Effective Quantum Field Theory and SMEFT
Abstract
We introduce the basics of Effective Field Theories, using the Standard Model Effective Field Theory as our central example. The first part of this chapter gives a pedagogical introduction to EFTs - including matching, resummation and the construction of an operator basis - with explicit examples and provides a starting point for newcomers. The second part reviews the current status of SMEFT and collects suitable references for those who want to go deeper.
