The strong interaction, i.e., quantum chromodynamics at the low energy nuclear regime, is notoriously known to be challenging for predictive modeling. Here, we use the simplest possible nuclear effective field theory (EFT), and show that in…

We propose a new non-perturbative method to search for marginal deformations in level truncated open string field theory. Instead of studying the flatness of the effective potential for the marginal field (which is not expected to give a…

We investigate Bayesian chiral effective field theory ($\chi$EFT) uncertainties, which assign a statistical interpretation to equation of state (EOS) distributions near nuclear saturation density, n$_0$, as well as constraints from…

The electromagnetic charge operator in a two-nucleon system is derived in chiral effective field theory ($\chi$EFT) up to order $e\, Q$ (or N4LO), where $Q$ denotes the low-momentum scale and $e$ is the electric charge. The specific form of…
