The field of scattering amplitudes plays a central role in elementary-particle physics. This includes various problems of broader interest for collider physics, gravitational physics, and fundamental principles underlying quantum field…
This is the first part of lectures about effective field theories. Decoupling of heavy-particle loops is considered (heavy leptons in QED, heavy quarks in QCD).
Neutrino scattering at low energies is essential for a variety of timely applications potentially having fundamental implications, e.g. unraveling unknown neutrino properties, such as the third neutrino mixing angle, the detection of the…
Introductory lectures (delivered at the VI Mexican School of Particles and Fields) on heavy quarks and heavy quark effective field theory. Applications to inclusive semileptonic decays and to interactions with light mesons are covered in…
In this talk I describe a recently introduced field-theoretical approach that can be used as an alternative framework to study one-dimensional systems of highly correlated particles.
In these lectures I first explain, in a rather basic fashion, the construction of effective field theories. I then discuss some recent developments in the application of such theories to two- and three-nucleon systems.
