Abstract
We extend the known Universal One-Loop Effective Action (UOLEA) by all operators which involve scalars and fermions, not including contributions arising from open covariant derivatives. Our generic analytic expressions for the one-loop Wilson coefficients of effective operators up to dimension six allow for an application of the UOLEA to a broader class of UV-complete models. We apply our generic results to various effective theories of supersymmetric models, where different supersymmetric particles are integrated out at a high mass scale.

Due to their generic structure, the expressions are well suited to be implemented into generic spectrum generators such as SARAH [19,20,21,22] or FlexibleSUSY [23, 24] or Effective Field Theories (EFTs) codes in the spirit of CoDEx [25, 26]
Summary
We briefly review the most important steps in the functional matching approach at one-loop level in a scalar theory and fix the notation for the subsequent sections. Using similar arguments for the Lagrangian of the EFT, LEFT[φ], which only depends on the light fields, the generator of 1PI Green’s functions in the EFT can be calculated at one-loop as. The functional determinants can be calculated using the relation log det A = Tr log A and calculating the trace This includes a trace in the Hilbert space as constructed in [27]. To derive the currently known form of the purely scalar UOLEA [8, 9] from (2.13), one expands the logarithm in a power series, which is evaluated up to terms giving rise to operators of mass dimension 6 and calculates the corresponding coefficients arising from the momentum integral. In order to keep gauge-invariance manifest in the resulting L1EFT a covariant derivative expansion [11, 12] is used, where P μ is kept as a whole and not split into a partial derivative and gauge fields
