Renormalization of NN Chiral EFT, my personal mixed feelings

Abstract

We are celebrating thirty-years from the seminal papers from Weinberg proposing to use the rules of Chiral Perturbation Theory to nucleon systems. His proposal was to build an Effective Field Theory (EFT) with Chiral symmetry as a key property. A big effort on this line have been made during these three decades, however the issue of renormalization of the theory is not settled. I will briefly review my path on this issue and give my personal view.
