The long and winding road from chiral effective Lagrangians to nuclear structure

Abstract: I review the chiral dynamics of nuclear physics. In the first part, I discuss the new developments in the construction of the forces between two, three and four nucleons which have been partly carried out to fifth order in the chiral expansion. It is also shown that based on these forces in conjunction with the estimation of the corresponding theoretical uncertainties, the need for threenucleon forces in few nucleon systems can be unambiguously established. I also introduce the lattice formulation of these for… Show more

“…. While phenomenologically successful [43], the Weinberg power counting is not fully consistent. Inconsistencies appear in some channels, such as the 1 S 0 channel, where the cutoff dependence of the solution of the Lippman-Schwinger equation cannot be absorbed by the counterterms that appear at lowest order [41,42].…”

“…Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that the covariant density functional PKDD adopted here is phenomenological, where the nucleon-meson coupling constants are fixed according to the masses of spherical nuclei, the incompressibility, saturation density, and symmetry energy of nuclear matter [70]. In light of the recent developments of microscopic many-body calculations in describing finite nuclei and nuclear matter starting from realistic nucleonnucleon interactions [82][83][84][85][86][87][88], a more refined adjustment of parameters incorporating those results are necessary. A possible way to reach this in RMF model is to intro-duce density-dependent coupling constants derived from self-energies of Dirac-Brueckner calculations of nuclear matter [57,89], which are found decreasing with density and can be reproduced with Eqs.…”

“…Even in nuclear spectroscopy, three-body potentials improve the agreement with observed nuclear levels [18][19][20]. Often these calculations use phenomenological potentials, but effective field theory (EFT) offers a direct connection to QCD [21][22][23][24]. Chiral EFTs are, however, limited to a kinematic range where the momenta are small relative to the chiral symmetry breaking scale Λ χ ∼ 700 MeV.…”
