On-shell methods have been proved a powerful tool to compute higher-point and loop amplitudes. However, most of the time we hear about the applications for (supersymmetric) Yang-Mills theories. In this talk, I will give an introduction on spinors and (massless/massive) amplitudes and show that we can indeed apply these methods for general effective field theories. Afterwards, I am going to discuss how these methods make it easier to build a dark matter model with a massive particle with general spin and workout the phenomenology.
