Electroweak Currents from Chiral Effective Field Theory

Abstract

Since the pioneering work of Weinberg, Chiral Effective Field Theory ($\chi$EFT) has been widely and successfully utilized in nuclear physics to study many-nucleon interactions and associated electroweak currents. Nuclear $\chi$EFT has now developed into an intense field of research and is applied to study light to medium mass nuclei. In this contribution, we focus on the development of electroweak currents from $\chi$EFT and present applications to selected nuclear electroweak observables.
