I start with a historical review of the attempts to construct theories for the origin of nuclear forces, for which I also summaries the most important properties. The review then shifts to its main focus, which is the chiral effective field…
We present an accurate nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) potential based upon chiral effective Lagrangians. The model includes one- and two-pion exchange contributions up to chiral order three. We show that a quantitative fit of the $NN$ $D$-wave…
Three-nucleon forces are an essential ingredient for an accurate description of nuclear few- and many-body systems. However, implementing them directly in many-body calculations is technically very challenging. Thus, there is a need for an…
