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, a methodology that has become essential for understanding phenomena from TeV-scale physics to mesons, baryons, atoms, and nuclei. Learn how EFTs provide the appropriate theoretical language for calculating observables and understanding the unknown physics at various energy scales. Gain insights into the technical tools and critical thinking approaches necessary for advanced theoretical particle physics research. This lecture forms part of a comprehensive two-week program focusing on both low energy and high energy EFTs, designed specifically for postdoctoral fellows, advanced PhD students with quantum field theory expertise, and faculty members seeking to broaden their theoretical physics knowledge.
