abstract

We derive the sub-subleading two-pion exchange contributions to the three-nucleon force which appear at next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory. In order to determine the low-energy constants, a complete analysis of pion-nucleon scattering at the subleading-loop order in the heavy-baryon expansion is carried out utilizing the power counting scheme employed in the derivation of the nuclear forces. We discuss the convergence of the chiral expansion for this particular three-nucleon force topology and give the values of the low-energy constants which provide the most realistic description of the three-nucleon force when the chiral expansion is truncated at next-to-next-to-leading order.

Challenging chiral EFT with tritium beta decay

nucl-th · 2026-06-25 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Chiral EFT predictions at N2LO for the tritium Gamow-Teller matrix element, with parameters fixed from scattering, overestimate the empirical value and indicate large higher-order corrections.

Scrutiny of the new class of three-nucleon forces

nucl-th · 2025-12-16 · conditional · novelty 3.0

After removing renormalization-scheme-dependent short-distance parts, the scrutinized three-nucleon forces yield small contributions to neutron and symmetric nuclear matter equations of state, aligning with standard chiral EFT expectations.

  • Can the strong interactions between hadrons be determined using femtoscopy? nucl-th · 2025-04-11 · unverdicted · none · ref 52 · internal anchor

    The universality assumption in the Koonin-Pratt formula for femtoscopic correlations introduces potentially large intrinsic uncertainty when extracting strong interactions between hadrons like nucleons.
