Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

The past seventeen years have witnessed tremendous progress on the experimental and
theoretical explorations of the multiquark states. The hidden-charm and hidden-bottom …

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 …

During the past two decades, chiral effective field theory has evolved into a powerful tool to
derive nuclear forces from first principles. Nearly all two-nucleon interactions have been …

We present NN potentials through five orders of chiral effective field theory ranging from
leading order (LO) to next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N 4 LO). The construction …

We introduce new semilocal two-nucleon potentials up to fifth order in the chiral expansion.
We employ a simple regularization approach for the pion exchange contributions which i) …

We present an efficient Monte Carlo framework for perturbative calculations of infinite
nuclear matter based on chiral two-, three-, and four-nucleon interactions. The method …

We present improved nucleon-nucleon potentials derived in chiral effective field theory up to
next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order. We argue that the nonlocal momentum-space …

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 …

We present a nucleon-nucleon potential at fifth order in chiral effective field theory. We find a
substantial improvement in the description of nucleon-nucleon phase shifts as compared to …
