We consider the two-nucleon system at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N^3LO) in chiral effective field theory. The two-nucleon potential at N^3LO consists of one-, two- and three-pion exchanges and a set of contact interactions with…

We develop a framework for calculating nucleon-deuteron scattering using strict perturbation theory for treating subleading interactions in chiral effective field theory (ChEFT). Rather than using direct evaluations in the distorted-wave…
These lectures are a pedagogical -- not comprehensive -- introduction to the applications of effective field theory in the context of nuclear and atomic physics. A common feature of these applications is the interplay between…
We consider the relationship between P-wave pi-N scattering and the strength of the P-wave two-pion-exchange three-nucleon interaction (TPE3NI). We explain why effective theories that do not contain the delta resonance as an explicit degree…
We address the typical strengths of hadronic parity-violating three-nucleon interactions in "pion-less" Effective Field Theory in the nucleon-deuteron (iso-doublet) system. By analysing the superficial degree of divergence of loop diagrams,…

The effect of isospin breaking pion s-wave rescattering is included in elastic NN scattering at low energies using effective field theory. Although this mechanism gave a large contribution to charge symmetry breaking in np --> d pi0, the…

The pionless effective field theory (EFT) is the appropriate low-energy EFT for short-range interactions that display a large scattering length. It has been successfully applied in atomic, nuclear and particle physics. We give an overview…
We study the $N_c$ scalings of pion-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon scatterings and find that a consistent large $N_c$ counting can be established if we assume Witten's counting rules are applied to matrix elements or scattering amplitudes…

We employ the chiral nucleon-nucleon potential derived in ref.[1] to study bound and scattering states in the two-nucleon system. At next-to-leading order, this potential is the sum of renormalized one-pion and two-pion exchange and contact…
