We show that a modification of the model with a low energy scalar leptoquark state carrying hypercharge $Y=7/6$ allows to accommodate both $R_K<1$ and $R_{K^\ast}<1$, through loop effects, consistent with recent observations made at LHCb.…
We develop the idea that renormalization, decoupling of heavy particle effects from low energy physics and the construction of effective field theories are intimately linked to the momentum space entanglement of disparate modes of an…
We discuss the Sudakov form factor in the framework of the soft-collinear effective theory. The running of the short distance coefficient function from high to low scale gives the summation of Sudakov logarithms to all orders. Our…
In this talk an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within and beyond the Standard Model is presented. Combining new form factor determinations from lattice QCD with light-cone sum rule…
We investigate the Standard Model (SM) extended with a colored charged scalar, leptoquark, having fractional electromagnetic charge $-1/3$. We mostly focus on the decays of the leptoquark into second and third generations via $c\,\mu, t\,…
Based on the standard model (SM) of particle physics, we study the decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \ell^+ \ell^-$ in light of the available inputs from lattice and the data from LHCb. We fit the form-factors of this decay mode using the…
Recent progress in Lorentz-covariant quantum field theories of the nuclear many-body problem (quantum hadrodynamics or QHD) is discussed. The effective field theory studied here contains nucleons, pions, isoscalar scalar (\sigma) and vector…
Effective field theory provides a perturbative framework to study the evolution of cosmological large-scale structure. We investigate the underpinnings of this approach, and suggest new ways to compute correlation functions of cosmological…
We consider renormalization of effective field theory interactions by discretizing the continuum on a tight-binding lattice. After studying the one-dimensional problem, we address s-wave collisions in three dimensions and relate the bare…
We analyzed the results for finite nuclei and infinite nuclear and neutron matter using the standard $\sigma-\omega$ model and with the effective field theory. For the first time, we have shown here quantitatively that the inclusion of…
Heavy vector-like quarks (VLQs) appear in many models of beyond the Standard Model physics. Direct experimental searches require these new quarks to be heavy, $\gsim$ 800-1000 GeV. We perform a global fit of the parameters of simple VLQ…
We discuss a model that can accommodate the $B$-physics anomalies, based on combining two scalar leptoquarks, $R_2$ and $S_3$, of mass $\mathcal{O}(1\,\mathrm{TeV})$, and that we proposed in our previous paper. We update the analysis of its…
We formulate an effective field theory description for SU(2)$_L$ triplet fermionic dark matter by combining nonrelativistic dark matter with gauge bosons in the soft-collinear effective theory. For a given dark matter mass, the annihilation…
The LHC has confirmed the existence of a mass gap between the known particles and possible new states. Effective field theory is then the appropriate tool to search for low-energy signals of physics beyond the Standard Model. We adopt the…
It is argued that soft-collinear effective theory for processes involving both soft and collinear partons, such as exclusive B-meson decays, should include a new mode in addition to soft and collinear fields. These "soft-collinear…
Purely leptonic $B$ meson decays provide unique probes for physics Beyond the Standard Model. We study the impact of a scalar leptoquark, $S_1$, on $B \to \mu \bar\nu$ decay. We find that, for $m_{S_1}\sim 1$ TeV, the $S_1$ leptoquark can…
The factorization of soft and ultrasoft gluons from collinear particles is shown at the level of operators in an effective field theory. Exclusive hadronic factorization and inclusive partonic factorization follow as special cases. The…
These lectures aim to provide a pedagogical introduction to the philosophical underpinnings and technical features of Effective Field Theory (EFT). Improving control of $S$-matrix elements in the presence of a large hierarchy of physical…
This study examines the rare decay $B \to K_0^*(1430)\,\ell^+ \ell^-$ as a possible probe for new physics beyond the standard model (SM). We first analyze this channel within the SM and then include scalar leptoquark (LQ) contributions. We…
The rare $\tau^- \to \eta^{(\prime)} \pi^- \nu_\tau$ decays, which are suppressed by $G$-parity in the Standard Model (SM), can be sensitive to the effects of new interactions. We study the sensitivity of different observables of these…
