Chiral effective field theory and nuclear forces
arXiv:1105.2919 · doi:10.1016/j.physrep.2011.02.001
Abstract
We review how nuclear forces emerge from low-energy QCD via chiral effective field theory. The presentation is accessible to the non-specialist. At the same time, we also provide considerable detailed information (mostly in appendices) for the benefit of researchers who wish to start working in this field.
