Probing EFT breakdown in the tails of $$W^+ W^-$$ observables

Abstract We test clipping effective field theory (EFT) simulations as a method of ensuring EFT validity. The procedure imposes that, at the level of the simulation, the invariant mass of a $$W^+W^-$$ W + W - pair $$M_{WW}$$ M WW is less than the new physics scale $$\Lambda $$ Λ ....
