We discuss the effective field theory (EFT) for nuclear beta decay. The general quark-level EFT describing charged-current interactions between quarks and leptons is matched to the nucleon-level non-relativistic EFT at the O(MeV) momentum…
The chiral low-energy constants c_D and c_E are constrained by means of accurate ab initio calculations of the A=3 binding energies and, for the first time, of the triton beta decay. We demonstrate that these low-energy observables allow a…
We calculate the nuclear matrix element (NME), effective axial-vector current coupling $g_A^\mathrm{eff}$, and half-life of the double-$\beta$ ($\beta\beta$) decay using the transition operator perturbed by the nuclear interaction. The…
We examine the leading effects of two-body weak currents from chiral effective field theory on the matrix elements governing neutrinoless double-beta decay. In the closure approximation these effects are generated by the product of a…
We present a microscopic calculation of the 6He beta-decay into the ground state of 6Li. To this end, we use chiral perturbation theory at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order to describe the nuclear weak-currents. The nuclear wave…
We develop interactions from chiral effective field theory (EFT) that are tailored to the harmonic oscillator basis. As a consequence, ultraviolet convergence with respect to the model space is implemented by construction and infrared…
We recently developed a Bayesian framework for parameter estimation in general effective field theories. Here we present selected results from using that framework to estimate parameters with a nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential derived using…
By incorporating hidden scale symmetry and hidden local symmetry in nuclear effective field theory, combined with double soft-pion theorem, we predict that the Gamow-Teller operator coming from the space component of the axial current…
The muon-capture reactions 2H(\mu^-,\nu_\mu)nn and 3He(\mu^-,\nu_\mu)3H are studied with nuclear strong-interaction potentials and charge-changing weak currents, derived in chiral effective field theory. The low-energy constants (LEC's) c_D…
Chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) is the effective field theory of the strong interactions at low energies. We will address the issue of a consistent power counting scheme in a manifestly Lorentz-invariant formulation of baryon ChPT. As…
The astrophysical $S$-factor for the proton-proton fusion is calculated in the low-energy regime for a variety of nuclear interactions and consistent nuclear currents, derived within chiral effective field theory. We estimate, for the first…
This work presents a determination of potential short-distance contributions to the unphysical $\pi^-\rightarrow\pi^+ e^- e^-$ decay through lattice QCD calculations. The hadronic contributions to the transition amplitude are described by…
Recent developments in calculations of low energy nucleon properties utilizing effective chiral field theories with explicit spin 3/2 matter fields are presented. In particular, the role of Delta resonances in microscopic calculations of…
We perform a relativistic chiral effective-field theory calculation of the pion electroproduction off the nucleon ($e^- N \to e^- N \pi$) in the Delta(1232)-resonance region. After fixing the three low-energy constants, corresponding to the…
In a previous paper, the convergence of the effective field theory approach of Furnstahl, Serot and Tang to the nuclear many-body problem was studied by applying it to selected doubly-magic, and neighboring single-particle and single-hole,…
The classic paper by Fleming, Mehen and Stewart cast doubts on the convergence of spin-triplet nucleon-nucleon partial wave scattering amplitudes when following the proposal of Kaplan, Savage and Wise to construct nuclear effective field…
We review the description of the lowest-energy nucleon excitation -- the $\Delta$(1232)-resonance. Much of the recent experimental effort has been focused on the precision measurements of the nucleon-to-$\Delta$ transition by means of…
Recently, we have derived a two--nucleon potential and consistent nuclear electromagnetic currents in chiral effective field theory with pions and nucleons as explicit degrees of freedom. The calculation of the currents has been carried out…
We analyze the longest-range two-pion exchange contributions to the three-nucleon force at leading-loop order in the framework of heavy-baryon chiral effective field theory with explicit $\Delta(1232)$ degrees of freedom. All relevant…
Neutron matter is an ideal laboratory for nuclear interactions derived from chiral effective field theory since all contributions are predicted up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) in the chiral expansion. By making use of…
