Recently, a relativistic chiral nucleon-nucleon interaction is formulated up to leading order which provides a good description of the phase shifts of $J\leq1$ partial waves [Chin. Phys. C 42 (2018) 014103]. Nevertheless, a separable…
Pionful nuclear effective field theory (NEFT) in the two-nucleon sector is examined from the Wilsonian renormalization group point of view. The pion exchange is cut off at the floating cutoff scale, $\Lambda$, with the short-distance part…
Nogga, Timmermans and van Kolck recently argued that Weinberg's power counting in the few-nucleon sector is inconsistent and requires modifications. Their argument is based on the observed cutoff dependence of the nucleon-nucleon scattering…
We show that from analysis of time-ordered diagrams for the two-nucleon $T$-matrix in chiral perturbation theory it follows that low energy nucleon dynamics is governed by the generalized dynamical equation, which was derived in [J.Phys.A.,…

We propose a new, renormalizable approach to nucleon-nucleon scattering in chiral effective field theory based on the manifestly Lorentz invariant form of the effective Lagrangian without employing the heavy-baryon expansion. For the…

The renormalisation of NN scattering in theories with zero-range interactions is examined using a cut-off regularisation where the cut-off is taken to infinity, dimensional regularisation (DR) with minimal subtraction, and DR with…
We extend the ab initio no-core shell model/resonating-group method to include three-nucleon (3N) interactions for the description of nucleon-nucleus collisions. We outline the formalism, give algebraic expressions for the 3N-force…
Within the framework of chiral effective field theory, perturbative calculation for $NN$ scattering is carried out in partial waves with orbital angular momentum $L \geqslant 1$. The primary goal is to identify the lowest angular momenta at…
I discuss the progress we have made on modifying Weinberg's prescription for chiral nuclear forces, using renormalization group invariance as the guideline. Some of the published results are presented.
Within the one-loop approximation of baryon chiral perturbation theory we calculate all one-pion and two-pion exchange contributions to the nucleon-nucleon interaction. In fact we construct the elastic NN-scattering amplitude up to and…
We present solutions of the BCS gap equation in the channels ${}^1S_0$ and ${}^3P_2-{}^3F_2$ in neutron matter based on nuclear interactions derived within chiral effective field theory (EFT). Our studies are based on a representative set…
Next to leading order effective field theory calculations are performed for $ {}^1S_0$ NN scattering using subtractive renormalization procedure. One pion exchange and contact interaction potentials are iterated using Lippman-Schwinger…
The uncoupled $P$-wave channels of nucleon-nucleon scattering are studied in an effective field theory (EFT) including a perturbative dibaryon field and perturbative pions. Good agreement between EFT results and the Nijmegen partial wave…
Are chiral theories at present describing experimental NN scattering data satisfactorily ?. Will the chiral approach offer a framework where fitting and selecting the existing np and pp data can be done without theoretical bias ?. While…
We discuss a renormalization scheme for relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory which provides a simple and consistent power counting for renormalized diagrams. The method involves finite subtractions of dimensionally regularized…
We study the distorted wave renormalisation group (DWRG), a tool for constructing power-counting schemes in systems where some diagrams must be summed to all orders. We solve the DWRG eqaution for a variety of long-range potentials…
