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 …

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 …

Recent experimental results in three-body systems have unambiguously shown that
calculations based only on nucleon–nucleon forces fail to accurately describe many …

This review briefly introduces the chiral effective field theory of nuclear forces and atomic
nuclei. We discuss the status of the nuclear Hamiltonian derived in this framework and some …

We discuss in detail the derivation of the leading four-nucleon force in chiral effective field
theory using the method of unitary transformation. The resulting four-nucleon force is given …

Three-nucleon scattering equations with irreducible three-nucleon force are solved in
momentum-space. The Coulomb interaction between the two protons is included using the …

All deuteron analyzing powers for elastic deuteron-proton (dp) scattering have been
measured with a polarized deuteron beam at 186.6 MeV/nucleon. They are compared with …

Recently, the database for the breakup of a deuteron in collision with a proton has been
significantly enriched in the domain of medium energies. High precision experimental data …

A design for a Δ EE detector to investigate deuteron breakup in the Nuclotron-M internal
target in a deuteron energy interval of 300–500 MeV is presented. The high-voltage power …

A set of differential cross-section data of the 1 H (d, pp) n breakup reaction at 130 MeV
deuteron beam energy has been measured in the domain of very forward polar angles with …
