Beta decays in the LHC era: from ultracold neutrons to colliders

Abstract

In this talk I review the New Physics reach of semileptonic beta decay experiments, and their interplay with LHC searches. Assuming the new particles are heavy enough we can use an Effective Field Theory approach to analyze the LHC searches, what allows us to perform a direct and model-independent comparison with low-energy experiments.
