Course Description
This lecture provides an introduction to effective field theories, beginning with the Wilsonian effective action and the renormalization group. It then discusses the general framework of effective field theories, including matching, field redefinitions, and power counting, before turning to applications such as the Standard Model at low energies.
The course assumes basic knowledge of quantum field theory. It complements the courses Quantum Field Theory II and Standard Model and may be taken in parallel. Students planning to attend the course are requested to register on ILIAS, which will be used to distribute further information.
