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 …

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 …

▪ 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 renormalization of the chiral nuclear interactions is studied. In leading order, the cutoff
dependence is related to the singular tensor interaction of the one-pion exchange potential …

We show that an expansion of nuclear forces about the chiral limit is formally consistent and
is equivalent to KSW power counting in the 1S 0 channel and Weinberg power counting in …

Ever since quantum field theory was first applied to the derivation of nuclear forces in the
mid-twentieth century, the renormalization of pion exchange with realistic couplings has …

The theoretical status on universal aspects of weakly-bound neutron-rich light nuclei are
reviewed, considering few-body approaches. We focus the review on the low-energy …

We discuss the subleading contact interactions, or counterterms, of the triplet channels of
nucleon-nucleon scattering in the framework of chiral effective field theory, with S and P …
