Effective field theory allows for a systematic and model-independent derivation of the forces between nucleons in harmony with the symmetries of Quantum Chromodynamics. We review the foundations of this approach and discuss its application for light nuclei at various resolution scales. The extension of this approach to many-body systems is briefly sketched.

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Quadratic WIMP-ALP coupling induces coherent freeze-out that allows WIMP annihilation cross sections up to 1000 times larger than standard while matching relic density, plus an ALP miracle where Planck-suppressed coup...

  4. From binding and saturation to criticality in nuclear matter with lattice effective field theory

    nucl-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Improved leading-order lattice Hamiltonians lower the liquid-gas critical temperature of symmetric nuclear matter to 13.50(17)-13.71(19) MeV while improving zero-temperature binding energies and saturation point.

  5. Bootstrapping Two-Nucleon Effective Field Theories

    nucl-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Bootstrap consistency checks show that the NLO chiral EFT potential for the 1S0 two-nucleon wave remains valid over a significantly wider energy range than the LO version when compared to Granada phase shifts.

  6. The EDM inverse problem: Identifying the sources of CP violation and PQ breaking with electric dipole moments

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Six classes of CP-violating operators near the QCD scale produce distinct EDM patterns that enable discrimination of their origins and distinguish high-scale versus low-energy sources of the axion vacuum expectation value.
