Abstract

Abstract This document contains lectures on SMEFT, which is an effective field theory of the degrees of freedom of the Standard Model. The material is at a basic, introductory level, without assuming any prior knowledge of effective field theory techniques. The main focus is on phenomenological applications of SMEFT in collider, flavor, and low-energy physics.
