonstrate that the range of the Wilson coefficient values allowed by a global fit to LEP and LHC Run~I data can be further constrained by LHC Run~II future results.
