Abstract
We study the potential of future Parity-Violating Electron Scattering (PVES) datato probe the parameter space of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT).We contrast the constraints derived from Drell-Yan data taken at the Large HadronCollider (LHC) with projections of the planned PVES experiments SoLID and P2. Weshow that the PVES data can complement the bounds set by the LHC data in thedimension-6 operator space since it probes different combinations of operators thanDrell-Yan. The lower characteristic energy of P2 and SoLID also helps disentangleeffects of dimension-6 and dimension-8 operators that are difficult to resolve with LHCDrell-Yan data alone.
