Chiral Effective Field Theory after Thirty Years: Nuclear Lattice Simulations

Nuclear Theory 2021-11-09 v1 High Energy Physics - Lattice Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

The introduction of chiral effective field theory by Steven Weinberg three decades ago has had a profound and lasting impact on nuclear physics. This brief review explores the impact of Weinberg's work on the field of nuclear lattice simulations. Rather than a summary of technical details, an effort is made to present the conceptual advances that made much of the recent progress possible.
