= Matching in effective field theory
<Matching in effective field theory> fixes <Wilson coefficients> by requiring a low-energy theory and its <ultraviolet completion> to give the same low-energy amplitudes through a specified order. Both calculations must treat shared infrared physics consistently. Contributions from retained light particles are reproduced inside the <effective field theory>; their common nonanalytic parts are not replaced by arbitrary local heavy coefficients.
