A Novel Regularization Scheme for Nucleon-Nucleon Lattice Simulations with Effective Field Theory

Nuclear Theory 2020-10-16 v1

Abstract

We propose a new regularization scheme to study the bound state of two-nucleon systems in Lattice Effective Field Theory. Inspired by continuum EFT calculation, we study an exponential regulator acting on the leading-order (LO) and next-to-leading order (NLO) interactions, consisting of local contact terms. By fitting the low-energy coefficients (LECs) to deuteron binding energy and the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) on a lattice simulation, we extract the effective range expansion (ERE) parameters in the 3S1^3S_1 channel to order p2p^2. We explore the impact of different powers of the regulator on the extracted ERE parameters for the lattice spacing a=1.97a=1.97 fm. Moreover, we investigate how the implementation of the regularization scheme improves the predicted ERE parameters on the lattice spacing in the range of 1.4a2.61.4 \le a \le 2.6 fm. Our numerical analysis indicates that for lattice spacing greater than 22 fm, the predicted observables are very close to the experimental data.
