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,…

Experiments have confirmed the presence of a mass gap between the Standard Model and potential New Physics. Consequently, the exploration of effective field theories to detect signals indicative of Physics Beyond the Standard Model is of…
At present, there are several measurements of $B$ decays that exhibit discrepancies with the predictions of the Standard Model, and suggest the presence of new physics in $b\to s$ and $b \to c(u)$ quark level transitions. Motivated by the…
This is a report of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and Beyond the Standard Model Working Group which was prepared for the Division of Particles and Fields Committee for Long Term Planning. We study the phenomenology of electroweak…
Effective Field Theory (EFT) provides a powerful framework that exploits a separation of scales in physical systems to perform systematically improvable, model-independent calculations. Particularly interesting are few-body systems with…
In particle physics, the modern view is to categorize things in terms of effective field theories (EFTs). Above the weak scale, we have the SMEFT, formed when the heavy new physics (NP) is integrated out, and for which the Standard Model…
Standard perturbation theory (SPT) for large-scale matter inhomogeneities is unsatisfactory for at least three reasons: there is no clear expansion parameter since the density contrast is not small on all scales; it does not fully account…
Effective Field Theory (EFT) extensions of the Standard Model are tools to compute observables $\big(e.g.$ cross sections with partonic center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{\hat{s}}\,\big)$ as a systematically improvable expansion suppressed by a…
It is well known that the electroweak phase transition (EWPhT) in extensions of the Standard Model with one real scalar singlet can be first-order for realistic values of the Higgs mass. We revisit this scenario with the most general…

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…

We employ a geometric framework to compute the leading high-energy behaviour of tree-level scattering amplitudes in theories containing $N$ Nambu-Goldstone bosons and a single Higgs-like scalar with an arbitrary potential $V$. Using these…
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, comprised of the unified electro-weak (EW) and Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) theories, accurately explains almost all experimental results related to the micro-world, and has made a number of…
Employing the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, we perform a detailed reinterpretation of measurements of the Weinberg angle in dilepton production as a search for new-physics effects. We truncate our signal prediction…
In order to extend the Standard Model to TeV scale energies one must address two basic questions: (1) What is the complete description of the effective theory of fundamental particles at and below the electroweak scale? and (2) What is the…

We analyzed the results for finite nuclei and infinite nuclear and neutron matter using the standard $\sigma-\omega$ model and with the effective field theory. For the first time, we have shown here quantitatively that the inclusion of…
Global analyses in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework serve as a tool to probe potential directions of new physics. To break degeneracies between the Wilson coefficients of the SMEFT, it is essential to combine…
