Observations of high energy neutrinos, both in the laboratory and from cosmic sources, can be a useful probe in searching for new physics. Such observations can provide sensitive tests of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), which may be a…
We discuss the treatment, in an effective field theory, of multi-particle correlations within a "large" system. We show that the act of coarse-graining necessarily introduces violations of unitarity in the evolution of states where the…

The parity-violating nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential is considered up to next-to-next-to leading order in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. We include one-pion exchange at leading order and the two-pion exchange and two-nucleon…
We present a simple introduction to the techniques of effective field theory (EFT) and their application to QCD. For problems with more than one energy scale, the EFT approach is a useful alternative to more traditional model-building…

Macro-coherent atomic de-excitation involving a neutrino pair emission, radiative emission of neutrino pair (RENP) $|e\rangle \rightarrow |g\rangle + \gamma +\nu_i \nu_j$ (with $\gamma$ a photon and $\nu_i$ a neutrino mass eigenstate), is a…
The role of relativistic corrections associated with lower Dirac components of the deuteron wavefunction, is examined for parity-violating (PV) electron scattering. The relation between these corrections and negative energy components of…

Effective field theory, including pions, provides a consistent and systematic description of nucleon-nucleon strong interactions up to center-of-mass momentum of order 300 MeV per nucleon. We describe the inclusion of hadronic parity…

We treat low-energy $^3$He-$\alpha$ elastic scattering in an Effective Field Theory (EFT) that exploits the separation of scales in this reaction. We compute the amplitude up to Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO), developing a hierarchy…
The status of the field of nuclear parity violation---both experimental and theoretical---is reviewed, with special emphasis on those results which have been obtained since the 1985 review article by Adelberger and Haxton.
We present an improved action for Pionless Effective Field Theory (EFT). Previous formulations of renormalizable nuclear EFTs have encountered instabilities in systems with more than four nucleons. We resolve this issue by introducing a…

We perform a global analysis of the bounds from charged lepton flavour violating observables to new physics. We parametrize generic new physics through the Effective Field Theory formalism and perform global fits beyond the common…
