  26. Why do we need 3NFs beyond NNLO? • The 2NF is N3LO; • consistency requires that all contributions are at the same order. • There are unresolved problems in 3N, 4N scattering and nuclear structure. The unfinished business Vietri, Italy, 22 May 2010

  36. Interim balance • The 3NF at N3LO may be generally weak. • Reason: only “leading” vertices are involved, which are known to be weak (e.g., from NN). • Thus, the 3NF at N3LO may not solve any of the outstanding problems. The unfinished business Vietri, Italy, 22 May 2010

  43. So, we will have to go to N4LO!? • No, not necessarily. • There is an alternative: go to N3LO, but include Δ(1232) isobars explicitly. The unfinished business Vietri, Italy, 22 May 2010

  46. However, there is a however … • For reasons of consistency, the 2NF must then also include Δ’s, up to N3LO! • It will be a big mess! The unfinished business Vietri, Italy, 22 May 2010

  47. Conclusions • Substantial advances in chiral nuclear forces during the past decade. The major milestone of the decade: “high precision” NN pots. at N3LO, successful in nuclear structure. But there are still issues: • 3NFs beyond N2LO are needed! • The 3NF at N3LO of the Δ-less theory may be weak and useless. • This calls for further 3NF contributions: - Δ-less N4LO or - Δ-full N3LO, they will be large, but none will be easy. • ChPT of nuclear forces has been fairly easy and straightforward, so far; but what’s left won’t be easy, no matter how you do it.
