The nonperturbative nature of inter-nucleon interactions is explored by varying the momentum cutoff of a two-nucleon potential. Conventional force models, which have large cutoffs, are nonperturbative because of strong short-range…

Polarization observables in neutron-deuteron scattering are calculated to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order ($\mathrm{N}^{3}\mathrm{LO}$) in pionless effective field theory ($\mathrm{EFT}_{\not{\pi}}$). At $\mathrm{N}^{3}\mathrm{LO}$…

We discuss modeling of nuclear structure beyond the 2-body interaction paradigm. Our first example is related to the need of three nucleon contact interaction terms suggested by chiral perturbation theory. The relationship of the two…
