For a set of realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials we evaluate microscopic parameters of binary collisions: a time duration of the scattering state, a mean distance and a rotation of nucleons during a collision. These parameters enter the…
We present the dominant two- and three-pion-exchange contributions to the nucleon-nucleon interaction at sixth order (next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order, N5LO) of chiral perturbation theory. Phase shifts with orbital…
We present details of the derivation of local chiral effective field theory interactions to next-to-next-to-leading order, and show results for nucleon-nucleon phase shifts and deuteron properties for these potentials. We then perform…
We study the Nucleon-Nucleon interaction in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation at second order in perturbation theory including the \Delta\ resonance as an intermediate state. The potential resembles strongly chiral potentials computed…

Chiral perturbation theory is the effective field theory of the standard model. In this talk, I discuss some applications of this framework to the pion--nucleon system. These are chiral corrections to the S--wave pion--nucleon scattering…

The renormalization of the chiral nuclear interactions is studied. In leading order, the cutoff dependence is related to the singular tensor interaction of the one-pion exchange potential. In S waves and in higher partial waves where the…
The next-to-leading order chiral pion-nucleon Lagrangian contains seven finite low-energy constants. Two can be fixed from the nucleon anomalous magnetic moments and another one from the quark mass contribution to the neutron-proton mass…

We investigate the long-range interactions between two neutrons utilizing recent data on the neutron static and dynamic electric and magnetic dipole polarizabilities. The resulting long-range potentials are used to make quantitative…
We calculate in (two-loop) chiral perturbation theory the local NN-potentials generated by certain classes of three-pion exchange diagrams. We stress that the chiral $3\pi NN$-contact vertex depends on the particular choice of the…

Background: Elastic scattering is probably the main event in the interactions of nucleons with nuclei. Even if this process has been extensively studied in the last years, a consistent description, i.e. starting from microscopic two- and…
The experimental discovery that the nucleus is approximately transparent to low energy pions is reviewed. The consequences of this for nuclear deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan interactions are discussed. I argue that low energy…
