Explore non-relativistic effective field theories in this second lecture delivered by Abhishek Mohapatra as part of the School for Advanced Topics in Particle Physics (SATPP) program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the systematic framework for describing physics at specific energy scales using only relevant degrees of freedom, focusing on non-relativistic systems where particle velocities are much smaller than the speed of light. Learn how these theoretical tools provide essential methods for understanding low-energy phenomena in quantum field theory, from atomic and nuclear physics to condensed matter systems. Gain technical expertise in constructing and applying non-relativistic EFTs, building upon fundamental quantum field theory concepts to develop practical computational tools for analyzing physical systems where relativistic effects can be systematically neglected. This advanced-level presentation targets postdoctoral fellows, mature PhD students, and faculty members seeking to broaden their expertise in effective field theory methods, providing both theoretical foundations and practical applications essential for modern theoretical particle physics research.
