Chiral effective field theory and nuclear forces

Nuclear Theory 2011-05-19 v1 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

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 considerable detailed information (mostly in appendices) for the benefit of researchers who wish to start working in this field.
