  "abstract": "We present an optimal method for studying new physics effects in high-mass dilepton production at the LHC. This method relies on a reweighting procedure that is precise to the next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics. The only computationally expensive input required is a standard model $\\mathrm{pp\\rightarrow V^{(*)}\\rightarrow\\ell^+\\ell^-}$ sample, with $\\mathrm{V=Z,γ^*}$, generated at the same level of precision and with sufficient statistical coverage of the phase space at high invariant masses. The proposed method is suitable for any $\\mathrm{q\\overline{q}\\ell^+\\ell^-}$ contact-interaction scenario, regardless of the assumed underlying structure and couplings. It is also ideal for searching for medium-to-large-width new neutral resonances produced in the s-channel, as changes to the input values for mass, coupling, or width can be easily implemented using the same initial generated samples.",
