Effective description of Nelson-Barr models and the theta parameter
Nelson-Barr theories solve the strong CP problem with CP spontaneously broken at Λ_{CP} and transmitted to the CP conserving version of the SM through vector-like quarks (VLQs). For an arbitrary number of CP breaking scalars and VLQs, we perform the full one-loop matching calculations at Λ_{CP} up to dimension five operators and the relevant matching calculations at the VLQ scale relevant to tracking the contributions to the parameter \barθ. In the EFT after the CP breaking scalars have been…

Ich bin an dem Punkt, wo ich einfach gern eine halbwegs funktionierende freiheitlich-demokratische, rechtsstaatliche Regierung hätte. Wo diese mit meinen persönlichen Überzeugungen und Vorstellungen übereinstimmt, ist mir inzwischen (beinahe) egal.

Plex has tried to trick me twice in the last month into agreeing to the abusive data sharing agreement that I first refused in March.

Went down to our small town Fourth of July parade in Grass Valley, CA. It was kinda nice. I'm feeling very ambiguous about patriotism right now but I am American and I love many things about my country.

The website for my rice cooker has one of those annoying cookie popup things. And then this absolute joy when you tell it "no ad cookies". It took over 30 seconds to commit and let me read a recipe.
