Explore the fundamental principles of Effective Field Theory (EFT) in this advanced physics lecture delivered by David B. Kaplan as part of the School for Advanced Topics in Particle Physics at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the systematic approaches for describing physics at specific scales using only relevant degrees of freedom, understanding how EFTs have become essential tools for comprehending our universe from TeV-scale physics to mesons, baryons, atoms, and nuclei. Learn the theoretical foundations and technical tools necessary for critically analyzing EFT mechanisms, building upon existing expertise in quantum field theory and particle physics. Gain insights into how EFTs provide the appropriate language for understanding and calculating observables across various energy scales, from low-energy phenomena to high-energy physics applications. This lecture forms part of a comprehensive two-week program designed for postdoctoral fellows, advanced PhD students, and faculty members seeking to broaden their expertise in modern theoretical particle physics approaches.
