If the Standard Model is understood as the first term of an effective field theory, the anomaly-cancellation conditions have to be worked out and fulfilled order by order in the effective field-theory expansion. We bring attention to this…
We introduce a formalism for describing four-dimensional scattering amplitudes for particles of any mass and spin. This naturally extends the familiar spinor-helicity formalism for massless particles to one where these variables carry an…
By analogy with the formula for the massless string disk amplitudes, we define massive field-theory tree amplitudes and conjecture that the BRST cohomology structure of pure spinor superspace fixes their form. We give evidence by deriving…
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…
