== Description of the model:
This is a Contact Interaction model with b-b-l-l Contact-Interaction terms, including interference with the SM. The effective Lagrangian of the model is described by:

{{{ 
#!latex 
\begin{align*}
\mathcal{L}_{eff} = \frac{g^2}{\Lambda^2}\sum_{i,j=L,R} \eta_{ij}(\bar{b}_{i} \gamma_{\mu} b_{i}) (\bar{\ell}_{j} \gamma^{\mu} \ell_{j}),
\end{align*}
}}} 
where here $\ell=e,\mu$, $\Lambda$ is the NP scale and we have summed over all possible chirality structures with $\eta_{ij}=\pm1$, which will be useful for accounting for constructive/destructive interference with the SM Drell-Yan process $pp\to Z/\gamma^*\to\ell^+\ell^- + X$.

The behavior of the cross section for the corresponding $p p \to \ell^+ \ell^- + X$ processes can be parametrized by the contribution of three terms, which depend on the di-lepton invariant mass $m_{\ell \ell}$:

{{{ 
#!latex 
\begin{align*}
\sigma(m_{\ell \ell})=\sigma^{SM}(m_{\ell \ell}) + \sigma^{NP}(g,\Lambda,m_{\ell \ell}) ~,
\end{align*}
}}} 

where $\sigma^{SM}$ is the pure SM term and $\sigma^{NP}(\Lambda,m_{\ell \ell})$ contain only the NP contributions: 
{{{ 
#!latex 
\begin{align*}
\sigma^{NP}(g,\Lambda,m_{\ell \ell})=\frac{g^2}{\Lambda^2} \cdot \sigma^{SM \times NP}(m_{\ell \ell}) + \frac{g^4}{\Lambda^4} \cdot \sigma^{NP \times NP}(m_{\ell \ell}) ~,
\end{align*}
}}}

Where LambdaS is the scale of new physics in GeV, Celbbll is the bbee coupling with left-left chirality, etc. Note especially that the sign of Celbbll / Celbblr / Celbbrr / Celbbrl determines if the interference with the SM is constructive or destructive.
