Chiral effective field theory and nuclear forces
We review how nuclear forces emerge from low-energy QCD via chiral effective field theory.
The presentation is accessible to the non-specialist. At the same time, we also provide …

Spin-parities of the and in the one-boson-exchange model
MZ Liu, TW Wu, MS Sánchez, MP Valderrama… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
The LHCb collaboration has recently observed three pentaquark peaks, the P c (4312), P c
(4440) and P c (4457). They are very close to a pair of heavy baryon-meson thresholds, with …

Using effective field theory to analyse low-energy Compton scattering data from protons and light nuclei
Compton scattering from protons and neutrons provides important insight into the structure
of the nucleon. For photon energies up to about 300 MeV, the process can be parameterised …
