We review the current status and recent progress of microscopic many-body approaches
and phenomenological models, which are employed to construct the equation of state of …

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 propose the existence of a lower bound on the energy of pure neutron matter (PNM) on
the basis of unitary-gas considerations. We discuss its justification from experimental studies …

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 …

The authors review the present status of self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) models for
describing nuclear structure and low-energy dynamics. These models are presented as …

The ultimate goal of studying isospin physics via heavy-ion reactions with neutron-rich,
stable and/or radioactive nuclei is to explore the isospin dependence of in-medium nuclear …

▪ 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 nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential is studied by lattice QCD simulations in the quenched
approximation, using the plaquette gauge action and the Wilson quark action on a 32 4 [< …

Self-consistent mean field models are a powerful tool in the investigation of nuclear structure
and low-energy dynamics. They are based on effective energy-density functionals, often …

We present detailed results for the model-independent low momentum nucleon–nucleon
interaction V low k. By introducing a cutoff in momentum space, we separate the Hilbert …
