We analyze the scattering of fermions, Higgs and electroweak gauge bosons in order to obtain the partial-wave unitarity bounds on dimension-six effective operators, including those involving fermions. We also quantify whether, at the LHC energies, the dimension-six operators lead to unitarity violation after taking into account the presently available constraints on their Wilson coefficients. Our results show that for most dimension-six operators relevant for the LHC physics there is no unitarity violation at the LHC energies, and consequently, there is no need for the introduction of form factors in the experimental and phenomenological analyses, making them model independent. We also identify two operators for which unitarity violation is still an issue at the LHC Run-II.

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The complete NLO electroweak and QCD corrections to Z and W pole observables in the SMEFT shift fitted Wilson coefficient bounds by 5 to 10 percent and introduce 22 new operator dependencies.

  2. Positivity and partial wave unitarity bounds on ALP theories via amplitude methods

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Complete partial-wave unitarity and positivity bounds are derived for ALP effective interactions up to dimension 8, with new SMEFT positivity constraints as a byproduct.

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LHC data on pp→Vh and pp→VW yield general-flavor SMEFT constraints that will become competitive with flavor tests of the Cabibbo-angle anomaly at the HL-LHC.

    Develops spinor-helicity formalism generalizing partial wave unitarity bounds for multi-particle scattering and spin-2 or higher-spin theories.

  5. Partial-wave unitarity and long-range interactions

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10
