“…Thus nuclear reaction cross sections impact disparate areas of physics such as astrophysics, nuclear physics and particle physics in a crucial manner. The effective field theory (EFT) formulation of the microscopic nuclear interaction plays a central role in the nuclear reaction calculations [6][7][8][9][10][11]. EFT provides a modelindependent framework where one can make reliable estimates of the theoretical error.…”

The proton-proton fusion rate is calculated at low energy in a lattice effective field theory (EFT) formulation. The strong and the Coulomb interactions are treated non-perturbatively at leading order in the EFT. The lattice results are shown to accurately describe the low energy cross section within the validity of the theory at energies relevant to solar physics. In prior works in the literature, Coulomb effects were generally not included in non-perturbative lattice calculations. Work presented here is of general interest in nuclear lattice EFT calculations that involve Coulomb effects at low energy. It complements recent developments of the adiabatic projection method for lattice calculations of nuclear reactions.

“…Applications of EFT in the few-nucleon systems have been quite successful [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Though there is a good understanding of the microscopic nuclear interactions, their application to larger nuclear systems poses serious computational challenges.…”
