Abstract: I will discuss ongoing efforts to understand the structure of
amplitudes involving nuclei with an eye towards particle physics
phenomenology. This program of research is motivated by near-term
experiments including DUNE, T2K, CEvNS, Mu2e, LDMX, NA64, and tests of
first-row CKM unitarity violation. I will focus largely on QED
corrections, and how using effective field theory techniques can
simplify calculations.
