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
Effective field theory allows for a systematic and model-independent derivation of the forces
between nucleons in harmony with the symmetries of quantum chromodynamics. The …

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-
energy properties that do not depend on the details of their structure or their interactions at …

Conformality lost

DB Kaplan, JW Lee, DT Son, MA Stephanov - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2009 - APS
We consider zero-temperature transitions from conformal to nonconformal phases in
quantum theories. We argue that there are three generic mechanisms for the loss of …

The problem of renormalization of chiral nuclear forces

U Van Kolck - Frontiers in Physics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Ever since quantum field theory was first applied to the derivation of nuclear forces in the
mid-twentieth century, the renormalization of pion exchange with realistic couplings has …

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
applied to the tensor one-pion exchange potential to determine the regions in which it can …

Quantum dots and cuboid quantum wells in fractal dimensions with position-dependent masses

RA El-Nabulsi, W Anukool - Applied Physics A, 2021 - Springer
In this study, we have constructed a generalized Schrödinger equation in fractal dimensions
characterized by an effective potential which is generated by a position-dependent mass …

Effective field theory for the bound states and scattering of a heavy charged particle and a neutral atom

D Odell, DR Phillips, U van Kolck - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We show the system of a heavy charged particle and a neutral atom can be described by a
low-energy effective field theory where the attractive 1/r 4 induced dipole potential …

“Renormalization-group-invariant effective field theory” for few-nucleon systems is cutoff dependent

AM Gasparyan, E Epelbaum - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
We consider nucleon-nucleon scattering using the formulation of chiral effective field theory
which is claimed to be renormalization group invariant. The cornerstone of this framework is …

Regularization of the singular inverse square potential in quantum mechanics with a minimal length

D Bouaziz, M Bawin - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2007 - APS
We study the problem of the attractive inverse square potential in quantum mechanics with a
generalized uncertainty relation. Using the momentum representation, we show that this …
