# How to show the oblique parameters S, T, and U are coefficients of d=6 operators

In Morii, Lim, Mukherjee, The Physics of the Standard Model and Beyond. 2004, ch. 8, they claim that the Peskin–Takeuchi oblique parameters S, T and U are in fact Wilson coefficients of certain dimension-6 operators. On page 212, they claim that the T parameter is described by $$O_T=(\phi^\dagger D_\mu \phi)\phi^\dagger D^\mu \phi)-\frac{1}{3}(\phi^\dagger D_\mu D^\mu\phi)(\phi^\dagger\phi)\,,$$ and the S parameter by $$O_S=[\phi^\dagger(F_{\mu\nu}^i\sigma^i)\phi]B^{\mu\nu}\,,$$ where $\phi$ is the Higgs doublet, $F_{\mu\nu}^i$ and $\sigma^i$ are the SU(2) weak isospin field strength and sigma matrices respectively, and $B^{\mu\nu}$ is the U(1) weak hypercharge field strength.

On the next page (p. 213), problem 8.6 asks us to show that these are the operators.

How do I precisely show that these higher-dimension operators give precisely the Peskin-Takeuchi parameters?

This is all explained (and much more) here. Look at eq.(89) and compare with eqs.(34) & (40). – Mistake Ink Aug 19 '12 at 12:13
Interested to know if you were able to work it out from there? – Mistake Ink Aug 19 '12 at 22:53
Thanks for the reference; I haven't looked at it carefully enough to see if I could work it out. In any case, the paper seems to be important enough to read through. – QuantumDot Aug 20 '12 at 0:32
