The goal is to derive a global likelihood for dimension-6 QQLL 4-fermion operators in the SMEFT using publicly available Run-1 and Run-2 LHC data on Drell-Yan l+l- and l \nu differential cross-sections, where l = e,\mu,\tau. The number of final states we will analyze depends on the available workforce, time, computing power - the project can be easily scaled down or extended.

In some of these case, unfolded cross sections are given, so we only need to calculate these cross sections in the SMEFT. In other case, (all MET and tau tau channels so far) only binned event distributions are given thus Delphes level simulations will be necessary.
