Chiral Perturbation Theory in Few-Nucleon Systems

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The low-energy effective theory of nuclear physics based on chiral symmetry is reviewed. Topics discussed include the nucleon-nucleon force, few-body potentials, isospin violation, pion-deuteron scattering, proton-neutron radiative capture, pion photoproduction on the deuteron, and pion production in proton-proton collisions.
