Open AccessA Monte Carlo global analysis of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory: the top quark sector
We present a novel framework for carrying out global analyses of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) at dimension-six: SMEFiT. This approach is based on the Monte Carlo replica method for derivin...
