Pions in the Pionless Effective Field Theory
We show that processes involving pions that remain very near their massshell can be reliably computed in the pionless effective field theory, with the pion integrated in as a heavy field. As an application, we compute the πdeuteron scattering amplitude near threshold to next-to-leading order in the momentum expansion. This amplitude is formally dominated by an infrared logarithm of the form log...
متن کاملRearranging Pionless Effective Field Theory
We point out a redundancy in the operator structure of the pionless effective field theory, EFT(π/), which dramatically simplifies computations. This redundancy is best exploited by using dibaryon fields as fundamental degrees of freedom. In turn, this suggests a new power counting scheme which sums range corrections to all orders. We explore this method with a few simple observables: the deute...
متن کاملAre Pions Perturbative in Effective Field Theory?
It is shown that pions can be included perturbatively into effective field theory only for the external momenta, well below the pion mass. But for such low energies it is not necessary to include pions explicitly. 03.65.Nk, 11.10.Gh, 12.39.Fe, 13.75.Cs. Typeset using REVTEX
متن کاملFew-Body Systems and the Pionless Effective Field Theory
The pionless effective field theory (EFT) is the appropriate low-energy EFT for short-range interactions that display a large scattering length. It has been successfully applied in atomic, nuclear and particle physics. We give an overview over recent calculations employing the pionless effective field theory and lay emphasis on applications in the threeand four-body sector where the most exciti...
متن کاملNucleon-Nucleon Effective Field Theory Without Pions
Nuclear processes involving momenta much below the mass of the pion may be described by an effective field theory in which the pions do not appear as explicit degrees of freedom. The effects of the pion and all other virtual hadrons are reproduced by the coefficients of gauge-invariant local operators involving the nucleon field. Nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shift data constrains many of th...
