abstract

We apply the effective field theory approach to the three-nucleon system. In particular, we consider S=1/2 neutron-deuteron scattering and the triton. We show that in this channel a unique nonperturbative renormalization takes place which requires the introduction of a single three-body force at leading order. With one fitted parameter we find a good description of low-energy data. Invariance under the renormalization group explains some universal features of the three-nucleon system ---such as the Thomas and Efimov effects and the Phillips line--- and the origin of SU(4) symmetry in nuclei.

Short-range production of three bottom mesons

hep-ph · 2025-11-27 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

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.

Coulomb Corrections to Three-Nucleon Moments

nucl-th · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

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).
