We consider an extension of the one-nucleon sector of baryon chiral perturbation theory beyond the low-energy region. The applicability of this approach for higher energies is restricted to small scattering angles, i.e. the kinematical…
The low-energy structure of hadrons can be described systematically using effective field theory, and the parameters of the effective theory can be determined from lattice QCD computations. Recent work, however, points to inconsistencies…
Parameters of the effective chiral lagrangian (EChL) of orders $O(p^4)$ and $O(p^6)$ are extracted from low--energy behaviour of dual resonance models for $ \pi\pi$ and $\pi K$ scattering amplitudes. Dual resonance models are considered to…
Effective field theories encode the predictions of a quantum field theory at low energy. The effective theory has a fairly low ultraviolet cutoff. As a result, loop corrections are small, at least if the effective action contains a term…
