We describe the spectra and decays of π+π-and π±K∓atoms within a non-relativistic effective field theory. The evaluations of the energy shifts and widths are performed at next-to-leading order in isospin symmetry breaking. The prediction for the lifetime of the π±K∓atom in its ground-state yields τ10=(3.7±0.4)·10-15s .

We re-examine the possibility of large hierarchical symmetry breaking in the effective field theory of Calabi-Yau compactified superstring. We introduce the general superpotential containing the allowed moduli couplings. In certain manifolds one-loop radiative correction gives the non-trivial minimum and that solution suggests the possibility of large hierarchical symmetry breaking. To realize such a large hierarchy, it seems to require that 27(h2,1 + h1,1) > 48π2 and H1 ( End T) chiral superfields should have certain types of couplings to moduli fields.

Abstract With the long-standing tension between experiment and Standard-Model (SM) prediction in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμ recently reaffirmed by the Fermilab experiment, the crucial question becomes which other observables could be sensitive to the underlying physics beyond the SM to which aμ may be pointing. While from the effective field theory (EFT) point of view no direct correlations exist, this changes in specific new physics models. In particular, in the case of explanations involving heavy new particles above the electroweak (EW) scale with chiral enhancement, which are preferred to evade exclusion limits from direct searches, correlations with other observables sensitive to EW symmetry breaking are expected. Such scenarios can be classified according to the SU(2)L representations and the hypercharges of the new particles. We match the resulting class of models with heavy new scalars and fermions onto SMEFT and study the resulting correlations with h → μμ and Z → μμ decays, where, via SU(2)L symmetry, the latter process is related to Z → νν and modified W-μ-ν couplings.

Abstract The axion is much lighter than all other degrees of freedom introduced by the Peccei-Quinn mechanism to solve the strong CP problem. It is therefore natural to use an effective field theory (EFT) to describe its interactions. Loop processes calculated in the EFT may however explicitly depend on the ultraviolet cutoff. In general, the UV cutoff is not uniquely defined, but the dimensionful couplings suggest to identify it with the Peccei-Quinn symmetry-breaking scale. An example are K+ → π+ + a decays that will soon be tested to improved precision in NA62 and KOTO and whose amplitude is dominated by the term logarithmically dependent on the cutoff. In this paper, we critically examine the adequacy of using such a naive EFT approach to study loop processes by comparing EFT calculations with ones performed in complete QCD axion models. In DFSZ models, for example, the cutoff is found to be set by additional Higgs degrees of freedom and to therefore be much closer to the electroweak scale than to the Peccei-Quinn scale. In fact, there are non-trivial requirements on axion models where the cutoff scale of loop processes is close to the Peccei-Quinn scale, such that the naive EFT result is reproduced. This suggests that the existence of a suitable UV embedding may impose restrictions on axion EFTs. We provide an explicit construction of a model with suitable fermion couplings and find promising prospects for NA62 and IAXO.
