Description
While the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been successful in describing known fundamental particles and interactions, it is incomplete. The amount of charge-parity (CP) violation predicted within the SM is insufficient to explain the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. Additionally, possible deviations in the self-interactions of electroweak bosons motivate the exploration of theoretical frameworks that extend the SM. Effective Field Theories (EFTs) provide model-independent approaches to capture effects of new physics by adding higher-dimensional operators to the SM Lagrangian. This talk will explore using data collected at Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV to explore observables sensitive to effects of CP-odd EFT operators and study potential deviations from SM predictions using same-sign WW vector boson scattering.
