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