In this work, we investigate this effect in a two-black-hole Majumdar-Papapetrou spacetime modified by four-derivative EFT correction terms. Our analysis shows that while the scaling exponents, which measure the strength of the tidal forces near the horizon, remain unchanged under EFT corrections in D = 4, they decrease for higher dimensions, enhancing the near-horizon tidal forces. However, even in the presence of EFT corrections, these scaling exponents stay well behaved and no such cases arise where the two-derivative contributions vanish and only the higherderivative terms contribute. We find an expression for the EFT corrections to the scaling exponents till D ≤ 10 and demonstrate that the metric corrections can be structured such that only the near-horizon AdS<inf>2</inf> throat undergoes angle-dependent modifications, while the transverse S^D−2 sector remains unaffected.falseArticle24700029084043-084043-1016 October 20250WOS:001597175300004
