'''THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Come back next week''' = {{{SMWeinberg}}}: The Standard Model + The Weinberg Operator at NLO in QCD = === Contact Author === Richard Ruiz * Universite Catholique de Louvain * richard.ruiz AT uclouvain.be In collaboration with Benjamin Fuks, Jonas Neundorf, Krisztian Peters, and Matthias Saimpert For additional instructions and examples on using the {{{SMWeinberg}}} UFO libraries, see B. Fuks, et al, arXiv:2012.abcde * If using the {{{SMWeinberg}}} UFO, please cite [ [#Fuks 1] ] along with the appropriate {{{FeynRules}}} and generator papers. == Model Description == === Synopsis === The {{{SMWeinberg}}} UFO libraries allows one to simulate the Weinberg operator in high-energy scattering and resonant decay processes up to next-to-leading order in QCD when used in conjunction with event generators, like {{{MadGraph5_aMC@NLO}}}. === Full Description === This model file works in the context of the Standard Model (SM) Effective Field Theory (SM EFT), where the SM Lagrangian is extended by gauge-invariant operators up to dimension {{{$d=5$}}}. In the standard representation, i.e., the Warsaw basis, the Lagrangian is given by {{{ #!latex \begin{equation} \mathcal{L} = \mathcal{L}_{\rm SM} + \mathcal{L}_{5} + \mathcal{O}(\Lambda^{-1}) \end{equation} }}} The first term is the Standard Model Lagrangian. The second term {{{L5}}} is the Weinberg operator {{{ #!latex \begin{equation} \mathcal{L}_5 = \frac{C_5^{\ell\ell'}}{\Lambda} \big[\Phi\!\cdot\! \overline{L}^c_{\ell }\big] \big[L_{\ell'}\!\!\cdot\!\Phi\big], \end{equation} }}} where {{{Lambda}}} is the EFT cutoff scale [GeV], {{{Cll}}} is the flavor-dependent Wilson coefficient [dimensionless], {{{Phi}}} is the SM Higgs doublet with vev {{{v}}}, and {{{L}}} is the SM lepton doublet of flavor {{{l,l'}}}. A novelty of this implementation is the fact that under certain conditions [ [#Fuks 1] ], the intermediate propagation of light Majorana neutrinos {{{(\nu_l \nu^c_l')}}} can be modeled as an unphysical Majorana neutrino with mass {{{ #!latex \begin{equation} m_{\ell\ell'} = C^{\ell\ell'}_5 v^2 / \Lambda. \end{equation} }}} In practice, the Lagrangian term {{{L5}}} is given by {{{ #!latex \begin{equation} \mathcal{L}_{5} = \frac{1}{2}\overline{N} i\!\not\!\partial N - \frac{1}{2}m_{N} \overline{N}N + \mathcal{L}_{Int.}, \end{equation} }}} which describes a single (unphysical) Majorana neutrino {{{N}}} of mass {{{ #!latex \begin{equation} m_{N} = \left\vert C^{ee}_5+C^{e\mu}_5+C^{e\tau}_5+C^{\mu\mu}_5+C^{\mu\tau}_5+C^{\tau\tau}_5 \right\vert v^2 / \Lambda, \end{equation} }}} that couples to electroweak bosons through the interactions (in standard notation) {{{ #!latex \begin{eqnarray} \mathcal{L}_{Int.} = &-&\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}} W_{\mu}^{+}\sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N}\gamma^{\mu}P_{L}\ell^{-} +{\rm H.c.} \\ &-&\frac{g}{2\cos\theta_W}Z_{\mu}\sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N}\gamma^{\mu}P_{L}\nu_\ell +{\rm H.c.} \\ &-&\frac{g m_N}{2 M_W} h \sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N} P_{L}\nu_\ell +{\rm H.c.} \end{eqnarray} }}} The new external parameters of the {{{SMWeinberg}}} UFO are the six Wilson coefficients and the effective field theory cutoff scale. == QCD Corrections == The above Lagrangian with Goldstone boson couplings and in the Feynman Gauge was implemented into FeynRules 2.3.36. QCD UV renormalization and R2 rational counter terms are extracted using NLOCT 1.02 and FeynArts 3.11. Feynman rules were collected into a single UFO, available below. In the UFO file, five massless quarks are assumed as are zero off-diagonal CKM matrix entries. For additional details, see [ [#Fuks 1] ]. These Feynman rules permit tree-level calculations at LO and NLO in QCD and loop-induced calculations at LO in QCD using MadGraph_aMC@NLO. == Model Files == '''Note:''' The only difference between NLO and LO libraries is the presence of additional (effective) O(a_s) Feynman rules. By definition the NLO libraries can compute tree-level processes at LO precision. * [https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/raw-attachment/wiki/HeavyN/SM_HeavyN_NLO_UFO.tgz SM_HeavyN_NLO_UFO.tgz]: Standalone UFO folder.
