These lectures cover different aspects of Chiral Lagrangians beyond the lowest order, as well as the implementation of QED and electroweak effects in Chiral Perturbation Theory (CHPT).
This is the plan:

Part-1: Aspects of Chiral Lagrangians beyond the lowest-order:
1.1) Power counting in CHPT
1.2) The role of resonances in CHPT
1.3) Loop expansions vs. dispersive methods

Part-2: How to include electroweak and QED effects in CHPT
2.1) The spurion technique
2.2) Chiral Lagrangians with dynamical photons
2.3) Chiral Lagrangians for weak interactions
2.4) Applications to meson decays

The atomic nucleus is one of the finest laboratories to study a correlated, quantum, many-body system. Since its discovery in 1932 we have learnt a great deal about the structural properties and reaction dynamics of the atomic nuclei. However, not withstanding the enormous body of knowledge, both theoretical and experimental, we still have many challenging questions to answer about the complexities of the atomic nucleus. The basic nature of the nucleon-nucleon interaction continues to be the Holy Grail of Physics. This talk will have two parts. In the first part I will provide an overview of the development of Nuclear Physics from its discovery to the current state of research. In the second I shall introduce the uninitiated to some of the most important topics of current interest which form the frontiers of modern nuclear physics. We will discuss the overarching role of nuclear physics in different branches of physics and practical applications. We will also discuss the current status of research and facilities in India and abroad.

I will discuss the connections between the effective field theory at the weak scale (SMEFT) and those at lower energies. The special focus will be on the phenomenological probes of higher-dimensional SMEFT operators in low-energy precision experiment. Two specific low-energy probes will be discussed in detail: 1) nuclear beta decay, and 2) neutrino scattering and oscillations.

This lecture will be devoted to the real time response of the atomic nucleus to external trigger at finite temperature and angular momentum. We will introduce the basic physics and formalisms to probe the evolution of nuclear structure and reaction dynamics at low and medium energy. We will discuss at length two of the most fascinating collective behaviours of the nucleus, nuclear fission and Giant Resonances.

In this reaction we will discuss the nuclear physics of element formations in the universe at different epochs and sites. We will discuss Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, stellar nucleosynthesis and cataclysmic processes beyond the formation of Iron. We will also introduce methods of direct reactions.
