Standard Model Extended by a Heavy Singlet: Linear vs. Nonlinear EFT
read the original abstract
We consider the Standard Model extended by a heavy scalar singlet in different regions of parameter space and construct the appropriate low-energy effective field theories up to first nontrivial order. This top-down exercise in effective field theory is meant primarily to illustrate with a simple example the systematics of the linear and nonlinear electroweak effective Lagrangians and to clarify the relation between them. We discuss power-counting aspects and the transition between both effective theories on the basis of the model, confirming in all cases the rules and procedures derived in previous works from a bottom-up approach.

A Busy Higgs Signal
Higher-order Higgs couplings induce an electroweak-symmetry-breaking enhancement that makes Higgs-rich final states the dominant signals for scalar resonances and opens resonant multi-Higgs channels above a couple of TeV.

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