Vacuum Nucleon Loops and Naturalness
R. J. Furnstahl, Brian D. Serot, Hua-Bin Tang
Phenomenological studies support the applicability of naturalness and naive dimensional analysis to hadronic effective lagrangians for nuclei. However, one-baryon-loop vacuum contr…
Pion-Nucleon Scattering at Low Energies
Paul J. Ellis, Hua-Bin Tang
We study pion-nucleon scattering at tree level with a chiral lagrangian of pions, nucleons, and -isobars using a K-matrix unitarization procedure. Evaluating the scattering ampl…
A Chiral Effective Lagrangian for Nuclei
R. J. Furnstahl, Brian D. Serot, Hua-Bin Tang
An effective hadronic lagrangian consistent with the symmetries of quantum chromodynamics and intended for applications to finite-density systems is constructed. The degrees of fre…
A New Approach to Chiral Perturbation Theory for Matter Fields
Hua-Bin Tang
I propose a prescription for separating the high- and low-energy contributions in effective field theories. This prescription allows a relativistic treatment of matter fields in ch…
Redundance of -isobar Parameters in Effective Field Theories
Hua-Bin Tang, Paul J. Ellis
It is shown that the off-shell parameters in the interaction Lagrangian of pions, nucleons, and -isobars are redundant in the framework of effective field theories. Our results…
