Title: The Universal One-Loop Effective Action
Abstract: In light of a vanilla Higgs boson and no new physics beyond the Standard Model so far, I shall motivate the effective field theory approach to characterising new physics beyond the Standard Model. After describing the phenomenology of this SM EFT, we show how matching calculations using functional methods provides an elegant way of making contact with an underlying theory. Interestingly, there is a universal structure to the one-loop result that has not been appreciated until recently.
