Dimer Effective Field Theory
Cullen Gantenberg, David B. Kaplan
While chiral perturbation theory for mesons is characterized by a momentum expansion in with GeV, existing formulations of effective theory for nucleon-nucleon…
On the convergence of nuclear effective field theory with perturbative pions
David B. Kaplan
The classic paper by Fleming, Mehen and Stewart cast doubts on the convergence of spin-triplet nucleon-nucleon partial wave scattering amplitudes when following the proposal of Kap…
Entanglement Suppression and Emergent Symmetries of Strong Interactions
Silas R. Beane, David B. Kaplan, Natalie Klco +1
Entanglement suppression in the strong interaction -matrix is shown to be correlated with approximate spin-flavor symmetries that are observed in low-energy baryon interactions,…
Extended QCD
David B. Kaplan
I consider a reformulation of QCD which incorporates additional bosonic fields, and analyze it in the large-N limit. This construction makes a more direct connection with the nonre…
Perturbative nuclear physics
Silas R. Beane, David B. Kaplan, Aleksi Vuorinen
We present a new formulation of effective field theory for nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions which treats pion interactions perturbatively, and we offer evidence that the expansion…
Five lectures on effective field theory
David B. Kaplan
Lectures delivered at the 17th National Nuclear Physics Summer School 2005, Berkeley, CA, June 6-17, 2005.
The Long and Short of Nuclear Effective Field Theory Expansions
David B. Kaplan, James V. Steele
Nonperturbative effective field theory calculations for NN scattering seem to break down at rather low momenta. By examining several toy models, we clarify how effective field theo…
An Effective Field Theory Calculation of the Parity Violating Asymmetry in n+p -> d+gamma
David B. Kaplan, Martin J. Savage, Roxanne P. Springer +1
Weak interactions are expected to induce a parity violating pion-nucleon coupling, h_{πNN}^{(1)}. This coupling should be measurable in a proposed experiment to study the parity vi…
Power Counting and the Renormalization Group for an Effective Description of NN Scattering
David B. Kaplan
I outline the power counting scheme recently introduced by M. Savage, M. Wise and myself for the effective field theory treatment of nucleon-nucleon scattering. It is particularly…
A Perturbative Calculation of the Electromagnetic Form Factors of the Deuteron
David B. Kaplan, Martin J. Savage, Mark B. Wise
Making use of the effective field theory expansion recently developed by the authors, we compute the electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron analytically to next-to-leading or…
A New Expansion for Nucleon-Nucleon Interactions
David B. Kaplan, Martin J. Savage, Mark B. Wise
We introduce a new and well defined power counting for the effective field theory describing nucleon-nucleon interactions. Because of the large NN scattering lengths it differs fro…
Two-Nucleon Systems from Effective Field Theory
David B. Kaplan, Martin J. Savage, Mark B. Wise
We elaborate on a new technique for computing properties of nucleon-nucleon interactions in terms of an effective field theory derived from low energy NN scattering data. Details o…
The Nucleon-Nucleon Potential in the 1/N_c Expansion
David B. Kaplan, Aneesh V. Manohar
The nucleon-nucleon potential is analysed using the 1/N_c expansion of QCD. The NN potential is shown to have an expansion in 1/N_c^2, and the strengths of the leading order centra…
More Effective Field Theory for Nonrelativistic Scattering
David B. Kaplan
An effective field theory treatment of nucleon-nucleon scattering at low energy shows much promise and could prove a useful tool in the study of nuclear matter at both ordinary and…
Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering from Effective Field Theory
David B. Kaplan, Martin J. Savage, Mark B. Wise
We perform a nonperturbative calculation of the 1S0 NN scattering amplitude using an effective field theory (EFT) expansion. The expansion we advocate is a modification of what has…
