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 …

Effective field theory for few-nucleon systems

PF Bedaque, U Van Kolck - Annual Review of Nuclear and …, 2002 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We review the effective field theories (EFTs) developed for few-nucleon systems.
These EFTs are controlled expansions in momenta, where certain (leading-order) …

The three-boson system with short-range interactions

PF Bedaque, HW Hammer, U Van Kolck - Nuclear Physics A, 1999 - Elsevier
We discuss renormalization of the non-relativistic three-body problem with short-range
forces. The problem is non-perturbative at momenta of the order of the inverse of the two …

Quartet S wave neutron deuteron scattering in effective field theory

PF Bedaque, HW Griesshammer - Nuclear Physics A, 2000 - Elsevier
The real and imaginary part of the quartet S wave phase shift in nd scattering (4S3/2) for
centre-of-mass momenta of up to 300 MeV (E cm≈ 70 MeV) is presented in effective field …

Nucleon-nucleon effective field theory without pions

JW Chen, G Rupak, MJ Savage - Nuclear Physics A, 1999 - Elsevier
Nuclear processes involving momenta much below the mass of the pion may be described
by an effective field theory in which the pions do not appear as explicit degrees of freedom …

Effective field theory of nuclear forces

U Van Kolck - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 1999 - Elsevier
The application of the effective field theory (EFT) method to nuclear systems is reviewed.
The roles of degrees of freedom, QCD symmetries, power counting, renormalization, and …

NNLO corrections to nucleon–nucleon scattering and perturbative pions

S Fleming, T Mehen, IW Stewart - Nuclear Physics A, 2000 - Elsevier
The 1S0, 3S1, and 3D1 nucleon–nucleon scattering phase shifts are calculated at next-to-
next-to-leading order (NNLO) in an effective field theory. Predictions for the 1P1, 3P0, 1, 2 …

A renormalisation-group treatment of two-body scattering

MC Birse, JA McGovern, KG Richardson - Physics Letters B, 1999 - Elsevier
Nonrelativistic two-body scattering by a short-ranged potential is studied using the
renormalisation group. Two fixed points are identified: a trivial one and one describing …

Using effective field theory to analyse low-energy Compton scattering data from protons and light nuclei

HW Grießhammer, JA McGovern, DR Phillips… - Progress in Particle and …, 2012 - Elsevier
Compton scattering from protons and neutrons provides important insight into the structure
of the nucleon. For photon energies up to about 300 MeV, the process can be parameterised …

Rearranging pionless effective field theory

SR Beane, MJ Savage - Nuclear Physics A, 2001 - Elsevier
We point out a redundancy in the operator structure of the pionless effective field theory, EFT
(π̵), which dramatically simplifies computations. This redundancy is best exploited by using …
