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 …

Chiral effective field theory and nuclear forces

R Machleidt, DR Entem - Physics Reports, 2011 - Elsevier
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 …

High-quality two-nucleon potentials up to fifth order of the chiral expansion

DR Entem, R Machleidt, Y Nosyk - Physical Review C, 2017 - APS
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 …

Improved chiral nucleon-nucleon potential up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order

E Epelbaum, H Krebs, UG Meißner - The European Physical Journal A, 2015 - Springer
We present improved nucleon-nucleon potentials derived in chiral effective field theory up to
next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order. We argue that the nonlocal momentum-space …

Modern theory of nuclear forces

E Epelbaum, HW Hammer, UG Meißner - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2009 - APS
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 …

Accurate charge-dependent nucleon-nucleon potential at fourth order of chiral perturbation theory

DR Entem, R Machleidt - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2003 - APS
We present the first nucleon-nucleon potential at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (fourth
order) of chiral perturbation theory. Charge dependence is included up to next-to-leading …

Colloquium: Three-body forces: From cold atoms to nuclei

HW Hammer, A Nogga, A Schwenk - Reviews of modern physics, 2013 - APS
It is often assumed that few-and many-body systems can be accurately described by
considering only pairwise two-body interactions of the constituents. We illustrate that three …

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 two-nucleon system at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order

E Epelbaum, W Glöckle, UG Meißner - Nuclear Physics A, 2005 - Elsevier
We consider the two-nucleon system at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) in chiral
effective field theory. The two-nucleon potential at N3LO consists of one-, two-and three-pion …
