abstract
We study a low-energy effective field theory (EFT) describing the NN system in which all exchanged particles are integrated out. We show that fitting the residue of the 3S1 amplitude at the deuteron pole, rather than the 3S1 effective range, dramatically improves the convergence of deuteron observables in this theory. Reproducing the residue ensures that the tail of the deuteron wave function, which is directly related to NN scattering data via analytic continuation, is correctly reproduced in the EFT at next-to-leading order. The role of multi-nucleon-electroweak operators which produce deviations from effective-range theory can then be explicitly separated from the physics of the wave function tail. Such an operator contributes to the deuteron quadrupole moment, mu_Q, at low order, indicating a sensitivity to short-distance physics. This is consistent with the failure of impulse approximation calculations in NN potential models to reproduce mu_Q. The convergence of NN phase shifts in the EFT is unimpaired by the use of this new expansion.

Auxiliary counterterms provide exact cutoff independence in EFTs but encode no new physics and aid renormalization consistency and convergence.
Leading-order predictions for three-body point production rates of B and B* meson systems are derived in short-range NREFT from two-body input alone.
Perturbative N3LO calculations in chiral EFT with RG-guided power counting yield robust predictions for light nuclei energies when calibrated on the tritium binding energy.
Pionless EFT calculations find unexpectedly small O(alpha) Coulomb corrections to three-nucleon magnetic moments and GT matrix elements, yielding a fitted prediction for the proton-proton fusion reduced matrix element of 2.776(331).
