Book: Introduction to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

Together with Alessandro Broggio and Andrea Ferroglia, I have authored a pedagogical introduction to SCET, the first introductionary text on the subject. This book was published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Physics 896 in 2015. A preprint version of the book can be found on the arXiv.
