Introduction to Effective Field Theories - Lecture 2

Delve into the second lecture on Effective Field Theories (EFTs) presented by Aneesh Manohar as part of the School for Advanced Topics in Particle Physics (SATPP) at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Explore the fundamental concepts and applications of EFTs, which provide systematic methods for describing physics at different scales using relevant degrees of freedom. Gain insights into how EFTs have become essential tools for understanding the universe, from TeV-scale physics to meson and baryon observables. This 71-minute lecture is designed for postdoctoral fellows and advanced PhD students in theoretical particle physics, offering both conceptual understanding and technical tools for critical analysis. Participate in this comprehensive program that bridges low-energy and high-energy EFTs, fostering an inclusive environment for diverse participants to engage with cutting-edge topics in particle physics.
