BEYOND THE STANDARD MODEL WITH EFFECTIVE LAGRANGIANS

We discuss some applications of the effective quantum field theory to the description of the physics beyond the Standard Model. We consider two different examples. In the first one we derive, at the one-loop level, an effective lagrangian for an extension of the Standard Model with a charged scalar singlet by ``integrating out'' the heavy scalar. In the second example we illustrate the use of general effective theories at the loop level.
