The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle we know. Therefore, it plays a very special role in the Standard Model of particle physics (SM). Its Yukawa coupling to the Higgs boson is close to one, which makes this particle a key element of many Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories. The LHC, located at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) is a proton - proton collider with a center-of-mass...

I will present the analysis of the μ − e conversion process in a scenario Beyond the Standard Model (BSM), using an effective field theory (EFT) approach. In a first part, I will discuss what is an effective field theory and why we need it. In a second part I will discuss how to use effective field theories to constrain BSM models like μ-e conversion.
