Low-energy nuclear structure and reactions can be described in a systematically improvable way using the framework of chiral effective field theory. This requires solving the quantum mechanical many-body problem with regularized nuclear…
Spin polarizabilities of the nucleon are discussed in the framework of fixed-t and backward-angle dispersion relations, chiral perturbation theory, and the non-relativistic quark model. Calculations with the dispersion relations generally…
The chiral effective field theory (ChEFT) is an extension of the chiral perturbation theory that includes the nuclear forces and weak currents at the hadronic and nuclear scales. We propose a systematic framework of parametrising the…
Hyper-polarization of nuclear spins is crucial for advancing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and quantum information technologies, as nuclear spins typically exhibit extremely low polarization at room temperature due to their small…
