Abstract

We extend our Wilsonian renormalization group (RG) analysis on the pionless nuclear effective theory (NEFT) in the two-nucleon sector in two ways; on the one hand, (1) we enlarge the space of operators up to including those of O(p4)\mathcal{O}(p^4) in the SS waves, and, on the other hand, (2) we consider the RG flows in higher partial waves (PP and DD waves). In the larger space calculations, we find, in addition to nontrivial fixed points, two ``fixed lines'' and a ``fixed surface'' which are related to marginal operators. In the higher partial wave calculations, we find similar phase structures to that of the SS waves, but there are \textit{two} relevant directions in the PP waves at the nontrivial fixed points and \textit{three} in the DD waves. We explain the physical meaning of the PP-wave phase structure by explicitly calculating the low-energy scattering amplitude. We also discuss the relation between the Legendre flow equation which we employ and the RG equation by Birse, McGovern, and Richardson, and possible implementation of Power Divergence Subtraction (PDS) in higher partial waves.
