There is no textbook for this course. Lectures will be drawn from textbooks, review articles,
and occasionally original papers. Below is a list of references which I think will be useful.

Textbooks (Title linked to online vendors.)

• Michael E. Peskin and Daniel V. Schroeder, An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory

Backgound material on the Standard Model and Quantum Field Theory can be found here.

• Howard Georgi, Weak Interactions and Modern Particle Theory
• Aneesh V. Manohar and Mark B. Wise, Heavy Quark Physics

Both of these textbooks provide a good introduction to the basic ideas of effective field theory

Review Articles (Title liked to SPIRES)

• Howard Georgi, Effective Field Theory
• Mark Wise, Combining Chiral and Heavy Quark Symmetry
• Aneesh Manohar, Effective Field Theories
• Ira Rothstein, TASI Lectures on Effective Field Theories
• David Kaplan, Five Lectures on Effective Field Theory
• Veronique Bernard and Ulf Meissner, Chiral Perturbation Theory
