The long-range, parity-odd nucleon interaction generated by single pion exchange is captured in the parity-odd pion-nucleon coupling $h^1_\pi$. Its calculation in lattice QCD requires the evaluation of 4-quark operator nucleon 3-point…
The electroweak interaction at the level of quarks and gluons are well understood from precision measurements in high energy collider experiments. Relating these fundamental parameters to Hadronic Parity Violation in nuclei however remains…
We examine the formation of bound states on a generalized nonlinear impurity located at or near the beginning (surface) of a linear, tight-binding semi-infinite lattice. Using the formalism of lattice Green functions, we obtain in closed…
The different ground state energies of N-pion and M-kaon systems for N+M <=12 are studied in lattice QCD. These energies are then used to extract the various two- and three- body interactions that occur in these systems. Particular…
The comparison of the theoretical and experimental determinations of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $(g-2)_\mu$ constitutes one of the strongest tests of the Standard Model at low energies. In this article, we compute the leading…

Electromagnetic polarizabilities are important parameters for understanding the interaction between photons and hadrons. For pions these quantities are poorly constrained experimentally since they can only be measured indirectly. New…
We represent QCD at the hadronic scale by means of an effective Hamiltonian, H, formulated in the Coulomb gauge. As in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, chiral symmetry is dynamically broken, however our approach is renormalizable and also…
