We investigate the asymptotic distribution of profile likelihood ratio (PLR) when constraining effective field theories (EFTs) and show that Wilks’ theorem is often violated, meaning we should not assume PLR to follow a \chi^2 χ2 -distribution. derive corre...

Effective Field Theories (EFTs) for Goldstone Boson scattering at a low order allow the computation of near–threshold observables in terms few coefficients arranged by counting. As matter principle they should make sense up to an energy scale E ∼ 4πF but expansion powers momentum violates exact elastic unitarity and renders derivative unreliable much lower energies. If new–physics deviations fr...

An effective field theory (EFT) is a theory of the dynamics of a physical system at energies small compared to a given cut-off. Low-energy states with respect to this cut-off are effectively independent of states at high energies; hence one may study the low-energy dynamics without the need for a detailed description of the high-energy dynamics. Many authors have suggested that, because of the ...

The exploration of the phase diagram of dense baryonic matter is an area of intense theoretical and experimental activity. Baryonic systems, from dilute neutron matter at low density to superconducting quark matter at high density, exhibit an enormous variety of many-body effects. Despite its simplicity all these phenomena are ultimately described by the lagrangian of QCD. In practice it is usu...

Yukawa-type interactions between heavy Dirac fermions and a scalar field are common ingredient in various extensions of the Standard Model. Despite that, non-relativistic limit Yukawa theory has not yet been studied full generality rigorous model-independent way. In this paper we intend to fill gap by initiating series investigations that make use modern effective (EFT) techniques. particular, ...

The first part of this talk concerns the application of chiral perturbation theory (CHPT) at unphysical quark masses. More precisely, lattice QCD (LQCD) allows one in principle to calculate hadronic matrix elements ab initio using capability computing on a discretized space-time. To connect to the real world, various extrapolations are necessary: LQCD operates at a finite volume V , at a finite...

The regional controls of biodiversity patterns have been traditionally evaluated using structural and compositional components at the species level, but evaluation of the functional component at the ecosystem level is still scarce. During the last decades, the role of ecosystem functioning in management and conservation has increased. Our aim was to use satellite-derived Ecosystem Functional Ty...

Precise measurements of SM particles properties at the LHC allows to look for heavy New Physics in the context of an Effective Field Theory (EFT). These searches, however, often rely on kinematic regions where the validity of the EFT may be compromised. In this paper we propose to address this issue by comparing with benchmark models. The connection between models and their manifestations as EF...

The purpose of this paper is to set forth the principal issues which face those responsible for decisions affecting the timing and direction of movement toward an electronic funds transfer system (EFTS) in the public and private sectors. Lest the word issue be read as a pale or vague generality, let us understand that we will be talking about the areas of fact or of policy around which there ar...

Abstract Local H_0 determinations currently fall in a window between H 0 ? 70 km/s/Mpc (TRGB) and 76 (Tully-Fisher). In contrast, BAO data calibrated an early ?CDM universe are largely consistent with Planck-?CDM, 67.5 km/s/Mpc. Employing generic two parameter family of evolving equations state (EoS) for dark energy (DE) w DE ( z ) mock data, we demonstrate that if i) = 0) < -1 ii) integrate...
