No nucleons chiral perturbation theory
One nucleon heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory
Two or more nucleons Nuclear effective theory
Extracting low energy information from QCD in a model independent way:
Hierarchy of scales:
8 MeV,45 MeV m , 270 MeV m
QCD scaleFermi momentum
in nuclei
NN scale (spin singlet), momentum in the
deuteron (spin triplet)
Two consequences:Two consequences:
Bound states within the EFT range of validity
Nuclear EFT is non-perturbativeNuclear EFT is non-perturbative
Two possible EFT’s
““pionfull”pionfull” Qm m
““pionless”pionless” Q ~ 1/a << m
