Nuclear physics with an effective field theory around the unitarity limit
Abstract
I outline the first steps in the process of describing nuclear ground states with an expansion around two-body unitarity. At leading order, the effective field theory displays discrete scale invariance with a single dimensionful parameter, which determines all ground-state and low-lying excitation energies. Sub-leading corrections are smaller and perturbative. Results for light nuclei, large bosonic clusters at unitarity, and nuclear matter are reported. ; U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics [DE-FG02-04ER41338]; European Union Research and Innovation program Horizon 2020 [654002] ; Open access journal ; This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
