abstract

We confirm the claim of Ref. [D.R. Phillips, C. Schat, Phys. Rev. C88 (2013) 3, 034002] that 20 operators are sufficient to represent the most general local isospin-invariant three-nucleon force and derive explicit relations between the two sets of operators suggested in Refs. [D.R. Phillips, C. Schat, Phys. Rev. C88 (2013) 3, 034002] and [H. Krebs, A.M. Gasparyan, E. Epelbaum, Phys.Rev. C87 (2013) 5, 054007]. We use the set of 20 operators to discuss the chiral expansion of the long- and intermediate-range parts of the three-nucleon force up to next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in the standard formulation without explicit Delta(1232) degrees of freedom. We also address implications of the large-N_c expansion in QCD for the size of the various three-nucleon force contributions.

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.
