Effective Field Theory: Testing Weak Interactions

This lecture delves into the effective field theory framework to test weak interactions, focusing on the optical theorem, cross-sections, and propagator properties. The instructor emphasizes the importance of parity violation and demonstrates how forward-backward asymmetry can distinguish between left and right-handed couplings. Through detailed calculations and discussions on EFT applications in particle physics, students gain insights into the theoretical foundations of weak force testing and experimental implications.
