I review recent developments in the application of effective field theory to nuclear physics. Emphasis is placed on precision two-body calculations and efforts to formulate the nuclear shell model in terms of an effective field theory.
متن کاملEffective field theory as the bridge between lattice QCD and nuclear physics
A confluence of theoretical and technological developments are beginning to make possible contributions to nuclear physics from lattice QCD. Effective field theory plays a critical role in these advances. I give several examples.
متن کاملEffective Field Theory for Nuclear Physics
Low energy data is generally insensitive to the details of interactions at short distance. It is therefore difficult to learn about short range interactions; yet by the same token, complete knowledge of the physics at short distances is not required for an accurate understanding of experiments. Effective field theory exploits this fact. The effects of nonlocal interactions at short distance may...
متن کاملGround state energy of dilute neutron matter at next-to-leading order in lattice chiral effective field theory
We present lattice calculations for the ground state energy of dilute neutron matter at next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory. This study follows a series of recent papers on low-energy nuclear physics using chiral effective field theory on the lattice. In this work we introduce an improved spinand isospin-projected leading-order action which allows for a perturbative treatment...
متن کاملFrom Hadrons to Nuclei: Crossing the Border
The study of nuclei predates by many years the theory of quantum chromodynamics. More recently, effective field theories have been used in nuclear physics to “cross the border” from QCD to a nuclear theory. We are now entering the second decade of efforts to develop a perturbative theory of nuclear interactions using effective field theory. This chapter describes the current status of these eff...
