Abstract

Despite the remarkable success of the Standard Model in describing fundamental interactions, unresolved phenomena such as dark matter, dark energy, and matter-antimatter asymmetry strongly suggest the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model. The absence of new particle discoveries at the LHC indicates that such New Physics may be significantly heavier than the electroweak scale. In this context, Effective Field Theories offer a powerful framework for studying the indirect effects of heavy New Physics. This contribution reviews some of the recent advancements, computational tools, and phenomenology of Effective Field Theories, with a particular focus on the Standard Model Effective Field Theory.
