Despite the remarkable success of the Standard Model in describing fundamental interactions, unresolved phenomena such as dark matter, dark energy, and matter-antimatter asymmetry strongly suggest the existence of physics beyond the…
Extensions of the Standard Model which involve a new scale, $\Lambda$, may, for energies sufficiently small compared to this new scale, be expressed in terms of operators with energy dimension greater than four. The coefficients of just…

Abst\-ract: A hierarchy of effective three-dimensional theories of finite temperature electroweak matter is studied. First an integration over non-static modes leads to an effective theory containing a gauge field $A_{i}^{a}$, an adjoint…
Effective field theory is an effective approach to parameterizing effects of high energy scale physics in low energy measurements. The two popular frameworks for physics beyond the standard model are the so-called standard model effective…
Non-decoupling effects of heavy scalars and vector fields play an important role in the indirect search of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics at the LHC. By exploiting some new differential equations for the 1-PI amplitudes, we show…
The scalar singlet model extends the Standard Model with the addition of a new gauge singlet scalar. We re-examine the limits on the new scalar from oblique parameter fits and from a global fit to precision electroweak observables and…
At the LHC, an effective theory of the Higgs sector allows us to analyze kinematic distributions in addition to inclusive rates, although there is no clear hierarchy of scales. We systematically analyze how well dimension-6 operators…
