Effective Field Theory Bootstrap

by Henriette Elvang (University of Michigan)

Wednesday 21 May 2025, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/Zurich

4/3-006 - TH Conference Room (CERN)

In the talk I will describe how the operator couplings in effective field theory can be bounded using basic assumptions about unitarity, analyticity, and high energy behavior of the 2-to-2 scattering amplitude. I'll give some basic examples of such bounds before discussing how information from higher-point amplitudes can be used to further constrain the effective couplings in the bootstrap of the 2-to-2 amplitude.
