The hyperon potential, particularly its behavior at high densities, is crucial for resolving the ``hyperon puzzle'' in neutron stars and for advancing our understanding of the strong interactions between strange and non-strange particles in…
We extend Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory (NLEFT) to medium-mass nuclei, and present results for the ground states of alpha nuclei from $^4$He to $^{28}$Si, calculated up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the EFT expansion.…
A systematic connection between QCD and nuclear few- and many-body properties in the form of the Effective Field Theory "without pions" is applied to $A\le 6$ nuclei to determine its range of applicability. We present results at…
Energy levels of the double-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei $_\Lambda^{}$$_\Lambda^7$He, $_\Lambda^{}$$_\Lambda^7$Li, $_\Lambda^{}$$_\Lambda^8$Li, $_\Lambda^{}$$_\Lambda^9$Li, $_\Lambda^{}$$_\Lambda^9$Be and $_\Lambda^{}$$_\Lambda^{10}$Be are…

The Nijmegen OBE potential D is SU(3) rotated to model the strangeness -2 sector of the baryon-baryon force. Soft core repulsion is introduced to regularize the singular nature of the OBE functions. The strength of the $^1$S$_0$ $t=0$…
We study the strangeness $S=-2$ baryon-baryon interactions in relativistic chiral effective field theory at leading order. Among the 15 relevant low energy constants, eight of them are determined by fitting to the state of the art lattice…
We study the $^6$He Borromean nucleus in coordinate representation within a three-body model with two-body potentials derived from cluster effective field theory (EFT). These potentials are originally developed in momentum space and Fourier…

Charge symmetry breaking (CSB) is particularly strong in the A=4 mirror hypernuclei $_{\Lambda}^4$H--$_{\Lambda}^4$He. Recent four-body no-core shell model calculations that confront this CSB by introducing $\Lambda$-$\Sigma^0$ mixing to…
We bound EFT coefficients appearing in $2 \to 2$ photon scattering amplitudes in four dimensions. After reviewing unitarity and positivity conditions in this context, we use dispersion relations and crossing symmetry to compute sum rules…
A series of relativistic one-boson-exchange potentials for two-nucleon system, denoted as OBEP$\Lambda$, is constructed with a momentum cutoff $\Lambda$ ranging from $\infty$ to 2 fm$^{-1}$. These potentials are developed by simultaneous…
An analysis of the astrophysical $S$ factor of the proton-proton weak capture ($\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{p}\rightarrow {}^2\mathrm{H}+\mathrm{e}^++\nu_{\mathrm{e}}$) is performed on a large energy range covering solar-core and early Universe…
We generalize the Jacobi no-core shell model (J-NCSM) to study double-strangeness hypernuclei. All particle conversions in the strangeness $S=-1,-2$ sectors are explicitly taken into account. In two-body space, such transitions may lead to…
The spin-averaged binding energy and the hyperfine mass splitting of heavy-light mesons are investigated within the constituent quark model as a function of the inverse heavy-quark mass. It is shown that the so-called heavy-quark kinetic…
We derive the first positivity bounds for low-energy Effective Field Theories (EFTs) that are not invariant under Lorentz boosts. "Positivity bounds" are the low-energy manifestation of certain fundamental properties in the UV -- to date…
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…
Coherent Lambda-Sigma coupling effect in Lambda_He^7 is analyzed within three-body framework of two coupled channels, Lambda-t-t and Sigma-tau-t, where tau represents trinucleon which is either H^3 or He^3. The hyperon-trinucleon (Y tau)…
The spectral function of the $\Lambda$ hyperon in finite nuclei is calculated from the corresponding $\Lambda$ self-energy, which is constructed within a perturbative many-body approach using some of the hyperon-nucleon interactions of the…
