Nuclear effective field theory: status and perspectives

HW Hammer, S König, U Van Kolck - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
The nuclear-physics landscape has been redesigned as a sequence of effective field
theories (EFTs) connected to the standard model through symmetries and lattice simulations …

Modern theory of nuclear forces

E Epelbaum, HW Hammer, UG Meißner - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2009 - APS

Universality in few-body systems with large scattering length

E Braaten, HW Hammer - Physics Reports, 2006 - Elsevier
Particles with short-range interactions and a large scattering length have universal low-

Colloquium: Three-body forces: From cold atoms to nuclei

HW Hammer, A Nogga, A Schwenk - Reviews of modern physics, 2013 - APS
It is often assumed that few-and many-body systems can be accurately described by
considering only pairwise two-body interactions of the constituents. We illustrate that three …

Power counting with one-pion exchange

MC Birse - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2006 - APS
Techniques developed for handing inverse-power-law potentials in atomic physics are

Nuclear physics around the unitarity limit

S König, HW Grießhammer, HW Hammer, U van Kolck - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We argue that many features of the structure of nuclei emerge from a strictly perturbative
