Comment: Added eftx concept question

Homework:

1)

 

Does the GGG interaction of the EFT contribute to
Mathinline
body\alpha_s
?

Remember than we are only looking at operators which will contribute at 

Mathinline
body\mathcal{O}(1/\Lambda^2)
!

  

EFT Concepts:

 

1) Why doesn't the operator
Mathinline
bodyH^\dagger \tau^a H \tilde{W}_{\mu\nu} B^{\mu\nu}
 interfere with SM in the cross section calculation for H -> 2 photons?

It has a different parity than the SM operators which! [Pointed out by Nick Kamp]

 

2) What's the smallest value of 
Mathinline
body\Lambda_{\rm new\ physics}
 consistent with experiments?

In general, it's around 1 TeV. When looking for EFT operators which produce specific effects (e.g. in flavor physics), it can be much higher.
