We study the next-to-leading gluon exchange in the high-energy scattering that contributes to the amplitude to order $s^0$ up to logarithmic corrections. Similar to the leading gluon exchange these contribution can be described in terms of…
We review the effective field theories (EFTs) developed for few-nucleon systems. These EFTs are controlled expansions in momenta, where certain (leading-order) interactions are summed to all orders. At low energies, an EFT with only contact…
