We consider renormalisable models extended in the scalar sector by a generic scalar field in addition to the standard model Higgs boson field, and work out the effective theory for the latter in the decoupling limit. We match the full…
We consider the Standard Model as an effective theory at the weak scale $v$ of a generic new strong interaction that dynamically breaks electroweak symmetry at the energy scale $\Lambda\sim $ (few) TeV. Assuming only the minimal field…

The leading contributions from heavy new physics to Higgs processes can be captured in a model-independent way by dimension-six operators in an effective Lagrangian approach. We present a complete analysis of how these contributions affect…
We consider the Higgs boson decay processes and its production, and provide a parameterisation tailored for testing models of new physics beyond the Standard Model. We also compare our formalism to other existing parameterisations based on…
We study contributions to $b \rightarrow s \gamma$ from anomalous $WW\gamma$ interactions. Although these anomalous interactions are not renormalizable, the contributions are cut-off independent. Using recent results from the CLEO…
The most general chiral Lagrangian for electroweak interactions with the complete set of $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ invariant operators up to dimension four is considered. The two-point and three-point functions with external gauge fields are…

We consider the electroweak production of a top quark in association with a photon at the LHC to probe the electroweak top quark couplings (t$\bar{\text{t}}\gamma$) as well as the triple gauge boson couplings (WW$\gamma$). The study is…
