We construct a low-energy effective field theory which allows the full treatment of isospin-breaking effects in semileptonic weak interactions. To this end, we enlarge the particle spectrum of chiral perturbation theory with virtual photons by including also the light leptons as dynamical degrees of freedom. Using super-heat-kernel techniques, we determine the additional one-loop divergences generated by the presence of virtual leptons and give the full list of associated local counterterms. We illustrate the use of our effective theory by applying it to the decays pi -> l nu_{l} and K -> l nu_{l}.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pion β decay and τ→ππν short-distance radiative corrections are matched at NLL accuracy with evanescent-scheme dependence cancelled, giving Δ_RC^{πℓ}=0.03403(11) and a τ-HVP isospin-breaking shift of −0.07(4)×10^-10.

  2. Complete One-Loop Renormalization of the Higgs-Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian

    hep-ph 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The complete one-loop renormalization of the EWChL is performed, confirming power counting assumptions and operator basis completeness while reproducing known subsector results.

  3. The Art of Counting: a reappraisal of the HEFT expansion

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    HEFT admits two consistent power counting schemes, one with a single low-energy scale v and one with two scales v < f, each allowing systematic truncation of operators and amplitudes for any normalization choice.
