The gauge-invariant operators up to dimension six in the low-energy effective field theory below the electroweak scale are classified. There are 70 Hermitian dimension-five and 3631 Hermitian dimension-six operators that conserve baryon and…
We develop a formalism to study the implications of causality on OPE coefficients in conformal field theories with large central charge and a sparse spectrum of higher spin operators. The formalism has the interpretation of a new conformal…
The existence of a mass gap between the Standard Model (SM) and possible new states encourages us to use effective field theories. Here we follow the non-linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking: the electroweak effective…
Baryon number-violating processes arise generically in many extensions of the Standard Model, with Grand Unified Theories providing the most compelling realizations. Ongoing experimental searches at JUNO, Hyper-K, and DUNE motivate a more…
The electroweak sector of the Standard Model can be formulated in a way similar to Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), but extended by a singlet scalar. The resulting effective field theory (EFT) is called Higgs-Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian…
We study the indirect effects of new physics on the phenomenology of the recently discovered "Higgs-like" particle. In a model independent framework these effects can be parametrized in terms of an effective Lagrangian at the electroweak…

We investigate the production of (longitudinal) $Z$-boson pairs in gluon fusion as a probe of anomalous Higgs couplings. Of particular interest is the kinematic region of large center-of-mass energy, where the Higgs-boson is highly…

We obtain the complete operator bases at mass dimensions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 for the low energy effective field theory (LEFT), which parametrize various physics effects between the QCD scale and the electroweak scale. The independence of the…
I present a unified approach to calculating the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) soft and virtual QCD corrections to cross sections for electroweak, Higgs, QCD, and SUSY processes. I derive master formulas that can be used for any of…
We write down a geometric realization of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) extended by $n_f$ flavours of light sterile neutrinos, a so-called geo$\nu$SMEFT. As with the geoSMEFT introduced by Helset, Martin and Trott, we…
The Higgs low-energy theorem gives a simple and elegant way to estimate the couplings of the Higgs boson to massless gluons and photons induced by loops of heavy particles. We extend this theorem to take into account possible nonlinear…
