A bstractThe invariance of physical observables under redefinitions of the quantum fields is a well-known and important property of quantum field theory. We study perturbative field redefinitions in
Functional prescription for EFT matching

• 2020
We simplify the one-loop functional matching formalism to develop a streamlined prescription. The functional approach is conceptually appealing: all calculations are performed within the UV theory at

A bstractIn effective quantum field theories, higher dimensional operators can affect the canonical normalization of kinetic terms at tree level. These contributions for scalars and gauge bosons
Effective Theories for Quark Flavour Physics 1
The purpose of these lectures is to provide the reader with an idea of how we can probe New Physics with quark flavour observables using effective theory techniques. After giving a concise review of

A bstractAssuming that new physics effects are parametrized by the Standard-Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) written in a complete basis of up to dimension-6 operators, we calculate the
Studies of dimension-six EFT effects in vector boson scattering
We discuss the implications of dimension-six operators of the effective field theory framework in the study of vector boson scattering in the $$pp \rightarrow Z Z j j$$pp→ZZjj channel. We show that
Is SMEFT enough?
• Physics
• 2020
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
Scalar and fermion on-shell amplitudes in generalized Higgs effective field theory
• Physics
Physical Review D
• 2021
Beyond standard model (BSM) particles should be included in effective field theory in order to compute the scattering amplitudes involving these extra particles. We formulate an extension of Higgs
Electroweak Vacuum in Standard Model and in its Extension Motivated by Scale Symmetry
At the beginning of the thesis the following aspects of quantum field theory are presented: momentum and loop expansion of scalar effective action, spontaneous breaking of a symmetry and vacuum

Power Corrections from Short Distances
It is argued that power contributions of short distance origin naturally arise in the infrared finite coupling approach. A phenomenology of 1/Q 2 power corrections is sketched.
