abstract
We optimize the nucleon-nucleon interaction from chiral effective field theory at next-to-next- to-leading order. The resulting new chiral force NNLOopt yields \chi^2 \approx 1 per degree of freedom for laboratory energies below approximately 125 MeV. In the A = 3, 4 nucleon systems, the contributions of three-nucleon forces are smaller than for previous parametrizations of chiral interactions. We use NNLOopt to study properties of key nuclei and neutron matter, and demonstrate that many aspects of nuclear structure can be understood in terms of this nucleon-nucleon interaction, without explicitly invoking three-nucleon forces.

Scrutiny of the new class of three-nucleon forces
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.
