We study the photoproduction helicity amplitudes of negative parity baryons in the context of the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD. A complete analysis to next-to-leading order is carried out. The results show sub-leading effects to be within the…
Combining strong coupling and hopping expansion one can derive a dimensionally reduced effective theory of lattice QCD. This theory has a reduced sign problem, is amenable to analytic evaluation and was successfully used to study the cold…
The application of effective field theories to hadronic parity violation in two- and three-nucleon systems is described. These methods provide several important advantages over the traditionally used meson-exchange models, e.g., model…
We formulate the standard model with an arbitrary number of colors N_c. The cancellation of Witten's global SU(2)_L anomaly requires N_c to be odd, while the cancellation of triangle anomalies determines the consistent N_c-dependent values…
We construct the effective Hamiltonian for hadronic parity violation in strangeness-nonchanging ($\Delta S=0$) processes in next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD, for all isosectors, and at a renormalization scale of 2 GeV, thus extending our…
Recent proposals for the use of light nuclei as dark matter direct detection targets necessitate a strong theoretical understanding of the nuclear physics involved. We perform relevant calculations for dark matter-light nucleus scattering…
We consider parity-violating observables from the processes $\vec n p\to d \gamma$ and $ np \to d \overset {\circlearrowleft}{\gamma}$. We perform calculations using pionless effective field theory both with and without explicit dibaryon…
Discretization artifacts proportional to the quark mass can limit the precision of strong-coupling determinations in lattice QCD, especially in the presence of heavy quarks. In this work, we perform a lattice perturbative analysis of such…
We perform Bayesian model calibration of two-nucleon ($NN$) low-energy constants (LECs) appearing in an $NN$ interaction based on pionless effective field theory (EFT). The calibration is carried out for potentials constructed using naive…
The generalization of QCD to many colors is not unique; each distinct choice corresponds to a distinct 1/N_c expansion. The familiar 't Hooft N_c -> \infty limit places quarks in the fundamental representation of SU(N_c), while an…
We study the dependence on the number of colors of the leading pi pi scattering amplitude in chiral dynamics. We demonstrate the existence of a critical number of colors for and above which the low energy pi pi scattering amplitude computed…
Higher derivative field theories with interactions raise serious doubts about their validity due to severe energy instabilities. In many cases the implementation of a direct perturbation treatment to excise the dangerous negative-energies…
There exist two deformations of standard electrodynamics that describe Lorentz symmetry violation in the photon sector: CPT-odd Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory and CPT-even modified Maxwell theory. In this article, we focus on the parity-odd…
We analyze the photo-production helicity amplitudes for the positive parity excited baryons in the context of the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD. The results show that sub-leading corrections in $1/N_c$ are important and that, while 1-body…
We study the radiative leptonic $B_c\to \gamma\ell\bar\nu$ decays in the nonrelativistic QCD effective field theory, and consider a fast-moving photon. As a result the interactions with the heavy quarks can be integrated out, and thus we…
We present the first lattice study of pion-pion scattering with varying number of colors, $N_\text{c}$. We use lattice simulations with four degenerate quark flavors, $N_\text{f}=4$, and $N_\text{c}=3-6$. We focus on two scattering channels…
We study Quantum Chromodynamics in the chiral large $N_c$ limit which contains a left-handed Weyl fermion in the fundamental representation, a left-handed Weyl fermion in the two index antisymmetric representation and $(N_c-3)$ left-handed…
We present preliminary results from our calculation of the low energy constants (LECs) of the chiral effective theory for 3, 4 and 5 color QCD with $N_f=2$ dynamical fermion flavors. We simulate with clover fermions over a range of lattice…
We study the scaling of meson-meson scattering amplitudes with the number of colors, $N_\text{c}$. We use lattice calculations in a theory with $N_\text{f}=4$ degenerate flavors, with $N_\text{c}=3-6$ and pion mass $M_\pi\approx 560$ MeV.…
We study the leptonic CP violation by employing the complete set of dimension-six pure leptonic effective operators. Connection among the observable at different energy scales can be made by the running of the renormalization group…
