Description
Several key observables of the high-precision physics program at
future lepton colliders will critically depend on the knowledge of the machine absolute luminosity. The determination of the luminosity relies on the knowledge of some process which is in principle not affected by unknown physics, so that its cross section can be computed within a well-established theory, like the Standard Model. Quantifying possible New Physics (NP) effects on such processes is therefore crucial. We present an exploratory investigation on possible NP contamination on reference processes and possible strategies to remove the uncertainties originating from such contamination.
