Perturbative chiral nucleon-nucleon potential for the $^3P_0$ partial wave

Abstract

We study perturbativeness of chiral nuclear forces in the 3P0^3P_0 channel. In previous works, the focus has been on one-pion exchange, and the applicable window of perturbative pion exchanges has been shown to span from threshold to the center-of-mass momentum kk \simeq 180 MeV. We will examine, instead, whether cancellation of short and long-range parts can sufficiently soften the 3P0^3P_0 chiral force to make it more amenable to perturbation theory. The result is encouraging, as the combined 3P0^3P_0 force is shown to be perturbative up to kk \simeq 280 MeV, covering many nuclear-structure calculations.
