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 …

We review the structure of Roy–Steiner equations for pion–nucleon scattering, the solution
for the partial waves of the t-channel process π π→ N ̄ N, as well as the high-accuracy …

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) …

The application of effective field theory (EFT) methods to nuclear systems provides the
opportunity to rigorously estimate the uncertainties originating in the nuclear Hamiltonian …

We review the current state of knowledge of the nucleon polarizabilities and of their role in
nucleon Compton scattering and in hydrogen spectrum. We discuss the basic concepts, the …

We present a lattice QCD calculation of the nucleon electric polarizabilities at the physical
pion mass. Our findings reveal the substantial contributions of the N π states to these …

The difference between the electromagnetic self-energies of proton and neutron can be
calculated with the Cottingham formula, which expresses the self-energies as an integral …

Interpreting measurements requires a physical theory, but the theory's accuracy may vary
across the experimental domain. To optimize experimental design, and so to ensure that the …

Polarizabilities reveal valuable information on the internal structure of hadrons in terms of
charge and current distributions. For neutral hadrons, the standard approach is the …

We update the predictions of the SU (2) baryon chiral perturbation theory for the dipole
polarisabilities of the proton,{α _ E1,\, β _ M1\} _p={11.2 (0.7),\, 3.9 (0.7)\} * 10^-4 α E 1, β M …
