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 …

In the past two decades, a plethora of hadronic states beyond the conventional quark model
of qq ̄ mesons and qqq baryons have been observed experimentally, which motivated …

We present NN potentials through five orders of chiral effective field theory ranging from
leading order (LO) to next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N 4 LO). The construction …

In this work, we employ the heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory to calculate the Σ c D¯(*)
potentials to the next-to-leading order. The contact, the one-pion exchange, and the two …

Nuclear structure models built from phenomenological mean fields, the effective nucleon–
nucleon interactions (or Lagrangians), and the realistic bare nucleon–nucleon interactions …

Nuclear weak decays provide important probes to fundamental symmetries in nature. A
precise description of these processes in atomic nuclei requires comprehensive knowledge …

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 …

Exascale computing could soon enable a predictive theory of nuclear structure and
reactions rooted in the Standard Model, with quantifiable and systematically improvable …

This is a collection of perspective pieces contributed by the participants of the Institute for
Nuclear Theory's Program on Nuclear Physics for Precision Nuclear Physics which was held …

We construct a relativistic chiral nucleon-nucleon interaction up to the next-to-next-to-
leading order in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. We show that a good …
