Search for Anomalous Couplings to dimension-6 operators of the SMEFT in W boson pair production

A bottom-up approach is used to look for the effects of beyond-standard model (BSM) physics on the pair production of W bosons while measuring its inclusive cross section with the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment on the LHC at CERN. Preliminary expected limits are set on the strengths of anomalous couplings to the dimension-6 operators of the Standard Model Effective Field theory. There are eight such operators sensitive to this channel in the Warsaw basis. Expected limits are set using the Asimov data set corresponding to 137 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ of simulated integrated luminosity, in preparation for the unblinding of Run II data.
