An effective field theory treatment of nucleon-nucleon scattering at low energy shows much promise and could prove a useful tool in the study of nuclear matter at both ordinary and extreme densities. The analysis is complicated by the…

Physics beyond the standard model can affect top-quark physics indirectly. We describe the effective field theory approach to describing such physics, and contrast it with the vertex-function approach that has been pursued previously. We…
