Moments for positivity: using Drell-Yan data to test positivity bounds and reverse-engineer new physics

Abstract Moments of the leptonic angular distribution in the Drell-Yan process have recently been shown to be sensitive probes of a specific class of dimension-8, four-fermion operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, involving a pair of quarks and leptons. The same operators are also...
