EFTs and bases

New EFTs and bases can be defined by placing the definition files into the public repository (http://github.com/wcxf/wcxf-bases). This page lists the currently defined EFTs and bases. For each basis, a PDF file listing all the operators is linked.

EFT SMEFT

Standard Model Effective Field Theory with linearly realized electroweak symmetry breaking.

Basis Higgs-Warsaw up

This is a mixture between the Higgs basis as defined e.g. in arXiv:1610.07922 and the Warsaw up basis. All bosonic operators involving at least one Higgs field as well as the operators of type $\psi^2 \phi^2 D$ are taken from the Higgs basis (with dimensionful Wilson coefficients rather than normalizing by $1/v^2$), while all other operators (in particular $\psi^2\phi^3$ and four-fermion operators) are defined as in the Warsaw up basis.

Basis Warsaw

Basis suggested by Grzadkowski, Iskrzyński, Misiak, and Rosiek (arXiv:1008.4884v3). At variance with their definition, the Wilson coefficients are defined to be dimensionful, such that $\mathcal L=\sum _i C_i O_i$. The set of redundant operators coincides with the choice of DSixTools (arXiv:1704.04504). The weak basis for the fermion fields is chosen such that the running dimension-6 mass matrices of charged leptons and down-type quarks are diagonal at the scale where the coefficient values are specified, while up-type quark singlet field is rotated to diagonalise the running dimension-6 up-type quark mass matrix “from the right”.

Basis Warsaw mass

Variant of the Warsaw basis where all fermion fields are rotated such as to make their mass matrices diagonal. This rotation breaks $SU(2)_L$ invariance and is ambiguous for some operators. We adhere to the choice of arXiv:1704.03888 by Dedes, Materkowska, Paraskevas, Rosiek, and Suxho, which coincides with the “tilded” basis in arXiv:1512.02830 by Aebischer, Crivellin, Fael, and Greub.

Basis Warsaw up

Variant of the Warsaw basis where the up-type quark mass matrix (rather than the down-type quark) is diagonal.
