  2. Outline • Effective Field Theories • Shallow Bound States: and , and • Narrow Resonances: and • Outlook U. van Kolck, EFTs of Light Nuclei

  3. Wanted fDead sor s Alive QCDEXPLANATIONOFNUCLEARPHYSICS Reward understanding of gross features: Why is ? How large are few-nucleon forces? Why is isospin a good symmetry? … Beware coupling constants not small U. van Kolck, EFTs of Light Nuclei

  4. What is Effective? local underlying symmetries renormalization-group invariance U. van Kolck, EFTs of Light Nuclei

  5. normalization non-analytic, from loops “power counting” e.g. # loops L For Q ~ m, truncate consistently with RG invariance so as to allow systematic improvement (perturbation theory): U. van Kolck, EFTs of Light Nuclei

  6. Nuclear physics scales “His scales are His pride”, Book of Job (according to J. Friar) perturbative QCD ~1 GeV sum ? hadronic th with chiral symm / ~100 MeV sum ~30 MeV / sum nosmall coupling expansion in U. van Kolck, EFTs of Light Nuclei

  7. Nuclear EFTs pionful EFT • degrees of freedom: nucleons, pions (+ deltas, roper?, …) • symmetries: Lorentz, P, T, chiral • expansion in: non-relativistic multipole pion loop U. van Kolck, EFTs of Light Nuclei
