Equation 3 · Part 1 · From Origins to Frontier: A History of Particle Physics Beyond the Standard Model

Symbol O_i^(6)

Oi(6)\mathcal{O}_i^{(6)}
Oi(6)\mathcal{O}_i^{(6)}

What this part means

a dimension-six operator built from Standard Model fields respecting its gauge symmetries.

Its job in the formula

O_i^(6) is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

Here each Oi(6)\mathcal{O}_i^{(6)} is a dimension-six operator built from Standard Model fields respecting its gauge symmetries, and cic_i is a dimensionless Wilson coefficient encoding the strength and structure of whatever heavy new physics generated it.

The passage around this formula

Here each Oi(6)\mathcal{O}_i^{(6)} is a dimension-six operator built from Standard Model fields respecting its gauge symmetries, and cic_i is a dimensionless Wilson coefficient encoding the strength and structure of whatever heavy new physics generated it. This is not a discovery claim; it is a bookkeeping device,…
