The validity range of the widely used traditional effective range expansion can be severely limited by the presence of a left-hand cut near the two-particle threshold. Such a left-hand cut emerges in two-particle scattering processes…
A model-independent parameterization of the low-energy scattering amplitude that incorporates the left-hand cut from one-particle exchange, an extension of the conventional effective-range expansion (ERE), was recently proposed and…
The scattering of two and more particles at low energies is described by the so called effective-range expansion. The leading terms of this expansion are the scattering length and effective range. The analytic expressions for both of the…
Studies of cold atom collisions and few-body interactions often require the energy dependence of the scattering phase shift, which is usually expressed in terms of an effective-range expansion. We use accurate coupled-channel calculations…
The method of effective field theories (EFTs) is developed for the scattering of two particles at wavelengths which are large compared to the range of their interaction. It is shown that the renormalized EFT is equivalent to the effective…
The two-particle finite-volume scattering formalism derived by L\"uscher and generalized in many subsequent works does not hold for energies far enough below the two-particle threshold to reach the nearest left-hand cut. The breakdown of…
We consider the effective field theory (EFT) treatment of two-body systems with narrow resonances. Within this approach, an $s$-wave scattering amplitude can be expanded in powers of a typical momentum scale of a system $Q\ll \Lambda$,…
We apply the generalized effective-range expansion of Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 011903(2025), which incorporates the left-hand cut from one-pion exchange, to low-energy neutron-proton scattering in the $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ channels. The…
The textbook effective-range expansion of scattering theory is useful in the analysis of low-energy scattering phenomenology when the scattering length $|a|$ is much larger than the range $R$ of the scattering potential: $|a|\gg R$.…
We derive a general formalism that relates the spectrum of two-particle systems in a finite volume to physical scattering amplitudes, taking into account the presence of any left-hand branch cuts due to single-particle exchanges. The method…
The effective field theory with contact interactions alone is a powerful tool to compute low-energy observables for three-body systems with large scattering length. Recent calculations including effective range corrections are discussed and…
Narrow resonances in systems with short-range interactions are discussed in an effective field theory (EFT) framework. An effective Lagrangian is formulated in the form of a combined expansion in powers of a momentum Q << Lambda--a…
We investigate how the left-hand cut (LHC) problem is treated in the HAL QCD method. For this purpose, we first consider the effect of the LHC to the scattering problem in non-relativistic quantum mechanics with potentials. We show that the…
Lattice QCD has become an essential tool for studying the hadron-hadron interaction from the first principles. However, when extracting infinite-volume scattering parameters from finite-volume energy levels, the traditional L\"uscher…
Strongly interacting systems appear in several areas of physics and are characterized by attractive interactions that can almost, or just barely, loosely bind two particles. Although this definition is made at the two-body level, this gives…
In effective field theory physical quantities, in particular observables, are expressed as a power series in terms of a small expansion parameter. For non-perturbative systems, for instance nuclear physics, this requires the…

Conditions are established for the existence of a scattering length and an effective range in the low-energy expansion of the S-wave phase-shift of a central potential in two and three dimensions. The behavior of the phase-shift as a…
We treat low-energy $^3$He-$\alpha$ elastic scattering in an Effective Field Theory (EFT) that exploits the separation of scales in this reaction. We compute the amplitude up to Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO), developing a hierarchy…
