Summary: EffectiveTheories for
Physics Beyond the Standard Model
ETs a useful tool in many different areas of PBSM

E.g.: B- and/or L-violation, flavour physics, etc
Concentrate on EWSB EWPT
LHC will explore for the first time the relevant
energy range, well above the Fermi scale
!QCD, G
-1/2
F
Why?
(leave out specific models)
Outline
1. The SM as a prototype Effective Theory
2. Making it without a Higgs boson
3. A more naive but also more effective expansion
4. Expanding in operators of higher dimension
5. The "little hierarchy problem"
