Description

A very important and promizing direction of reasearch is finding better ways of testing Standard Model and New Physics using Effective Field Theory approach and exploiting precision measurements. In this framework, Electroweak Triple Gauge Couplings play a special role, particularly within diboson production processes. However, there is often a cancellation in the inclusive measurements of the formally leading contribution to the interference between the SM amplitude and the contribution of irrelevant operators in the EFT. In this talk (based on JHEP10 (2017) 027) I will show that this suppression can be overcome by considering various differential distributions, that significantly improve the sensitivity to BSM effects and the accuracy in their measurements.
