Lattice QCD for Fundamental Symmetry Tests of the Standard Model in Nuclear Environments
ORAL · Invited
Abstract
Low-energy precision tests of the Standard Model offer competitive and complimentary means to search for new physics as compared to direct searches through colliders. Such searches look for violations of fundamental symmetries for the Standard Model, such as neutrinoless double beta decay, or small deviations from Standard Model predictions, such as with nucleon and nuclear beta decay. In both cases, our ability to predict the Standard Model background and processes, directly from quarks and gluons, may be essential for interpreting the experimental results, or lack thereof, in terms of sources of new physics. I will present an overview of the status of lattice QCD applications to this research program.
