Two-loop dimension Six Effective Action: Integrating Out Heavy Scalar
arXiv:2501.01313 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2025.117273
Abstract
For the first time, we present the model-independent two-loop effective action up to dimension six after integrating out heavy scalar(s) employing the Heat-Kernel method. We compute the effective operators that emerge at two-loop for two example models: heavy electroweak complex Triplet and Doublet scalars. We present our results on the SILH basis. We also capture the effect in the fermion sector. For these two scenarios, we compute all the fermionic effective operators up to dimension six.
