In this project we will use the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) to analyse the LHC Run 3 data and confront them with theoretical predictions in the Higgs, electroweak and top sectors. We shall perform global fits in the SMEFT framework with the SFitter tool, which allows a comprehensive treatment of uncertainties and has the flexibility to incorporate a wide range of generic LHC measurements. The global fit of the upcoming LHC data will include new sets of measurements, in particular kinematic distributions, and a refined treatment of uncertainties in the Bayesian framework. A particular focus will be on the interplay between the SMEFT description and specific models, to explore the complementarity of SMEFT and model-specific searches for New Physics.
