Abstract
The robustness of translating effective operator constraints to BSM theories crucially depends on the mass and coupling of BSM particles This is especially relevant for hadron colliders where the partonic centre of mass energy is around the typical energy scales of natural BSM theories The caveats in applying the limits are discussed using Z′ and G′ models illustrating the effects for a large class of models This analysis shows that the applicability of effective operators mainly depends on the ratio of the transfer energy in the events and the mass scale of the full theory Moreover based on these results a method is developed to recast existing experimental limits on fourquark effective operators to the full theory parameter spaceThis article is published under an open access license Please check the Copyright Information section for details of this license and what reuse is permitted If your intended use exceeds what is permitted by the license or if you are unable to locate the licence and reuse information please contact the Rights and Permissions team
