Abstract:
Effective field theory can be used to describe the properties of
Nature from the largest to the smallest scales. The simplest applications can be found within condensed matter physics where they have the longest
tradition. During the last ten years more and more phenomena within
elementary particle physics have been opened up for investigations within
this theoretical framework. Illustrative examples will be given from
atomic, nuclear, quark, electroweak and gravitational physics.
