The quest for sources of the simultaneous violation of C and CP symmetry was popular in the 1960s and has since been mostly neglected. We revisit the operators that break C and CP for flavor-conserving transitions in both the Standard Model effective field theory and the low-energy effective field theory. Subsequently, we match these quark operators to light-meson physics using chiral...

The chiral symmetry of QCD can be exploited to build an effective field theory, called Chiral Perturbation Theory ($\chi$PT), which allows to describe the interactions of light mesons at low energies, where the standard perturbative expansion in the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ is no longer possible.

Two-pole structures refer to the fact that two dynamically generated states are located close to each other between two coupled channels and have a mass difference smaller than the sum of their widths. Thus, the two poles overlap in the invariant mass distribution of their decay products, creating the impression that only one state exists. This phenomenon was first noticed for the Lambda(1405)...

Any effective field theory relies on a certain power counting that allows one to perform a systematic expansion of calculated quantities in terms of some soft scales. However, a naive power counting can be violated due to the presence of various hard scales in the scheme. A typical example of such a scale is an ultraviolet regulator. This issue is particularly challenging when the...

Theorists love the unitarity limit: the $NN$ $S$-wave binding energies are zero, the scattering lengths infinite, and one has more symmetries. In "pionless" EFT, Efimov's $3N$ scale sets the only low-energy scale of all observables for a convergent, perturbative expansion around the unitarity limit.

Chiral effective field theory ($\chi$EFT) is an approach to describe the force between nucleons as arising from the more fundamental principles of quantum chromodynamics.

We introduce a novel method that utilizes the overlaps between test states and Hamiltonian eigenstates to determine resonance positions, applicable both in lattice and in finite-volume continuum calculations. We demonstrate the efficiency of this method through explicit examples. Using simple spatially compact test states, we obtained Breit-Wigner peaks in the energy distribution for the...

By considering the one loop background field method for the quark-antiquark interaction mediated by non perturbative one-gluon exchange, U(3) flavor dependent corrections to the NJL-model coupling constant are derived in the local limit. Meson and quark mixing(s) are discussed, basically emerging due to the different representations in which quarks and quark-antiquark meson are defined. These...

We use a combination of effective field theory and the renormalization group to determine the impact of radiative corrections on the nucleon-nucleon potential. In order to do so, we present a modified version of pionless effective field theory inspired by earlier work in nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. We investigate the effect of the corrections on the binding energy, electromagnetic...

During the talk, I will discuss progress in applying the relativistic three-particle scattering formalism of Hansen and Sharpe to systems of non-degenerate mesons of arbitrary angular momenta. For concreteness, I will focus on the $DD\pi$ system in the charm $C=2$ and isospin $I=0$ sectors, where the doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}^+(3875)$ should appear as a pole in the elastic $3 \to 3$...

The breaking of conformal and chiral symmetry determine the structure of the QCD vacuum and condition the emergent properties of light hadrons. We review recent efforts in studying these phenomena in the instanton liquid model of the QCD vacuum, a semiclassical picture abstracted from lattice QCD calculations. Chiral symmetry breaking is caused by the fermionic zero modes induced by the...

Nuclear structure effects on the energies of light (ordinary and muonic) atoms are the dominant source of uncertainty in the determination of the nuclear charge radii and other properties of light nuclei [1], [2]. The most important of these effects are the two-photon exchange (TPE) contributions. The present method of choice for studying them is ab initio theoretical calculations. In this...

Charge, magnetic and Zemach radii of light nuclei characterize the distribution of electromagnetic charge inside the corresponding nuclei and are a perfect tool to test modern high-precision nuclear forces.

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, also called the muon $g-2$, is a sensitive probe of the Standard Model. Any evidence for a non-zero deficit between experimental measurement and theoretical prediction would be ascribed to contributions from physics beyond the SM.

Next-generation neutrinoless double-beta decay (0vbb) experiments aim to discover lepton number violation in order to shed light on the nature of neutrino masses. A non-zero signal would have profound implications by demonstrating the existence of elementary Majorana particles and possibly pointing towards a solution of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.

The transition-density formalism is highly efficient for interactions with perturbative probes in few-nucleon systems. One- and two-body transition densities that encode the nuclear structure of the target are evaluated once per nucleus and stored. They are then convoluted with an interaction kernel to produce observables. The same densities can be used with different kernels. This method...

$\mu \to e$ conversion in nuclei gives one of the leading limits on BSM lepton-flavor violating (LFV) processes.
