In [[physics]], an '''effective field theory''' is a type of approximation to (or [[effective theory]] for) an underlying physical theory, such as a [[quantum field theory]] or a [[statistical mechanics]] model. An effective field theory includes the appropriate [[degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry)|degrees of freedom]] to describe physical phenomena occurring at a chosen [[length scale]] or energy scale, while ignoring substructure and degrees of freedom at shorter distances (or, equivalently, at higher energies). Intuitively, one averages over the behavior of the underlying theory at shorter length scales to derive a hopefully simplified model at longer length scales. Effective field theories typically work best when there is a large separation between length scale of interest and the length scale of the underlying dynamics. Effective field theories have found use in [[particle physics]], [[statistical mechanics]], and [[condensed matter physics]]. | |||
==The renormalization group== | |||
Presently, effective field theories are discussed in the context of the [[renormalization group]] (RG) where the process of ''integrating out'' short distance degrees of freedom is made systematic. Although this method is not sufficiently concrete to allow the actual construction of effective field theories, the gross understanding of their usefulness becomes clear through a RG analysis. This method also lends credence to the main technique of constructing effective field theories, through the analysis of [[symmetry|symmetries]]. If there is a single mass scale '''M''' in the ''microscopic'' theory, then the effective field theory can be seen as an expansion in '''1/M'''. The construction of an effective field theory accurate to some power of '''1/M''' requires a new set of free parameters at each order of the expansion in '''1/M'''. This technique is useful for [[scattering]] or other processes where the maximum momentum scale '''k''' satisfies the condition '''k/M≪1'''. Since effective field theories are not valid at small length scales, they need not be [[Renormalization#Renormalizability|renormalizable]]. Indeed, the ever expanding number of parameters at each order in '''1/M''' required for an effective field theory means that they are generally not renormalizable in the same sense as [[quantum electrodynamics]] which requires only the renormalization of two parameters. | |||
==Examples of effective field theories== | |||
===Fermi theory of beta decay=== | |||
The best-known example of an effective field theory is the [[Fermi's interaction|Fermi theory of beta decay]]. This theory was developed during the early study of weak decays of [[Atomic nucleus|nuclei]] when only the [[hadron]]s and [[lepton]]s undergoing weak decay were known. The typical [[elementary particle reaction|reactions]] studied were: | |||
::<math> | |||
\begin{align} | |||
n & \to p+e^-+\overline\nu_e \\ | |||
\mu^- & \to e^-+\overline\nu_e+\nu_\mu. | |||
\end{align} | |||
</math> | |||
This theory posited a pointlike interaction between the four [[fermion]]s involved in these reactions. The theory had great [[phenomenology (particle physics)|phenomenological]] success and was eventually understood to arise from the [[gauge theory]] of [[electroweak interaction]]s, which forms a part of the [[standard model]] of particle physics. In this more fundamental theory, the interactions are mediated by a [[flavour (particle physics)|flavour]]-changing [[gauge boson]], the W<sup>±</sup>. The immense success of the Fermi theory was because the W particle has mass of about 80 [[GeV]], whereas the early experiments were all done at an energy scale of less than 10 [[MeV]]. Such a separation of scales, by over 3 orders of magnitude, has not been met in any other situation as yet. | |||
===BCS theory of superconductivity=== | |||
Another famous example is the [[BCS theory]] of [[superconductivity]]. Here the underlying theory is of [[electron]]s in a [[metal]] interacting with lattice vibrations called [[phonon]]s. The phonons cause attractive interactions between some electrons, causing them to form [[Cooper pair]]s. The length scale of these pairs is much larger than the wavelength of phonons, making it possible to neglect the dynamics of phonons and construct a theory in which two electrons effectively interact at a point. This theory has had remarkable success in describing and predicting the results of experiments on superconductivity. | |||
===Other examples=== | |||
Presently, effective field theories are written for many situations. | |||
*One major branch of [[nuclear physics]] is [[quantum hadrodynamics]], where the interactions of [[hadron]]s are treated as a field theory, which should be derivable from the underlying theory of [[quantum chromodynamics]]. Due to the smaller separation of length scales here, this effective theory has some classificatory power, but not the spectacular success of the Fermi theory. | |||
*In [[particle physics]] the effective field theory of [[Quantum chromodynamics|QCD]] called [[chiral perturbation theory]] has had better success. This theory deals with the interactions of [[hadron]]s with [[pion]]s or [[kaon]]s, which are the [[Goldstone boson]]s of [[spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking]]. The expansion parameter is the [[pion]] energy/momentum. | |||
*For [[hadron]]s containing one heavy [[quark]] (such as the [[bottom quark|bottom]] or [[Charm quark|charm]]), an effective field theory which expands in powers of the quark mass, called the [[heavy-quark effective theory]] (HQET), has been found useful. | |||
*For [[hadron]]s containing two heavy quarks, an effective field theory which expands in powers of the [[relative velocity]] of the heavy quarks, called [[non-relativistic QCD]] (NRQCD), has been found useful, especially when used in conjunctions with [[lattice QCD]]. | |||
*For [[hadron]] reactions with light energetic ([[collinear]]) particles, the interactions with low-energetic (soft) degrees of freedom are described by the [[soft-collinear effective theory]] (SCET). | |||
*[[General relativity]] is expected to be the low energy effective field theory of a full theory of [[quantum gravity]], such as [[string theory]]. The expansion scale is the [[Planck mass]]. | |||
*Much of [[condensed matter physics]] consists of writing effective field theories for the particular property of matter being studied. | |||
*Effective field theories have also been used to simplify problems in General Relativity (NRGR). In particular in calculating [[Parameterized post-Newtonian formalism|post-Newtonian correction]]s to the [[gravitational wave|gravity wave]] signature of inspiralling finite-sized objects.

In physics, an effective field theory is a type of approximation to (or effective theory for) an underlying physical theory, such as a quantum field theory or a statistical mechanics model. An effective field theory includes the appropriate degrees of freedom to describe physical phenomena occurring at a chosen length scale or energy scale, while ignoring substructure and degrees of freedom at shorter distances (or, equivalently, at higher energies).

The renormalization group

Although this method is not sufficiently concrete to allow the actual construction of effective field theories, the gross understanding of their usefulness becomes clear through a RG analysis. This method also lends credence to the main technique of constructing effective field theories, through the analysis of symmetries. If there is a single mass scale M in the microscopic theory, then the effective field theory can be seen as an expansion in 1/M. The construction of an effective field theory accurate to some power of 1/M requires a new set of free parameters at each order of the expansion in 1/M. This technique is useful for scattering or other processes where the maximum momentum scale k satisfies the condition k/M≪1. Since effective field theories are not valid at small length scales, they need not be renormalizable.
