SMEFT meets ChEFT:
The core goal of this effective field theory (EFT) workshop is to bring together the Standard Model EFT (SMEFT) and Chiral EFT (ChEFT) communities to discuss the recent advances and current obstacles that lay at the forefront of EFT development. In SMEFT, one utilizes EFTs to explore the effects of Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics in a model independent way, while similar techniques are used in ChEFT to describe strongly interacting systems involving nucleons. The related experimental searches have the potential to address fundamental questions in physics, such as testing fundamental symmetries, the nature of neutrinos, and dark matter as well as the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe.
Interdisciplinary collaboration between SMEFT and ChEFT practitioners is crucial to correctly interpret the results of these experiments. This workshop seeks to strengthen connections and establish communication channels between the communities, facilitate discussion of recent advances and, foster interdisciplinary collaboration in tackling the current challenges at the fields’ interface. This will be especially encouraged by the workshop's mixed schedule consisting of talks and time for discussion.
