Low energy precision tests of fundamental symmetries provide excellent probes for the Beyond Standard Model Physics. Theoretical interpretations of these experiments often involve the application of non-perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics in the study of hadronic matrix elements that may either serve as signals of new physics or Standard Model backgrounds. In this work I present a series of studies on different hadronic matrix elements using various low-energy effective approaches to Quantum Chromodynamics, and discuss the impact of these studies on our knowledge of Standard Model and Beyond Standard Model physics.

In this thesis several novel techniques are developed to simulate fusion events in an isotropic, electrostatic three-dimensional Deuterium-Tritium plasma. These techniques allow us to accurately predict three-dimensional collision events with a one-dimensional model while simultaneously reducing compute time via a nearest neighbor algorithm. Furthermore, a fusion model based on first principles is developed that yields an average fusion reactivity which correlates well with empirical results.
