*Resolving New Physics with Theoretical Study of QCD and Hadron Structure*

Standard Model of particle physics has been overwhelmingly successful in 
describing phenomena in nuclear and particle physics. However, there are 
strong indications that Standard Model is incomplete, and searches for 
New Physics embrace astrophysics, collider experiments and precision 
tests at low energies. The latter field consists in very precise 
measurements in atomic, nuclear, hadronic and neutrino physics and in 
comparing them to theoretical predictions from Standard Model. Targets 
and detectors in these low-energy experiments are made of protons and 
neutrons whose structure is described by QCD. Understanding it in detail 
is necessary for advancing our knowledge of Standard Model and 
providing theory support to low-energy searches. On the example of light 
muonic atoms, parity-violating electron scattering and processes 
involving neutrinos I review the joined effort embracing theory and 
phenomenology of strong interaction and searches for Standard Model 
extensions at low energy.
