The Drell-Yan processes pp->ll and pp->l nu at high transverse momentum can provide important probes of semileptonic transitions that are complementary to low-energy flavor physics observables. We parametrize possible New Physics contributions to these processes in terms of form-factors, and derive the corresponding bounds by recasting the latest ATLAS and CMS run 2 searches for mono- and di-lepton resonances. Moreover, we study the validity limit of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) in this regime by comparing the limits obtained for specific tree-level mediators and their EFT equivalent. Both analyses are performed using HighPT, a new Mathematica package for automatic extraction of high-pT bounds.
