A microscopic description of nuclei is important to understand the nuclear shell-model from fundamental principles. This is difficult to achieve for more than the lightest nuclei without an effective approximation scheme. The purpose of…
We present a simple introduction to the techniques of effective field theory (EFT) and their application to QCD. For problems with more than one energy scale, the EFT approach is a useful alternative to more traditional model-building…

Effective field theory (EFT) approaches are widely used at the LHC, such that it is important to study their validity, and ease of matching to specific new physics models. In this paper, we consider an extension of the SM in which a top…
