Abstract
Interference effects are an important consequence of a correct description in physics theories within and beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. However, many current theoretical descriptions as well as experimental searches neglect such effects, which can, among others, lead to an incorrect description of e.g. kinematical distributions, at least within the context of UV-complete models. In this review, I briefly discuss the current status and most common descriptions as well as existing studies of such effects, where I focus on models with extended scalar searches.
