We briefly review the general form of the fermion-fermiongauge boson and fermion-fermion-Higgs interactions arising from dimension-6 operators, focusing on the top quark. We discuss in detail an expansion in powers of 1/L2, where L is the new physics scale, to consistently calculate observables in terms of top anomalous couplings.}, organization = {†This work has been partially supported by a MICINN Ramón y Cajal contract and by projects FPA2006-05294 (MICINN), FQM 101 and FQM 437 (Junta de Andalucía), CERN/FP/83588/2008 (FCT), and MRTN-CT-2006-035505 (European Union).}, publisher = {Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA)}, keywords = {Standard model}, keywords = {Operators}, keywords = {Top quark}, title = {Effective operators in top physics}, author = {Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio}, }
