We develop an effective field theory approach for the $S$-wave quarkonium-nucleon system. We adopt a natural power counting equivalent to Weinberg's power counting in nucleon-nucleon effective field theories and compute the…
The latest Planck results reconfirm the existence of a slight but chronic tension between the best-fit Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and low-redshift observables: power seems to be consistently lacking in the late universe across a…

We investigate charmonium production in the hot medium created by heavy-ion collisions by setting up a framework in which in-medium charmonium properties are constrained by thermal lattice QCD (lQCD) and subsequently implemented into…
We establish radiative stability of generalized Proca effective field theories. While standard powercounting arguments would conclude otherwise, we find non-trivial cancellations of leading order corrections by explicit computation of…
We present a new computation of S-wave color-singlet nonrelativistic QCD matrix elements for the J/psi and the eta_c. We compute the matrix elements of leading order in the heavy-quark velocity v and the matrix elements of relative order…
A thorough study reveals that the only key parameter for $\psi$ ($J/\psi$, $\psi'$) polarization is the ratio $\langle O^\psi(^3S_1^{[8]})\rangle/\langle O^\psi(^3P_0^{[8]})\rangle$, if the velocity scaling rule holds. The fit of the yield…
Hadronic tau decay precision data are analyzed with account of both perturbative and power corrections of high orders within QCD. It is found that contributions of high order power corrections are essential for extracting a numerical value…
We find that single spin asymmetries in NRQCD are non-vanishing in general. They are proportional to the imaginary parts of some non-perturbative matrix elements. With statistics of about 10^6 identified J/psi's, or 10^5 identified chi_2,…

When matter fields are included in chiral perturbation theory, the nonvanishing mass in the chiral limit introduces a new energy scale so that the loop diagrams including such matter field propagators spoil the usual power counting.…
