Pionic Matrix Elements in Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay
Martin J. Savage
Physics beyond the standard model of electroweak interactions that violates lepton number will, in general, induce operators involving the quark and lepton fields that violate lept…
n + p -> d + gamma in Effective Field Theory
Martin J. Savage, Kevin A. Scaldeferri, Mark B. Wise
The radiative capture process n+p-> d+gamma provides clear evidence for meson exchange currents in nuclear physics. We compute this process at low energies using a recently develop…
Gamma-Deuteron Compton Scattering in Effective Field Theory
Jiunn-Wei Chen, Harald W. Griesshammer, Martin J. Savage +1
The differential cross section for gamma-deuteron Compton scattering is computed to next-to-leading order (NLO) in an effective field theory that describes nucleon-nucleon interact…
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…
What Effective Field Theory May Contribute to the Blast Program
Martin J. Savage
Recent progress in using effective field theory to describe two nucleon systems is reviewed.
The Polarizability of the Deuteron
Jiunn-Wei Chen, Harald W. Griesshammer, Martin J. Savage +1
The scalar and tensor polarizabilities of the deuteron are calculated using the recently developed effective field theory that describes nucleon-nucleon interactions. Leading and n…
Parity Violation in Effective Field Theory and the Deuteron Anapole Moment
Martin J. Savage, Roxanne P. Springer
Effective field theory, including pions, provides a consistent and systematic description of nucleon-nucleon strong interactions up to center-of-mass momentum of order 300 MeV per…
Including Pions
Martin J. Savage
Recent progress in using effective field theory to describe systems with two nucleons is discussed with particular emphasis placed on the inclusion of pions. Inconsistencies arisin…
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…
