E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: We describe on-shell methods for computing one- and two-loop anomalous dimensions in the context of effective field theories containing higher-dimension operators. We also summarize methods for computing one-loop amplitudes, which are used as inputs to the computation of two-loop anomalous dimensions, and we explain how the structure of rational terms and judicious renormalization scheme choices can lead to additional vanishing terms in the anomalous dimension matrix at two loops. We describe the two-loop implications for the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). As a by-product of this analysis we verify a variety of one-loop SMEFT anomalous dimensions computed by Alonso, Jenkins, Manohar and Trott. Keywords: Beyond Standard Model, Effective Field Theories, Renormalization Group, Scattering Amplitudes ArXiv ePrint: 2005.12917v1

Effective Field Theory (EFT) approaches have risen to prominence in recent years as a systematic means for quantifying new physics beyond the Standard Model. The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) incorporates the effects of
