We point out that, under certain conditions, the nuclear currents that couple to vector bosons can be written as the trace of the product of two matrices. One contains `nucleon dynamics', e.g. form factors, the other contains the overlaps…

We develop a perturbative QCD factorization theorem which is compatible with effective field theory. The factorization involves three scales: an infrared cutoff of order $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$, a hard scale of order the $B$ meson mass, and an…
We investigate two distinct sources of uncertainty in low-energy nuclear physics calculations and develop ways to account for them. Harmonic oscillator basis expansions are widely used in ab-initio nuclear structure calculations. Finite…
