In this talk I review some general ideas of effective field theory and give examples of high precision calculations which have astrophysical applications. The examples are np→dγ for big-bang nucleosynthesis and νd inelastic scattering relevant for the solar neutrino detection processes employed by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory.

The Universe

Current theories that seek to unify gravity with the other fundamental interactions suggest that spatial and temporal variation of fundamental constants is a possibility, or even a necessity, in an expanding Universe. Several studies have tried to probe the values of constants at earlier stages in the evolution of the Universe, using tools such as big-bang nucleosynthesis, the Oklo natural nuclear reactor, quasar absorption spectra, and atomic clocks (see, e.g. Flambaum & Berengut (2009)).

The Right

We apply the empirical quark mass matrices to the lepton sector and study the solar neutrino problem and the atmospheric vμ deficit problem simultaneously. We show that their consistent explanation is possible on the basis of these matrices. The lepton sector mass matrices need the phase structure which is different from the ones of the quark sector. However, even if the phase structure of the mass matrices is identical in both sectors, an interesting suppression mechanism of sin 2 2θ12 which is related to the solar neutrino problem can be induced from the right-handed neutrino Majorana mass matrix. We discuss such a possibility through the concrete examples.
