Abstract: 

With the completion of the Standard Model, there is no guarantee that new particles can be found at current or future colliders. Meanwhile, precision measurements of the Higgs and the electroweak bosons at future colliders offer a great opportunity for probing new physics beyond the Standard Model. The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) provides an ideal framework for a model-independent interpretation of these measurements. I will provide a brief overview of the subject and highlight some of my own work. I will also mention a few novel developments and discuss my personal view on the future of the field and strategies to go forward.

Introduction: 

Jiayin Gu obtained his PhD at the University of California, Davis in 2014. He has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at IHEP, DESY and is now at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. In recent years, his work mainly focuses on the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) and its applications on precision Higgs and electroweak measurements at future colliders. He is also an active contributor to various future collider projects, with a major contribution to the EFT analysis in the CEPC conceptual design report.
