Explore fundamental physics with nuclei in this comprehensive lecture by Prof. Saori Pastore from Washington University in St. Louis. Delve into the world of next-generation experiments aimed at exploring lepton-number violation, discerning neutrino mass hierarchy, and understanding dark matter. Learn how nuclei are crucial for high-precision tests of the Standard Model and searches for physics Beyond the Standard Model. Discover the importance of understanding nuclear properties, including electroweak structure and reactions, for interpreting experimental data and distinguishing new physics signals from underlying nuclear effects. Gain insights into the use of chiral effective field theory and Quantum Monte Carlo methods to solve nuclear structure and dynamics problems. Examine recent progress in Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of electron and neutrino interactions with nuclei across various energy and momentum transfer ranges. Understand the connections between these calculations and current experimental efforts in fundamental symmetries and neutrino physics. This theoretical physics colloquium, part of a series hosted by Prof. Igor Shovkovy at Arizona State University, offers a high-quality, interactive presentation on current advances in theoretical physics by an active researcher in the field.
