The parity-violating nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential is considered up to next-to-next-to leading order in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. We include one-pion exchange at leading order and the two-pion exchange and two-nucleon…
We perform a general analysis of the R-parity conserving dimension-five operators that can be present beyond the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Not all these operators are actually independent. We present a method which employs…
Physics from beyond the Standard Model can induce four fermion operators involving a quark, an anti-quark, a lepton and an anti-lepton. The coefficients of these operators can be constrained by various observations. We update the bounds…

We study a flavour-violating four-fermion interaction in the Lifshitz context, in 3+1 dimensions and with a critical exponent z=3. This model is renormalizable, and features dynamical mass generation, as well as asymptotic freedom. At…
The introduction of a uniform background magnetic field breaks three-dimensional spatial symmetry for a charged particle and introduces Landau mode effects. Standard quark operators are inefficient at isolating the nucleon correlation…

We show that the number of operators in the presently known mesonic chiral Lagrangian of order p^6 in the two-flavour sector can be reduced by at least one from 57 to 56 by providing an explicit relation among the operators. We briefly…
We study the parity-violating effects in $nd\rightarrow$ $^3H\gamma$ process using pionless effective field theory (EFT($//!/!/!/pi$)) at thermal energy. For the weak $NN$ interaction the parity-violating Lagrangian contains five…
Given the most general Lorentz invariant four-fermion effective interaction possible for two neutrinos and two charged fermions, whether quarks or leptons, all possible 2-to-2 processes involving two neutrinos, whether Dirac or Majorana…
Low-energy nuclear interactions have been extensively studied in the framework of chiral effective field theory. The corresponding potentials have been worked out using dimensional regularization to evaluate ultraviolet divergent loop…
Possible non-standard tuZ and tcZ interactions, which induce flavor-changing neutral-current decays of the top quark, are studied in the effective-Lagrangian framework. The corresponding Lagrangian consists of four kinds of non-standard…
We study the contribution from dipole operators to one-loop Fierz identities and provide the resulting QCD and QED shifts to the tree-level relations for all four-fermion operators. The results simplify one-loop basis changes as well as…
We study possible non-standard $tuZ$ and $tcZ$ couplings, which induce flavor-changing neutral-current decays of the top quark, in the effective-Lagrangian framework. The corresponding interaction Lagrangian comes from several $SU(3) \times…
Using effective Lagrangians, we argue that any time-reversal-violating but parity-conserving effects are too small to be observed in flavor-conserving nuclear processes without dramatic improvement in experimental accuracy. In the process…
Using effective field theory we prove inequalities for the correlations of two-nucleon operators in low-energy symmetric nuclear matter. For physical values of operator coefficients in the effective Lagrangian, the S = 1, I = 0 channel…

We study the low energy expansion of the nucleon's electroweak form factors in the framework of an effective chiral Lagrangian including pions, nucleons and the $Delta (1232)$. We work to third order in the so-called small scale expansion…
Baryon number is an accidental symmetry of the Standard Model at the Lagrangian level. Its violation is arguably one of the most compelling phenomena predicted by physics beyond the Standard Model. Furthermore, there is a large experimental…
