Two recently proposed approaches to the study of the electroweak phase transition are discussed.
The present work aims to describe, within a single phenomenological approach, the specific sequence of phase transitions observed in the rare-earth manganites RMnO3 at zero magnetic field. It is shown that a single integrated description of…

Notes from 11 October 2004 lecture presented at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics R-Matrix School at Notre Dame University.
We have two aims. The main one is to expound the idea of renormalization in quantum field theory, with no technical prerequisites (Sections 2 and 3). Our motivation is that renormalization is undoubtedly one of the great ideas, and great…
With these proceedings, we present both a review of the experimental and theoretical information on quark-mixing with focus on the first quark generation. The papers present new findings on these topics in the context of what is known so…
The Electromagnetic and Hadronic Physics sub-community of nuclear physics held a town hall meeting at Jefferson Lab during November 30 to December 4 of 2000. This is is our combined contribution to the white paper that will result from this…
An elementary introduction to perturbative renormalization and renormalization group is presented. No prior knowledge of field theory is necessary because we do not refer to a particular physical theory. We are thus able to disentangle what…
Pocket guide to Terra Incognita of the ``Planisphaerium Neutrinorum'' (http://www.ba.infn.it/~now2004/) by Eligio Lisi. Includes a survival kit for the Ue3 territory and a first-aid package for the case of maximal atmospheric mixing angle.

This work is devoted to the reconstruction of the initial temperature in the backward heat equation using the space-time finite element method on fully unstructured space-time simplicial meshes proposed by Steinbach (2015). Such a severely…
For well over half a century, precision studies of neutron and nuclear $\beta$ decays have been at the forefront of searches for exotic electroweak physics. Recent advances in nuclear ab initio theory and the widespread use of effective…

This paper is a slightly modified version of the introductory part of a doctoral dissertation also containing the articles hep-ph/0311268, hep-ph/0510375, hep-ph/0512177 and hep-ph/0701250. The thesis discusses effective field theory…
Techniques of zero-temperature field theory that have found application in the analysis of field theory at finite temperature are revisited. Specifically, several of the results that are discussed are relevant to the study of…
We study symmetry restoration at finite temperature in the theory of a charged scalar field interacting with a constant, external magnetic field. We compute the finite temperature effective potential including the contribution from ring…
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…
The influence of a random environment on the dynamics of a fluctuating rough surface is investigated using a field theoretic renormalization group. The environment motion is modelled by the stochastic Navier--Stokes equation, which includes…
The Lee-Wick Standard Model at temperatures near electroweak scale is considered, with the aim of studying the electroweak phase transition. While Lee-Wick theories possess states of negative norm, they are not pathological but instead are…
