The main objective of this work is to isolate Effective Field Theory scattering amplitudes in the space of non-perturbative two-to-two amplitudes, using the S-matrix Bootstrap. We do so by introducing the notion of Effective Field Theory cutoff in the S-matrix Bootstrap approach. We introduce a number of novel numerical techniques and improvements both for the primal and the linearized dual approach. We perform a detailed comparison of the full unitarity bounds with those obtained using positivity and linearized unitarity. Moreover, we discuss the notion of Spin-Zero and UV dominance along the boundary of the allowed amplitude space by introducing suitable observables. Finally, we show that this construction also leads to novel bounds on operators of dimension less than or equal to six.

Positivity in Massive Spin-3/2 EFTs and the Planck-Suppressed Neighbourhood of Supergravity
Massive spin-3/2 EFT contact couplings are constrained by positivity to a Planck-suppressed neighborhood of supergravity values whose volume scales as m^6/M_Pl^6 and vanishes as m approaches zero.

Bootstrapping black holes at low impact parameter
After eikonal subtraction, finite-grid SDR bootstrap extremal spectra support a cap-saturated black-hole-scale band and Regge-like ridge while leaving the intervening gap mostly empty.

Bootstrapping black holes at low impact parameter
After subtracting the eikonal carrier, the residual SDR spectrum in six dimensions organizes into a cap-saturated low-impact band, an empty gap, and Regge-like ridges whose weak-coupling edge is the G_N=0 baseline.

Analytic Bootstrap of the Veneziano Amplitude
The Veneziano amplitude is the unique outcome of an analytic dual bootstrap from dispersive sum rules, unitarity, and either string monodromy or splitting and hidden-zero conditions.

S-matrix bootstrap bounds on self-interacting dark matter
Weakly coupled scalar self-interacting dark matter cannot be heavier than ~0.3 GeV (generic) or ~MeV (derivative-coupled pNGB), much tighter than the 12 GeV unitarity bound.
