Description

Effective field theory methods allow to analyze the impact of physics beyond the Standard Model on precision observables in low-energy experiments, e.g. flavour physics, in a model-independent way and also allow to correlate effects in different types of experiments. I will discuss the general framework and some examples of current interest, e.g. concerning tensions between B decay measurements and Standard Model expectations.
