Power counting in relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory

Abstract

We consider a renormalization scheme for relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory which provides a simple and consistent power counting for renormalized diagrams. As an application we discuss the chiral expansion of the nucleon mass.
