Meson-antimeson mixing provides the most stringent constraints on baryon- and lepton-number conserving New Physics, probing scales higher than $10^5$ TeV. In the context of the effective theory of weak interactions, these constraints translate into severe bounds on the coefficients of $\Delta F=2$ operators. Generalizing to the effective theory invariant under the Standard Model gauge group, valid above the electroweak scale, the bounds from $\Delta F=2$ processes also affect $\Delta F=1$ and even $\Delta F=0$ operators, due to log-enhanced radiative corrections induced by Yukawa couplings. We systematically analyze the effect of the renormalization group evolution above the electroweak scale and provide for the first time the full set of constraints on all relevant dimension-six operators.

The KSVZ Atlas: A Unified SMEFT-ALP Framework
A matching framework from arbitrary KSVZ UV completions to SMEFT and ALP EFT yields robust operator bounds from global fits that often dominate direct ALP searches except when mass mixing occurs.
