In this work, we present a complete next-to-leading order (NLO) SMEFT electroweak calculation of the rate for $H\\rightarrow \\ell^+\\ell^- Z$ which we combine with the NLO SMEFT result for $Z\\rightarrow\\ell^+\\ell^-$ to obtain the NLO rate for the $H\\rightarrow$ 4 lepton process in the narrow width approximation. The NLO calculation provides sensitivity to a wide range of SMEFT operators that do not contribute to the rate at lowest order and demonstrates the importance of including correlations between the effects of different operators when extracting limits on SMEFT parameters. We show that the extraction of the Higgs tri-linear coupling from the decay $H\\rightarrow \\ell^+ \\ell^- Z, \\ Z\\rightarrow \\ell^+\\ell^-$ in the narrow width approximation strongly depends on the contributions of other operators that first occur at NLO.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.08952v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.08952v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"nlo-smeft-electroweak-corrections-to-higgs","repo_url":"https://gitlab.com/smeft/h-to-l-l-z","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
