The properties of dilute neutron matter are mostly determined by the s-wave two-body (2N) interaction, while three-body (3N) interactions are suppressed by the Pauli principle. In a previous work, we showed that it can be advantageous to…
Cutoff independence is an essential requirement for the predictive power of nuclear \textit{ab initio} calculations based on effective field theory (EFT). While it is conventionally assumed that such invariance necessitates high-order…
