We introduce a momentum subtraction scheme which obeys the power counting of Kaplan, Savage, and Wise (KSW), developed for systems with large scattering lengths, $a$. Unlike the power divergence subtraction scheme, coupling constants in…

We study the perturbative renormalizability of chiral two pion exchange in nucleon-nucleon scattering for p- and d-waves within the effective field theory approach. The one pion exchange potential is fully iterated at the leading order in…
The effective field theory approach is applied to the three-nucleon process of $S=1/2$ neutron-deuteron scattering in the S-wave, including the effective range parameters summed at all orders. This is achieved through a modification of the…
Neutron-deuteron scattering in the context of ``pion-less'' Effective Field Theory at very low energies is investigated to next-to-next-to-leading order. Convergence is improved by fitting the two-nucleon contact interactions to the tail of…
In this work the elastic scattering of two nucleons is calculated in chiral effective field theory at next-to-leading order taking into account the coupled N$\Delta$-, $\Delta$N- and $\Delta\Delta$-channels. To solve the coupled channel…
