In this set of lectures I will present an elementary introduction to the uses of effective lagrangians in the electroweak interaction with emphasis in practical applications
We update the uncertainty analysis on $S$ parameter of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian (EWCL) by including the LEP-II W pair production data. We find that experimental data still allow a positive $S^{EXP}(1\textrm{TeV})$.
In this paper I review several aspects of the use of effective lagrangians in (mainly) electroweak physics. The conditions under which this approach is reliable and useful, as well as the limitations of the formalism are detailed. Various applications are also presented.
We match the electroweak chiral Lagrangian with two singlet scalars to the next-to-minimal composite Higgs model with $ SO(6)/SO(5) $ coset structure and extract the scalar divergences to one loop. Assuming the additional scalar to be heavy, we integrate it out and perform a matching to the well-established electroweak chiral Lagrangian with one light Higgs.
The compact form of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian is a reformulation of its original form and is expressed in terms of chiral rotated electroweak gauge fields, which is crucial for relating the information of underlying theories to the coefficients of the low-energy effective Lagrangian. However the compact form obtained in previous works is not complete. In this letter we add several new chiral invariant terms to it and discuss the contributions of these terms to the original electroweak chiral Lagrangian.
Using effective field theory methods, we integrate out the standard model Higgs boson to one loop and represent its non-decoupling effects by a set of gauge invariant effective operators of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian. We briefly discuss the relation between the renormalization of both the standard model and the effective theory, which is crucial for a correct understanding and use of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian. Some examples have been chosen to show the applicability of this effective Lagrangian approach in the calculation of low energy observables in electroweak theory.
We perform a systematic one-loop renormalization to the standard model with a nonlinearly realized Higgs boson field and the electroweak chiral Lagrangian up to $O(p^2)$ order. We find even in the nonlinear form, the Higgs model of the standard model is renormalizable in our procedure. We also examine $β$ functions of gauge couplings for the standard model and $β$ functions for anomalous couplings in the electroweak chiral Lagrangian up to $O(p^2)$ order, and find our results agree with all well-known results. Based on these observations, we conclude that our calculation procedure could be a c…
Electroweak chiral Lagrangian for a hypercharge-universal topcolor model is investigated. We find that the assignments of universal hypercharge improve the results obtained previously from K.Lane's prototype natural TC2 model by allowing a larger Z' mass resulting in a very small T parameter and the S parameter is still around the order of +1
In this work we report on the results obtained in a detailed and systematical study of the possibility to measure the parameters appearing in the electroweak chiral lagrangian. The main novelty of our approach is that we do not use the Equivalence Theorem and therefore we work explicitly with all the gauge boson degrees of freedom.
Employing background-field method and super-heat-kernel expansion, we compute the complete one-loop renormalization of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian with a light Higgs boson. Earlier results from purely scalar fluctuations are confirmed as a special case. We also recover the one-loop renormalization of the conventional Standard Model in the appropriate limit.
A revised and complete list of the electroweak chiral lagrangian operators up to dimension-four is provided. The connection of these operators to the $S$, $T$ and $U$ parameters and the parameters describing the triple gauge boson vertices $WWγ$ and $WWZ$ is made, and the size of these parameters from new heavy physics is estimated using a one flavor-doublet model of heavy fermions. The coefficients of the chiral lagrangian operators are also computed in this model.
The framework of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian with a light Higgs is extended by an additional scalar and then generalized to N scalars in the Higgs sector. Divergences from scalar fluctuations are renormalized up to one loop using the background field method. The results are crosschecked against the case of one scalar. A subset of the divergences is demonstrated and crosschecked diagrammatically. Together with the complete one-loop renormalization of the electroweak chiral theory with one light Higgs conducted previously, this constitutes a renormalization framework of any pure scalar ext…
A natural solution to the hierachy problem of the standard model is to assume new physics to appear at the TeV scale. We parametrize the effects of this new physics in terms of an effective lagrangian and examine its impacts on electroweak baryogenesis. We point out that with such an effective lagrangian successful electroweak baryogenesis implies: i) Higgs boson lies within the reach of LEP II; ii)electric dipole moments of electron and neutron are detectable in the near future.
Based on previous studies deriving the chiral Lagrangian for pseudo scalar mesons from the first principle of QCD in the path integral formalism, we derive the electroweak chiral Lagrangian and dynamically compute all its coefficients from the one family technicolor model. The numerical results of the $p^4$ order coefficients obtained in this paper are proportional to the technicolor number $N_{\rm TC}$ and the technifermion number $N_{\rm TF}$, which agrees with the arguments in previous works, and which confirms the reliability of this dynamical computation.
We show the computational procedure of the renormalization of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian (the 4D Higgsless standard model), and provide one simplified version of its one-loop renormalization group equations, which we demonstrate its simplicity and reliability. By analyzing the solutions of the one-loop renormalization group equations of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian, we study the parameter space of the precision test parameters at ultraviolet cutoff with the current low energy experimental constraints. We find that the region of the permitted parameter space can be greatly amplified…
Based on previous studies computing coefficients of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian from C.T.Hill's schematic topcolor-assisted technicolor model, we generalize the calculation to K.Lane's prototype natural topcolor-assisted technicolor model. We find that typical features of the model are qualitatively similar as those of Hill's model, but Lane's model prefers smaller technicolor group and Z' mass must be smaller than 400GeV, further S parameter is around order of +1 mainly due to existence of three doublets of techniquarks. We obtain the values for all coefficients of the electroweak chira…
Taking into account the negative searches for New Physics at the LHC, electroweak effective theories are appropriate to deal with current energies. Tracks of new, higher scales can be studied through next-to leading order corrections of the electroweak effective theory. We assume a generic non-linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking with a singlet Higgs and a strongly-coupled UV-completion. We further consider a high-energy Lagrangian that incorporates explicitly a general set of new heavy fields. After integrating out these heavy resonances, we study the pattern of low-energy …
We study large top quark mass effects on low energy physics in the chiral Lagrangian formulated electroweak theories. We show that these radiative corrections can be easily obtained from a set of Feynman diagrams involving only the scalar Goldstone bosons and the fermions when the contributions of the order $g$ (the weak coupling) are ignored. Using CERN LEP and SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) data we constrain on the nonstandard couplings, which might originate from the spontaneous symmetry-breaking sector, of the top quark to the electroweak gauge bosons.
The electroweak chiral Lagrangian for the topcolor assisted technicolor model proposed by K. Lane, which uses nontrivial patterns of techniquark condensation and walking, was investigated in this study. We found that the features of the model are qualitatively similar to those of Lane's previous natural TC2 prototype model, but there is no limit on the upper bound of the Z' mass. We discuss the phase structure and possible walking behavior of the model. We obtained the values of all coefficients of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian up to an order of p4. We show that although the walking effect…
The couplings of the electroweak effective theory contain information on the heavy-mass scales which are no-longer present in the low-energy Lagrangian. We build a general effective Lagrangian, implementing the electroweak chiral symmetry breaking $SU(2)_L\otimes SU(2)_R\to SU(2)_{L+R}$, which couples the known particle fields to heavier states with bosonic quantum numbers $J^P=0^\pm$ and $1^\pm$. We consider colour-singlet heavy fields that are in singlet or triplet representations of the electroweak group. Integrating out these heavy scales, we analyze the pattern of low-energy couplings amo…
In these proceedings we explore the use of (non-linear) electroweak chiral Lagrangians for the description of possible beyond the Standard Model strong dynamics in the electroweak sector. Experimentally one observes an approximate electroweak symmetry breaking pattern $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R/SU(2)_{L+R}$. Quantum Chromodynamics shows a similar chiral structure and, in spite of the differences (in the electroweak theory $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ is gauged), it has served for years as a guide for this type of studies. Examples of one-loop computations in the low-energy effective theory and the theor…
We consider the Standard Model, including a light scalar boson $h$, as an effective theory at the weak scale $v=246\,{\rm GeV}$ of some unknown dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking. This dynamics may be strong, with $h$ emerging as a pseudo-Goldstone boson. The symmetry breaking scale $Λ$ is taken to be at $4πv$ or above. We review the leading-order Lagrangian within this framework, which is nonrenormalizable in general. A chiral Lagrangian can then be constructed based on a loop expansion. A systematic power counting is derived and used to identify the classes of counterterms that appear…
Based on previous studies deriving the chiral Lagrangian for pseudo scalar mesons from the first principle of QCD, we derive the electroweak chiral Lagrangian and build up a formulation for computing its coefficients from one-doublet technicolor model and a schematic topcolor-assisted technicolor model. We find that the coefficients of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian for the topcolor-assisted technicolor model are divided into three parts: direct TC2 interaction part, TC1 and TC2 induced effective Z' particle contribution part, and ordinary quarks contribution part. The first two parts are c…
The complete list of electroweak chiral Lagrangian for W', Z' and a neutral light higgs with symmetry $SU(2)_1\otimes SU(2)_2\otimes U(1)$ is provided. The bosonic part is accurate up to order of $p^4$, the matter part involving various fermions representation arrangements includes dimension three Yukawa type and dimension four gauge type operators. The universal mixings and masses of gauge boson and fermion are given. Constraints from mass differences for $K^0-\bar{K}^0$, $B_d^0-\bar{B}_{d}^0$, $B_s^0-\bar{B}_{s}^0$ systems and indirect CP violation parameter $|ε_K|$ for $K$ mesons are evalua…
The possibility of electroweak baryogenesis is considered within the framework of a left-right supersymmetric model. It is shown that for a range of parameters the large sneutrino VEV required for parity breaking varies at the electroweak phase transition leading to a production of baryons. The resulting baryon to entropy ratio is approximated to be ${n_B\over s}\sim α0.7 \times10^{-8}$, where $α$ is the angle that the phase of sneutrino VEV changes at the electroweak phase transition.
In this talk we discuss the structure of electroweak low-energy effective theories where the Higgs is non-linearly realized, typically in scenarios where the Higgs is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of some beyond Standard Model symmetry. The organization of the perturbative counting and the relevance of the various next-to-leading order contributions is studied. We discuss some new results on the structure of the one-loop ultraviolet divergences and the contribution from tree-level heavy resonance exchanges to the low-energy effective theory, which are applied to a couple of explicit examples …
In this talk I discuss the interpretation of LHC Higgs measurements within the electroweak chiral Lagrangian, paying particular attention to the role of power counting.
The lepton number violating interactions generated by the light Majorana neutrinos can erase the primordial baryon asymmetry of the universe during the electroweak phase transition. The Majorana masses of the left-handed neutrinos are constrained to avoid this problem. These constraints do not depend on the $(B-L)$ symmetry breaking mechanism.
Contrary to a widely spread believe, we have demonstrated that strongly coupled electroweak models including both a light Higgs-like boson and massive spin-1 resonances are not in conflict with experimental constraints on the oblique S and T parameters. We use an effective Lagrangian implementing the chiral symmetry breaking SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R -> SU(2)_{L+R} that contains the Standard Model gauge bosons coupled to the electroweak Goldstones, one Higgs-like scalar state h with mass m_h=126 GeV and the lightest vector and axial-vector resonance multiplets V and A. We have considered the one-loop …
As a first step towards the construction of a general electroweak effective Lagrangian incorporating heavy states, we present here a simplified version where only vector and axial-vector spin-1 triplets are involved. We adopt an effective field theory formalism, implementing the electroweak chiral symmetry breaking SU(2)L x SU(2)R -> SU(2)L+R, which couples the heavy states to the SM fields. At low energies, the heavy degrees of freedom are integrated out from the action and their effects are hidden in the low-energy couplings of the Electroweak Effective Theory, which can be tested experiment…
The most general chiral Lagrangian for electroweak interactions with the complete set of $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ invariant operators up to dimension four is considered. The two-point and three-point functions with external gauge fields are derived from this effective chiral Lagrangian to one-loop order in a generic $R_ξ$-gauge. The same set of Green's functions are paralelly studied in the renormalizable standard model to one-loop order, in a $R_ξ$-gauge and in the large Higgs mass limit. An appropriate set of matching conditions connecting the Green's functions of the two theories allows us to…
Starting from the one-loop divergences we obtained previously, we work out the renormalization of the Higgs-Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian explicitly and in detail. This includes the renormalization of the lowest-order Lagrangian, as well as the decomposition of the remaining divergences into a complete basis of next-to-leading-order counterterms. We provide the list of the corresponding beta functions. We show how our results match the one-loop renormalization of some of the dimension-6 operators in SMEFT. We further point out differences with related work in the literature and discuss them. A…
The Standard Model of fundamental interactions, albeit an incredibly elegant and successful theory, lacks explanations for some experimental and theoretical open questions. Interestingly, many of these problems seem to be related to the electroweak symmetry breaking sector of the theory, whose dynamical generation is still unknown. Important questions such as what is the true nature of the Higgs boson, why is its mass so light and so close to that of the electroweak gauge bosons or whether the properties of this particle are the ones predicted in the Standard Model remain unanswered. The LHC i…
By including the recently discovered Higgs-like scalar $φ$ in the Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian, and using the Equivalence Theorem, we carry out the complete one-loop computation of the elastic scattering amplitude for the longitudinal components of the gauge bosons $V=W, Z$ at high energy. We also compute $φφ\rightarrow φφ$ and the inelastic process $VV\rightarrow φφ$, and identify the counterterms needed to cancel the divergences, namely the well known $a_4$ and $a_5$ chiral parameters plus three additional ones only superficially treated in the literature because of their dimension 8. Final…
The basics of a supersymmetric left-right model are reviewed. The production and subsequent decays of the doubly charged triplet higgsino $ \tildeΔ^{\pm\pm}$ in the Next Linear Collider are discussed. The slepton pair production in the framework of this model is also analysed.
We estimate the CP-violating $WWγ$ and $WWZ$ anomalous form factors, arising from CP-violating interactions in extended technicolor theories, and discuss their future experimental detectability. The electric dipole moment of the $W$ boson is found to be as large as ${\cal O}(10^{-21}) \; \mbox{$e$ cm}$. We connect the CP-odd $WWγ$ and $WWZ$ couplings to the corresponding CP-violating electroweak chiral lagrangian operators. The electric dipole moments of the neutron and the electron in technicolor theories are estimated to be as large as ${\cal O}(10^{-26}) \; \mbox{$e$ cm}$ and ${\cal O}(10^{…
We study the finite-temperature effective potential of minimal left-right symmetric models containing a bidoublet and two triplets in the scalar sector. We perform a numerical analysis of the parameter space compatible with the requirement that baryon asymmetry is not washed out by sphaleron processes after the electroweak phase transition. We find that the spectrum of scalar particles for these acceptable cases is consistent with present experimental bounds.
We consider the scalar sector of the effective non-linear electroweak Lagrangian with a light "Higgs" particle, up to four derivatives in the chiral expansion. The complete off-shell renormalization procedure is implemented, including one loop corrections stemming from the leading two-derivative terms, for finite Higgs mass. This determines the complete set of independent chiral invariant scalar counterterms required for consistency; these include bosonic operators often disregarded. Furthermore, new counterterms involving the Higgs particle which are apparently chiral non-invariant are identi…
We use the external field method to study the electroweak chiral Lagrangian of the extra dimension model with brane fluctuation. Under the assumption that the contact terms between the matters of the standard model and KK excitations are heavily suppressed, we use the standard procedure to integrate out the quantum fields of KK excitations and the equation of motion to eliminate the classic fields of KK excitations. At one-loop level, we find that up to the order $O(p^4)$, due to the momentum conservation of the fifth dimension and the gauge symmetry of the zero modes, there is no constraint o…
Application of a Stueckelberg transformation allows one to connect various Lagrangians which have been independently proposed for non-standard couplings. We discuss the reduction of the number of independent parameters in the Lagrangian and compare symmetry arguments with dimensional arguments.
The electroweak sector of the Standard Model can be formulated in a way similar to Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), but extended by a singlet scalar. The resulting effective field theory (EFT) is called Higgs-Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian (EWCh$\mathcal{L}$) and is the most general approach to new physics in the Higgs sector. It solely assumes the pattern of symmetry breaking leading to the three electroweak Goldstone bosons (i.e. massive $W$ and $Z$) and the existence of a Higgs-like scalar particle. The power counting of the EWCh$\mathcal{L}$ is given by a generalization of the momentum ex…
We study the electroweak interactions within the standard electroweak theory in the case where the Higgs particle is heavy, namely, $M_H \leq 1\;TeV$. By integrating out the Higgs boson to one loop we find the complete effective lagrangian, called electroweak chiral lagrangian, that is $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ invariant and contains the whole set of operators up to dimension four. The values of the chiral parameters representing the non-decoupling effects of the heavy Higgs are presented. Some examples have been chosen to show the applicability of this effective lagrangian approach to compute ph…
Indirect CP violation is analyzed in the framework of the electroweak gauge theory of J=0 mesons proposed in ref.[1], in which they transform like composite fermion-antifermion operators by the chiral U(N)left x U(N)right group and by the SU(2)left x U(1) gauge group of the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model. It is shown that, in this model where, in particular, mass terms can be introduced for the mesons themselves, and unlike what happens in the standard model for fermions: - electroweak mass eigenstates can differ from CP eigenstates even in the case of two generations; - the existence of a compl…
We use the left-right symmetry model based on SU(2)_{L}xSU(2)_{R}xU(1)_{B-L} gauge group with two bidoublets and one doublet Higgs field for electroweak interaction. The lepton fields are represented as a doublet of SU(2)for both left and right fields. By using the pattern of symmetry breaking emerges as the minimum of the Higgs potential for a range of parameters, we show that the domination of the V-A over V+A interactions is natural at low energy. The symmetry breaking is the responsible mechanism for the up-down lepton doublet mass difference
We study the predictions of the left-right model of electroweak interaction based on $SU(2)_{L}\otimes SU(2)_{R}\otimes U(1)$ gauge group by using one bidoublet and one doublet Higgs fields. We can reproduce the low energy phenomenology of electroweak interaction by choosing the appropriate values of vacuum expectation values of Higgs fields. Leptons can obtain a mass via two scenarios, first via Higgs mechanism with non-zero 'hypercharge-like' $I$ in Lagrangian density mass termms and put the Yukawa couplings $G_{l}>>G_{l}^{*}$, and the second via Higgs mechanism followed by a seesaw mechanis…
We discuss the properties of the topological soliton, or the Electroweak-Skyrmion, in the system of the Standard Model Higgs Lagrangian with addition of general O(p^4) terms. We show that the upper bound on the mass of the Electroweak-Skyrmion is about 10 TeV, which is obtained from currently available experimental constraints on coefficients of O(p^4) terms. The impact on the properties of the Electroweak-Skyrmion due to further modification of the Lagrangian is also discussed, and comments on possible mechanisms for the generation of the Electroweak-Skyrmion in the early Universe as a dark m…
We consider the general chiral effective action which parametrizes the nonlinear realization of the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry with a light Higgs, and compute the one-loop ultraviolet divergences coming from Higgs and electroweak Goldstone fluctuations using the background field method. The renormalization of the divergences is carried out through operators of next-to-leading order in the chiral counting, i.e. of O(p^4). Being of the same order in power counting, the logarithmic corrections linked to these divergences can be as important as the tree-level contributions fr…
In these proceedings we provide a brief summary of the findings of a previous article where we have studied the photon-photon scattering into longitudinal weak bosons within the context of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian with a light Higgs, a low-energy effective field theory including a Higgs-like scalar singlet and where the electroweak would-be Goldstone bosons are non-linearly realized. We consider the relevant Lagrangian up to next-to-leading order in the chiral counting, which is explained in some detail here. We find that these amplitudes are ultraviolet finite and the relevant combin…
Using a chiral Lagrangian we show that strongly interacting models of electroweak symmetry breaking are not in conflict with precision data. Such models, like Technicolor, need not lead to a heavy Higgs-like signal. Furthermore, the allowed values for the low-energy constants in the effective Lagrangian, derived from bounds on the oblique correction parameters S,T,U, are not unnatural. Finally, we point out that there are some problems with gauge invariance, if one tries to relate the oblique parameters to the low-energy constants in the ordinary chiral Lagrangian for QCD of Gasser and Leutwyl…
The problem of mass generation is addressed by a Gaussian variational method for the minimal left-right symmetric model of electroweak interactions. Without any scalar bidoublet, the Gaussian effective potential is shown to have a minimum for a broken symmetry vacuum with a finite expectation value for both the scalar Higgs doublets. The symmetry is broken by the fermionic coupling that destabilizes the symmetric vacuum, yielding a self consistent fermionic mass. In this framework a light Higgs is only compatible with the existence of a new high energy mass scale below 2 TeV.
Quantization and renormalization of the left-right symmetric model is the main purpose of the paper. First the model at tree level with a Higgs sector containing one bidoublet and two triplets is precisely discussed. Then the canonical quantization and Faddeev-Popov Lagrangian are carried out ('t Hooft gauge). The BRST symmetry is discussed. Subsequently the on mass shell renormalization is performed and, as a test of consistency, the renormalization of the ZNiNj vertex is analyzed.
Anomalous Couplings from the Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian for Off-Shell Higgs in $gg\to Z_L Z_L$

Gauge boson masses for a minimal $SU(4)_{EW} \otimes U(1)_{B-l}$ model]{Following the general procedure of spontaneous symmetry breaking of a $SU(4)_{EW} \otimes U(1)_{B-l}$ electroweak gauge group with left-right symmetry, we obtain the gauge boson masses and currents for the minimal version of the model. The physical eigenstates for neutral gauge bosons are determined by introducing two mixing angles $θ_4$ and $θ_3$ which are related to the electroweak mixing angle $θ_w$ at the unification scale. By introducing some physical approaches in order to simplify the calculations, we calculate the …
In the framework of the effective field theory method, we use the experimental data and the perturbative unitarity bounds to determine the values and uncertainty of all the 11 chiral coefficients ($\al_i, i=0, ..., 10$) of the standard electroweak chiral Lagrangian. Up to linear terms in $\al_i$, we provide the one-loop renormalization group equations of all the chiral coefficients, which are calculated in the Feynman-'t Hooft gauge using the modified minimal subtraction scheme. With the improved renormalization group equations to sum over the logarithmic corrections, we analyze the current ex…
Using the exact propagators in a constant magnetic field, the effective electromagnetic Lagrangian at finite temperature and density is calculated to all orders in the field strength B within the framework of the complete electroweak model, in the weak coupling limit. The partition function and free energy are obtained explicitly and the finite temperature effective coupling is derived in closed form. Some implications of this result, potentially interesting to astrophysics and cosmology, are discussed.
In this talk we study beyond Standard Model scenarios where the Higgs is non-linearly realized. The one-loop ultraviolet divergences of the low-energy effective theory at next-to-leading order, O(p^4), are computed by means of the background-field method and the heat-kernel expansion. The power counting in non-linear theories shows that these divergences are determined by the leading-order effective Lagrangian L_2. We focus our attention on the most important O(p^4) divergences, which are provided by the loops of Higgs and electroweak Goldstones, as these particle are the only ones that couple…
We construct the most general effective Lagrangian of the matter sector of the Standard Model, including mixing and CP violating terms. The Lagrangian contains the effective operators that give the leading contribution in theories where the physics beyond the Standard Model shows at a scale $Λ>>M_{W}$. We perform the diagonalization and passage to the physical basis in full generality. We determine the contribution to the different observables and discuss the possible new sources of CP violation, the idea being to be able to gain some knowledge about new physics beyond the Standard Model from …
We consider the electroweak chiral Lagrangian, including a light scalar boson, in the limit of small $ξ=v^2/f^2$. Here $v$ is the electroweak scale and $f$ is the corresponding scale of the new strong dynamics. We show how the conventional SILH Lagrangian, defined as the effective theory of a strongly-interacting light Higgs (SILH) to first order in $ξ$, can be obtained as a limiting case of the complete electroweak chiral Lagrangian. The approach presented here ensures the completeness of the operator basis at the considered order, it clarifies the systematics of the effective Lagrangian, gua…
In general, an effective low-energy Lagrangian model of composite electroweak symmetry breaking contains soliton solutions that may be identified with technibaryons. We recall how the masses of such states may be related to the coefficients of fourth-order terms in the effective Lagrangian, and review the qualitative success of this approach for baryons in QCD. We then show how the current theoretical and phenomenological constraints on the corresponding fourth-order coefficients in the electroweak theory could be used to estimate qualitative lower and upper bounds on the lightest electroweak …
We construct a complete basis of dimension-8 operators in the Low-Energy Effective Field Theory below the Electroweak Scale (LEFT). We find there are 35058 dimension-8 operators in the LEFT for two generations of up-type quarks and three generations of down-type quarks, charged leptons, and left-handed neutrinos. The existence of this operator basis is a necessary prerequisite for matching to the Standard Model Effective Field Theory at the dimension-8 level.
