In this work, we review the history and current role of global fits in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model~(BSM), including precision tests of the Standard Model (SM). Although BSM global fits were initially focused on minimal…

Effective field theories, like the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), are defined by a chosen field content and a set of symmetries, up to a cut off scale $\Lambda$. Usually, in order to perform calculations, gauge independent…
