We use a toy model to illustrate how to build effective theories for singular potentials. We consider a central attractive 1/r^2 potential perturbed by a 1/r^4 correction. The power-counting rule, an important ingredient of effective theory, is established by seeking the minimum set of short-range counterterms that renormalize the scattering amplitude. We show that leading-order counterterms are needed in all partial waves where the potential overcomes the centrifugal barrier, and that the additional counterterms at next-to-leading order are the ones expected on the basis of dimensional analysis.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
