Title: Matching EFT to LHC

Abstract: Experimental constraints on EFT couplings must include a quantitative estimate of the uncertainties due to neglected higher-dimension interactions. This is particularly challenging at the LHC, where the high parton energies and limited precision mean that the searches may be sensitive to energy scales where the EFT breaks down. This talk will describe a search methodology that incorporates the uncertainties due to higher dimension operators as a function of an additional scale M, the kinematic scale where higher derivative terms become as important as the leading EFT interactions. The uncertainty in the theory predictions at the scale M is parameterized by nuisance parameters, which can be treated using standard experimental methods. A number of phenomenological studies will be presented to demonstrate that the method is practical and gives results that are robust and conservative when compared to  searches for complete UV models.
