<b>Resolving New Physics with Theoretical Study of QCD and Hadron
Structure</b> <br>
<br>
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.
