We consider the phenomenological implications of charged scalar extensions of the SM Higgs sector in addition to EFT couplings of this new state to SM matter. We perform a detailed investigation of modifications of loop-induced decays of…
The scattering of dark matter particles off nuclei in direct detection experiments can be described in terms of a multidimensional effective field theory (EFT). A new systematic analysis technique is developed using the EFT approach and…
As the search for observable deviations from the Standard Model of particle physics remains to be of significant interest, effective field theory (EFT) continues to be a popular method to parametrize such effects. In this work, a first-time…
Once a Higgs boson has been discovered, it is also important to know what are its properties, in particular its couplings to the other particles. At the LHC, there will be many observable channels that can be used to measure the relevant…
We demonstrate how masses of new states, beyond direct experimental reach, could nevertheless be extracted in the framework of effective field theory (EFT), given broad assumptions on the underlying UV physics, however not sticking to a…
We present results from SMEFiT3.0, a global SMEFT fit of Higgs, top quark, and diboson production data from the LHC. Our updated analysis includes recent inclusive and differential measurements from the LHC Run II, together with the exact…
In a recent paper we showed that the electroweak chiral Lagrangian at leading order is equivalent to the conventional $\kappa$ formalism used by ATLAS and CMS to test Higgs anomalous couplings. Here we apply this fact to fit the latest…
Interference effects in effective field theory (EFT) analyses can significantly distort sensitivity expectations, leaving subtle yet distinct signatures in the reconstruction of final states crucial for limit setting around Standard Model…
We carry out an Effective Field Theory (EFT) study of the $pp \to \bar{t} t Zh$ process in the $4b + 3 \ell + \ge 2j + \slashed{E}_T$ final state. This process can uniquely probe the $\bar{t} t Zh$ couplings arising from higher dimensional…
A method to quantitatively assess the consistency of power-counting proposals in Effective Field Theories (EFT) which are non-perturbative at leading order is presented. The Renormalisation Group evolution of an observable predicts the…
We make a first matching of the real Higgs triplet extension (RHTE) of the standard model to the Higgs effective field theory (HEFT), which is also known as electroweak chiral Lagrangian (EWChL). In the RHTE, the ratio $\xi$ of two VEVs…
In the light of the mass gap between Standard Model (SM) states and possible new particles, effective field theories are a suitable approach. We take on the non-linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking: the electroweak…
We review the effective field theory (EFT) approach to gravitational dynamics. We focus on extended objects in long-wavelength backgrounds and gravitational wave emission from spinning binary systems. We conclude with an introduction to EFT…
With no direct evidence for new physics at the TeV scale, deviations from the Standard Model (SM) can be explored systematically through Effective Field Theories (EFTs) such as the Standard Model EFT (SMEFT). SMEFT extends the SM by…
