Linear Standard Model (SM) extensions, defined as new particles that can couple linearly to SM fields, form a motivated and finite set of simplified models for exploring phenomenology Beyond the SM (BSM). Heavy BSM particles may be…
Precision observables are well known for constraining most of the Beyond Standard Model (BSM) scenarios tightly. We present here a simple and comprehensive fitting framework for various BSM scenarios to these observables. We start with the…
A classically scale invariant (CSI) extension of the standard model (SM) induces radiative electroweak symmetry breaking and predicts anomalously large Higgs self-interactions. Hence, $W_LW_L$ scattering processes can be a good probe of the…
We consider molecules made of two one-dimensional short-range-interacting bosonic atoms. We show that in the process of scattering of these molecules off a narrow barrier, odd incident waves produce \emph{no unbound atoms, even when the…
We present a model-independent anatomy of the $\Delta F=2$ transitions $K^0-\bar K^0$, $B_{s,d}-\bar B_{s,d}$ and $D^0-\bar D^0$ in the context of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We present two master formulae for the…
We investigate model independent top-quark corrections to $\Delta F = 2$ processes for the down-type quarks within the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Dimension-six $\Delta F = 1$ operators contribute to them through…
With the overcrowded sub-6 GHz bands, millimeter wave (mmWave) bands offer a promising alternative for the next generation wireless standard, i.e., 5G. However, the susceptibility of mmWave signals to severe pathloss and shadowing requires…
We use the amplitude formulation of the SMEFT to introduce a spurion analysis of the SMEFT low-energy amplitudes in terms of the Higgs VEV. Each SMEFT contact-term is given as a sum of a few spurion structures, whose number depends on the…
We derive the dimension-8 standard-model effective theory (SMEFT) contact terms relevant for vector-pair production at the LHC and lepton colliders. We first list the relevant dimension-8 massless SMEFT amplitudes, and then obtain the…

Standard Model Neutrino Effective Field Theory (SMNEFT) is an effective theory with Standard Model (SM) gauge-invariant operators constructed only from SM and right-handed neutrino fields. For the full set of dimension-six SMNEFT operators,…
We study the process $pp \to Z(\ell^+ \ell^-)h(b\bar b)$ in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) at high energies using subjet techniques to reconstruct the Higgs boson. We show that at high energies this process probes four…
Higgs Effective Field Theory can be used to study vector-boson elastic scattering at the high energies relevant for the LHC. For most of the parameter space, the scattering is strongly interacting, with the minimal Standard Model being a…

We review the status of calculations in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) beyond leading order (LO). Improving the SMEFT beyond LO allows theoretical errors to be characterized and reduced when considering SMEFT…
Two categories of four-fermion SMEFT operators are semileptonic (two quarks and two leptons) and hadronic (four quarks). At tree level, an operator of a given category contributes only to processes of the same category. However, when the…
We comment on several points concerning unparticles which have been overlooked in the literature. One regards Mack's unitarity constraint lower bounds on CFT operator dimensions,e.g. d\geq 3 for primary, gauge invariant, vector unparticle…
Measurements of the $W^\pm$ mass ($m_W$) provide an important consistency check of the Standard Model (SM) and constrain the possibility of physics beyond the SM. Precision measurements of $m_W$ at hadron colliders are inferred from…
