In this study we compare the sensitivity of cross-section and charge asymmetry measurements to effective operators describing four-fermion interactions and study the limits on the validity of this approach. A fit to a combination of Tevatron and LHC measurements yields stringent limits on the linear combinations $C_1$ and $C_2$ of the four-fermion effective operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-23T16:56:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hadron colliders", "lhc measurements yields stringent limits", "constraints", "effective operators", "charge asymmetry measurements" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4040-x" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151207542P", "inspire": 1411230 } } }
