The Theory of Nuclear Forces: Is the Never-Ending Story Coming to an End?
arXiv:nucl-th/0701077 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2007.03.051
Abstract
I review the recent progress in our understanding of nuclear forces in terms of an effective field theory (EFT) for low-energy QCD and put this progress into historical perspective. This is followed by an assessment of the current status of EFT based nuclear potentials. In concluding, I will summarize some unresolved issues.
