Uncertainty estimation and anomaly detection in chiral effective field theory studies of key nuclear electroweak processes

Nuclear Theory 2024-04-18 v1

Abstract

Chiral effective field theory (χ\chiEFT) is a powerful tool for studying electroweak processes in nuclei. I discuss χ\chiEFT calculations of three key nuclear electroweak processes: primordial deuterium production, proton-proton fusion, and magnetic dipole excitations of 48Ca^{48}\mathrm{Ca}. This article showcases χ\chiEFT's ability to quantify theory uncertainties at the appropriate level of rigor for addressing the different precision demands of these three processes.
