An Effective Lagrangian description is useful for describing potential physics beyond the Standard Model. The method is illustrated by reference to interactions among the electroweak bosons ($W^\pm$ \& $Z^0$). The resulting estimates of the…
We discuss the application of an effective theory with contact interactions to the non-relativistic four-body system with short-range interactions. We have computed the binding energies of the 4He tetramer and the alpha-particle. A…
We extend a tight-binding total energy method to include f-electrons, and apply it to the study of the structural and elastic properties of a range of elements from Be to U. We find that the tight-binding parameters are as accurate and…
Weak values and measurements have been proposed as means to achieve dramatic enhancements in metrology based on the greatly increased range of possible measurement outcomes. Unfortunately, the very large values of measurement outcomes occur…
We have measured the binding energy of $^7$Li Feshbach molecules deep into the non-universal regime by associating free atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate by modulating the magnetic field. We extract the scattering length from these…
Atomic high-precision measurements have become a competitive and essential technique for tests of fundamental physics, the Standard Model, and our theory of gravity. It is therefore self-evident that such measurements call for a consistent…
We compute the weak lensing convergence power spectrum, $C^{\kappa\kappa}(\theta)$, in a dust-filled universe using fully non-linear general relativistic simulations. The spectrum is then compared to more standard, approximate calculations…

The consistent description of the nuclear response at low and high momentum transfer requires a unified dynamical model, suitable to account for both short- and long-range correlation effects. We report the results of a study of the charged…
The hadron resonance gas (HRG) model and its extensions are often used to describe the hadronic phase of strongly interacting matter. In our work we use lattice-QCD simulations with temporal extents of $N_\tau=8,10$ and $12$ to quantify…
Diquark correlations are important in baryons, which can be modeled as quark-diquark bound states. In addition, diquarks could play a role in non-standard hadrons such as tetraquarks and pentaquarks. Here, we obtain properties of these…

We propose the difference weak measurement scheme, and illustrate its advantages for measuring small longitude phase-shift in high precision. Compared to the standard interferometry and standard weak measurement schemes, the proposed scheme…
We model weak gravitational lensing of light by large-scale structure using ray tracing through N-body simulations. The method is described with particular attention paid to numerical convergence. We investigate some of the key…
We review the current status of theories and experiments aiming at an understanding and a determination of the properties of light vector and scalar mesons inside strongly interacting hadronic matter. Starting from a discussion of the…
We consider a confining Yang-Mills theory without Goldstone Bosons which could describe the bosonic sector of the weak interactions. This model can be gauge invariantly regularized on a lattice. A strong coupling analysis of the low lying…
Studies of the effects of the weak interaction in atomic systems provide tests of the Standard Model of particle physics, and explore physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model. In addition, these studies can offer valuable insights into…
We study the compositeness of unstable hadrons which lie near the two-hadron threshold. In the framework of the effective field theory, we derive the relation between the compositeness of stable bound states with observables. We then extend…
