Organization:
Focus Group Physics with Effective Field Therories
Dr. Andreas Kronfeld, Fermilab (TUM-IAS Hans Fischer Senior Fellow)
Prof. Nora Brambilla, Physics Department, TUM (TUM-IAS Host)
Objective:
The aim of this symposium is to bring together practitioners in lattice gauge theory with experts in (continuum) effective field theories. We plan to explore how EFTs can broaden the range of application of numerical simulations and, conversely, how lattice gauge theory results can enhance the predictive power of EFTs.
We aim to discuss the following topics (among others):
- Effective theories for heavy quarks
- Future of chiral perturbation theory
- Physics results for flavor physics and Standard Model parameters
- QED in a finite spacetime volume
- Hadronic contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment
- Nucleon properties and physics beyond the Standard Model (including neutrino physics)
- Connections between the gradient flow and effective field theory
