The pattern of chiral symmetry breaking is exploited to compute vector and axial-vector pion matrix elements in a uniform magnetic field. Our results are model independent, and thereby constitute low-energy theorems that must be obeyed by…

A serious difficulty in conventional lattice field theory calculations is the coupling between the chiral and continuum limits. With both staggered and Wilson fermions, the chiral limit cannot be realized without first taking the limit of…
We report a search for a lepton-portal dark matter model, where dark matter couples to a charged lepton in the standard model. This simplified model naturally leads to photon-mediated dark matter interactions with nuclei, making it suitable…
We consider scenarios in which dark matter is a Majorana fermion which couples to Standard Model fermions through the exchange of charged mediating particles. The matrix elements for various dark matter annihilation processes are then…
In a model where constituent quarks and diquarks interact through quark exchange the Bethe-Salpeter equation in ladder approximation for the nucleon is solved. Quark and diquark confinement is effectively parametrized by choosing…
In framework of the chiral perturbation theory we obtain the phenomenological relations between decay branches of rare radiative kaon to pion and leptons $K^+ \to \pi^+ l^+ l^-$ and $K^0_S \to \pi^0 l^+ l^-$ and meson form factors. The…
Using domain wall fermions, we estimate $B_K(\mu\approx 2 GeV)=0.628(47)$ in quenched QCD which is consistent with previous calculations. At $\gbeta=6.0$ and 5.85 we find the ratio $f_K/m_\rho$ in agreement with the experimental value,…
We focus on the chiral Lagrangian couplings describing radiative corrections to weak semi-leptonic decays and relate them to the decay amplitude of a lepton, computed by Braaten and Li at one loop in the Standard Model. For this purpose, we…
The nuclear matrix elements that govern the rate of neutrinoless double beta decay must be accurately calculated if experiments are to reach their full potential. Theorists have been working on the problem for a long time but have recently…
We investigate a recent proposal to construct chiral gauge theories on the lattice using domain wall fermions. We restrict ourselves to the finite volume case, in which two domain walls are present, with modes of opposite chirality on each…

We study thermodynamics of nuclear matter in a two-flavored parity doublet model within the mean field approximation. Parameters of the model are chosen to reproduce correctly the properties of the nuclear ground state. The model predicts…
The motivation for the search for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay is briefly reviewed. It is stressed that the exchange of light Majorana neutrinos is not the only possible mechanism of the decay. The link between lepton number and lepton flavor…
A general Lorentz--invariant parameterization for the long-range part of the $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay rate is derived. Combined with the short range part this general parameterization in terms of effective $B-L$ violating couplings will allow…
We discuss an investigation of the dark matter decay modes of the neutron, proposed by Fornal and Grinstein (Phys. Rev. Lett. 120 191801 (2018)) and Ivanov et al. ( arXiv:1806.10107 [hep-ph]) for solution of the neutron lifetime anomaly…
We review here the physics of purely leptonic decays of pi-, K-, D+, Ds+, and B- pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak interaction based CKM matrix element of the constituent quarks…
