Chiral effective field theory and nuclear forces

R Machleidt, DR Entem - Physics Reports, 2011 - Elsevier
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 …

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 …

Heavy-quark spin and flavor symmetry partners of the revisited: What can we learn from the one boson exchange model?

MZ Liu, TW Wu, M Pavon Valderrama, JJ **e, LS Geng - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
Heavy-quark symmetry as applied to heavy hadron systems implies that their interactions
are independent of their heavy-quark spin (heavy-quark spin symmetry) and heavy flavor …

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 …

Spin-parities of the and in the one-boson-exchange model

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 …

Power counting in chiral effective field theory and nuclear binding

CJ Yang, A Ekström, C Forssén, G Hagen - Physical Review C, 2021 - APS
Chiral effective field theory (χ EFT), as originally proposed by Weinberg, promises a

Coupled-channel approach in hadron–hadron scattering

JA Oller - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2020 - Elsevier
Coupled-channel dynamics for scattering and production processes in partial-wave
