We develop an effective field theory (EFT) for deformed odd-mass nuclei. These are described as an axially symmetric core to which a nucleon is coupled. In the coordinate system fixed to the core the nucleon is subject to an axially…
In an effective hadronic theory constructed to describe long-range nuclear physics, the dynamics of the vacuum can be expanded in terms with zero or a finite number of derivatives acting on the fields. Thus vacuum dynamics can always be…
