SMEFT D6 ComparisonΒΆ
The Recola2 model file including the dimension-six operators in the Warsaw basis has been cross-checked against the SMEFTsim_A_U35_MwScheme_UFO_v2_1 UFO model file for the subset of operators that only involve gauge bosons and/or scalars. The numerical results corresponding to the former model have been obtained with the Recola2 matrix-element provider, while Madgraph5_aMC@NLO was used for the latter model.

The full LHE file can be found here
.
As can be seen from the LHE file, the only differences between the predictions
of the two models are some interference matrix-elements that however correspond to
numerical zeros.
This comparison as performed in [M+19].
