The nuclear physics landscape has been redesigned as a sequence of effective field theories (EFTs) connected to the Standard Model through symmetries and lattice simulations of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). EFTs in this sequence are expansions around different low-energy limits of QCD, each with its own characteristics, scales, and ranges of applicability regarding energy and number of nucleons. We review each of the three main nuclear EFTs -- Chiral, Pionless, Halo/Cluster -- highlighting their similarities, differences, and connections. In doing so, we survey the structural properties and reactions of nuclei that have been derived from the ab initio solution of the few- and many-body problem built upon EFT input.

  1. Deuterium-Proton Fusion in an Effective Field Theory Constructed from On-Shell Amplitudes

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A nuclear-state on-shell EFT yields S(0)=0.209±0.008 eV b for d(p,γ)3He and traces the ab initio-data offset to a natural t_E1≈−0.15 contact term.

  2. Chiral Effective Field Theories for Strong and Weak Dynamics

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper constructs complete and minimal relativistic operator bases for nucleon-nucleon, pion-nucleon-nucleon, and three-nucleon sectors up to p6, and a spurion-based leptonic sector up to p4, using Hilbert series a...

  3. Constructing Effective Interactions via Projection-Based Inversion

    nucl-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Discrete energy levels from truncated many-body calculations are inverted, via a Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problem emulator, into effective contact interactions that yield scattering phase shifts and resonance predictions.

  4. Perturbative calculations of nucleon-deuteron elastic scattering in chiral effective field theory

    nucl-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A fixed-kernel perturbation framework computes nucleon-deuteron scattering up to next-to-leading order in chiral EFT, benchmarked against wave-packet continuum discretization.

  5. Short-distance production of three particles with large scattering length

    nucl-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Short-distance production of three neutrons in pionless EFT is dominated by the P-wave and shows no resonance-like structure; three bosons show Efimov-resonance peaks, and effective-range corrections are small.

  6. Quantum Monte Carlo calculation of $\delta_{\rm NS}$ in $^{10}$C using an effective field theory approach

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The first quantum Monte Carlo evaluation of the nuclear-structure-dependent radiative correction in carbon-10 confirms the NCSM dispersion result, with the residual uncertainty set by two undetermined low-energy constants.

  7. Hypernuclei with Neural Network Quantum States

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Neural network quantum states, extended to include Lambda hyperons, reproduce hypernuclear separation energies to within roughly 9% and predict the observed proton-radius shrinkage in 7ΛLi.

  8. The breakdown scale of pionless effective field theory in the three-nucleon sector

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bayesian analysis of NLO and N2LO neutron-deuteron cross sections places the pionless EFT breakdown scale near 100 MeV, and combining with neutron-proton data shifts the mode close to the pion mass.

  9. From bare two-nucleon interaction to nuclear matter and finite nuclei in a relativistic framework

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A leading-order relativistic chiral two-nucleon force, with four constants fit to scattering data, describes nuclear matter saturation and medium-mass nuclei binding energies and radii without three-nucleon forces.

  10. Order-by-order uncertainties of nucleon-nucleon Wolfenstein amplitudes in chiral effective field theory

    nucl-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    BUQEYE Gaussian-process uncertainty analysis of chiEFT Wolfenstein amplitudes yields truncation errors that cover higher-order and CD-Bonn results at NLO and beyond, with a fitted breakdown scale near 750 MeV.

  11. Systematic study of large-momentum distribution in nuclei with the operator product expansion

    nucl-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using OPE matched to Pionless EFT, the authors reproduce the deuteron's high-momentum nucleon distribution from scattering-state inputs, validating the method against the AV18 potential.

  12. Investigating the two-pion exchange of the double charm $DD^*$ chiral interactions and $T_{cc}$

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In this chiral EFT calculation the I=0 DD* two-pion-exchange potential is repulsive, and its near-cancellation with attractive contact and one-pion terms provides the weak binding of Tcc.

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper argues that quenched g_A ≈ 1 in nuclei and the pseudo-conformal sound speed v_s^2/c^2 ≈ 1/3 in compact stars are parallel signals of one emergent hidden scale symmetry.

    nucl-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review of the relativistic chiral nuclear force, presenting the Beihang group's own NNLO results for nucleon-nucleon scattering and promising faster convergence than the standard Weinberg approach.

    nucl-th 2026-07 unverdicted

    A community white paper summarizing the current state and future directions of nuclear beta-decay studies at FRIB, with no new quantitative result.
