We show that only 10 (17) CP-odd operators of the SMEFT give the leading, i.e. least suppressed by the new physics scale, CP-violating contributions once we assume that all fermions are massless but the top (and bottom) quark(s). We start…
Strong interaction $\Lambda\pi$ phase shifts relevant for the weak nonleptonic decay $\Xi \rightarrow \Lambda \pi$ are calculated using baryon chiral perturbation theory. We find in leading order that the S-wave phase shift vanishes and the…

It is known that the Schwinger mechanism of vector-like QED theory is afflicted by a logarithmic singularity under background electromagnetic field due to a hypothetical massless charged fermion. We extend singularity analysis to a more…
We focus on a powerful aspect of chiral perturbation theory (chi PT) which provides us with a ``bridge'' over different reactions. For this purpose, we study a contact operator which contributes p-wave pi-production and several weak…
We investigate the effect of screening of the four-quarks contact interactions by the ring diagram at finite temperature and density in an effective chiral model inspired by QCD in the Coulomb gauge. As a consequence, a medium-dependent…
The chiral crossover of QCD at finite temperature and vanishing baryon density turns into a second order phase transition if lighter than physical quark masses are considered. If this transition occurs sufficiently close to the physical…
