The study of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) over the past quarter century has had relatively little impact on the traditional approach to the low-energy nuclear many-body problem. Recent developments are changing this situation. New…
Despite the remarkable success of the Standard Model in describing fundamental interactions, unresolved phenomena such as dark matter, dark energy, and matter-antimatter asymmetry strongly suggest the existence of physics beyond the…
We develop an effective field theory (EFT) for nuclear vibrations. The key ingredients - quadrupole degrees of freedom, rotational invariance, and a breakdown scale around the three-phonon level - are taken from data. The EFT is developed…
