A New Approach to Chiral Perturbation Theory for Matter Fields

Abstract

I propose a prescription for separating the high- and low-energy contributions in effective field theories. This prescription allows a relativistic treatment of matter fields in chiral perturbation theory while the power counting remains valid.
