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…
Effective Field Theory, Black Holes, and the Cosmological Constant
Andrew G. Cohen, David B. Kaplan, Ann E. Nelson
Bekenstein has proposed the bound S < pi M_P^2 L^2 on the total entropy S in a volume L^3. This non-extensive scaling suggests that quantum field theory breaks down in large volume…
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…
