Description

In this talk I will discuss the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), a very general model to describe the interaction of the Standard Model with fields at masses far higher than those of the SM. I will discuss the necessity for, and techniques of using dimension-6 operators to compute decay rates and cross sections at next-to-leading order (NLO) and the phenomenological applications of such calculations.
What would be the preferred length of your talk? 10 minutes + questions
