Description
The search for beyond-the-Standard Model physics is typically associated to large collider experiments. On the other hand, low-energy precision experiments provide a complementary path to answer major open questions in particle physics and cosmology. The success of this program depends on the interplay of high-precision experiments and high-precision theoretical calculations. This is often complicated because experiments use complex systems such as hadrons, nuclei, atoms, or even molecules. In this talk I will discuss how effective field theory techniques can be used to facilitate such calculations focusing on 2 examples of promising precision experiments: neutrinoless double beta decays and electric dipole moments.
