Description

We calculate the total and partial inclusive Higgs widths at leading order in the
Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We report results incorporating SMEFT
corrections for two and four body Higgs decays through vector currents in this limit. The
narrow width approximation is avoided and all phase space integrals are directly evaluated.
We explain why the narrow width approximation fails more significantly in the SMEFT
compared to the SM, despite the narrowness of the observed SU(2) × U(1) bosons in both
theories.
