Dimension six operators in the standard model contribute to Higgs decays and to precision electroweak measurements. The mixing of these operators, and their implications for Higgs phenomenology is discussed. There are constraints on the new physics scale from μ → e γ, the muon anomalous magnetic moment, and the electric dipole moment, and these provide tests of the minimal flavor violation hypothesis.
