Summary

A low-energy expansion for nuclear interactions and currents using nucleons, pions or pionless degrees of freedom according to the scale.

Chiral perturbation theoryNuclear effective field theory

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Nuclear chiral EFT extends the low-energy chiral expansion to nucleons, nuclear forces, and currents.

How to interpret this relation type

A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

Quantum chromodynamicsNuclear effective field theory

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Nuclear EFT matches QCD symmetries and low-energy constants using nucleons and pions or pionless degrees of freedom.

How to interpret this relation type

The target retains the degrees of freedom and interactions relevant below a stated scale or within a stated regime, while higher-energy or unresolved degrees of freedom from the source are integrated out, coarse-grained, or encoded in effective couplings.

Nuclear effective field theoryNuclear force

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Nuclear EFT organizes two-, three-, and higher-nucleon forces and currents by power counting.

How to interpret this relation type

A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Nuclear EFT generates and organizes irreducible three-nucleon forces together with two-nucleon forces and currents.

How to interpret this relation type

A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
