Description
Neutron-antineutron oscillation is a baryon number violating process that is predicted to occur in many theories of physics beyond the standard model. To make quantitative predictions that can be compared to experiment, matrix elements of six-quark effective operators must be computed via lattice QCD and must also be connected to continuum beyond the standard model operators. We present preliminary work on computing operator renormalization and lattice-continuum matching factors to facilitate this connection for neutron-antineutron oscillation operators.
