The integration of heavy scalar fields is discussed in a class of BSM models, containing more that one representation for scalars and with mixing. The interplay between integrating out heavy scalars and the Standard Model decoupling limit…
We perform a systematic analysis of an extension of the Standard Model that includes a complex singlet scalar field and is scale invariant at the tree level. We call such a model the Minimal Scale Invariant extension of the Standard Model…
Effective field theories (EFTs) provide an excellent framework for the search of heavy physics beyond the Standard Model, using the so-called bottom-up and top-down approaches. However, the vastness of possible UV scenarios makes the…
In a large class of models for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), the WIMP mass $M$ lies far above the weak scale $m_W$. This work identifies universal Sudakov-type logarithms $\sim \alpha \log^2 (2\,M/m_W)$ that spoil the naive…
I discuss recent progress on fits to dimension-six operators in the Standard Model Effective Theory (SMEFT). I focus on the top quark sector of the SMEFT, as well as the theoretical advances made in computing SMEFT effects through to…
Precise measurements of SM particles properties at the LHC allows to look for heavy New Physics in the context of an Effective Field Theory (EFT). These searches, however, often rely on kinematic regions where the validity of the EFT may be…
Extensions of the Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics can be probed either through precision measurements of SM observables or via direct searches for processes beyond the SM (BSM). This proceeding focuses on precision measurements in…
We illustrate the application of the recently developed SCET$_{\rm BSM}$ framework in the context of a specific model, in which the Standard Model (SM) is supplemented by a heavy scalar $S$ and three generations of heavy, vector-like quarks…
An extension of the Standard Model is proposed, where the Higgs field is valued in the complex projective plane ${\mathbb{CP}}^2$, rather than ${\mathbb{C}}^2$. Its geometry is consistent with $U(2) \simeq (SU(2) \times U(1))/ \mathbb{Z}_2$…
We present the renormalisation group running of the bosonic operators of the Standard Model effective field theory by the Lepton Number Violating operators (LNVs) at 1-loop order up to $\mathcal{O}(v^4/\Lambda^4)$, with $v \sim 246$ GeV as…
Supersymmetry is one of the best motivated possibilities for new physics at the TeV scale. However, both concrete string constructions and phenomenological considerations suggest the possibility that the physics at the TeV scale could be…
There are two canonical approaches to treating the Standard Model as an Effective Field Theory (EFT): Standard Model EFT (SMEFT), expressed in the electroweak symmetric phase utilizing the Higgs doublet, and Higgs EFT (HEFT), expressed in…
Consider the minimal renormalizable extension of the Standard Model with purely dimensionless couplings, successful electroweak symmetry breaking (via the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism) and a see-saw mechanism for neutrino mass: we will call…
In this paper we present the complete expressions of the lepton and neutron electric dipole moments (EDMs) in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), up to 1-loop and dimension-6 level and including both RG running contributions…
Physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) can be described in a consistent and general way through the Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT). Measurements of model-independent HEFT coefficients allow one to constrain the parameter space of BSM…
We apply the covariant derivative expansion method to integrate out the neutralinos and charginos in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. The results are presented as set of pure bosonic dimension-6 operators in the Standard Model…
