Standard Model EFT meets Chiral EFT (SMEFT meets ChEFT)

US/Pacific
Auditorium (TRIUMF)

Description

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.

 

This is an invitation-only event. If you want to participate and were not invited, please contact one of the organizers.

      Colloquium: Chiral EFT meets lattice QCD 1h

      Absrtact: Lattice QCD provides a truly ab-initio approach to the structure and dynamics of hadronic and nuclear systems. I will discuss how this method can be further enhanced by explicitly taking into account long-range pion dynamics that can be described in a systematic and model-independent fashion using chiral EFT. I will show how these ideas allow one to solve the long-standing left-hand cut problem in Lüscher's method for extracting two-body scattering information from finite-volume energy levels. Applications considered include the analysis of lattice QCD data for the two-nucleon and DD* meson systems.
