Nuclear Physics with Chiral Effective Field Theory: State of the Art and Open Challenges

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Understanding the properties of atomic nuclei and nuclear dynamics from QCD remains a major challenge. Complementary to first attempts along these lines based on lattice QCD, an effective field theory approach has been developed in the past two decades and applied to a variety of nuclear bound states and reactions. I outline the foundations of this method, review selected applications and address some open challenges in this field.
