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 …

Efimov physics and connections to nuclear physics

A Kievsky, M Gattobigio, L Girlanda… - Annual Review of …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Physical systems characterized by a shallow two-body bound or virtual state are governed at
large distances by continuous scale invariance, which is broken into discrete scale …

Nuclear physics around the unitarity limit

S König, HW Grießhammer, HW Hammer, U van Kolck - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We argue that many features of the structure of nuclei emerge from a strictly perturbative
expansion around the unitarity limit, where the two-nucleon S waves have bound states at …

Essential elements for nuclear binding

BN Lu, N Li, S Elhatisari, D Lee, E Epelbaum… - Physics Letters B, 2019 - Elsevier
How does nuclear binding emerge from first principles? Our current best understanding of
nuclear forces is based on a systematic low-energy expansion called chiral effective field …

Correlations imposed by the unitary limit between few-nucleon systems, nuclear matter, and neutron stars

A Kievsky, M Viviani, D Logoteta, I Bombaci… - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
The large values of the singlet and triplet two-nucleon scattering lengths locate the nuclear
system close to the unitary limit. This particular position strongly constrains the low-energy …

Two-and three-nucleon contact interactions and ground-state energies of light-and medium-mass nuclei

R Schiavilla, L Girlanda, A Gnech, A Kievsky, A Lovato… - Physical Review C, 2021 - APS
Classes of two-nucleon (2 N) contact interactions are developed in configuration space at
leading order (LO), next-to-leading order (NLO), and next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order …

The Fate of Excited State of

M Gattobigio, A Kievsky - Few-Body Systems, 2023 - Springer
We investigate the properties of the excited state of 4 He, 4 He∗, within the framework of
Efimov physics and its connection to the unitary point of the nuclear interaction. We explore …

Comprehensive study of the three-and four-neutron systems at low energies

MD Higgins, CH Greene, A Kievsky, M Viviani - Physical Review C, 2021 - APS
This work presents further analysis of the three-and four-neutron systems in the low energy
regime using adiabatic hyperspherical methods. In our previous article [MD Higgins, Phys …

Embedding nuclear physics inside the unitary-limit window

M Gattobigio, A Kievsky, M Viviani - Physical Review C, 2019 - APS
The large values of the singlet and triplet scattering lengths locate the two-nucleon system
close to the unitary limit, the limit in which these two values diverge. As a consequence, the …
