Low density low interaction energy low resolution

38 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF Quark (QCD) vs. Hadronic NN Interaction Old goal: replace hadronic descriptions at ordinary nuclear densities with quark description (since QCD is the theory) New goal: use effective hadronic dof s systematically

39 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF Quark (QCD) vs. Hadronic NN Interaction Old goal: replace hadronic descriptions at ordinary nuclear densities with quark description (since QCD is the theory) New goal: use effective hadronic dof s systematically Seek model independence and theory error estimates Future: Use lattice QCD to match via low-energy constants Need quark dof s at higher densities (resolutions) where phase transitions happen

40 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF Making Progress on Complicated Problems General theoretical approach to complicated problems = replace something complicated by something simpler without distorting the physics allow for systematic improvement with estimate of error limited but well-defined regime of applicability Models fall short! Effective Field Theory = use local field theory low energy = low resolution choose appropriate low-energy degrees of freedom = contact interactions + long-range physics powerful renormalization tools

41 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF How Do We Calculate Systematically? Use physics insight to identify small parameters = Expand! Basic mathematical tool = Taylor series expansion in simplest case, expand f (x) for small x: f (x) = a + a 1 x + a 2 x 2 + a 3 x 3 + example: sin(x) = x 1 6 x x 5 + truncation error depends on size of x and size of coefficient Does this work for any function of x? No, it fails for nonanalytic functions (like x or ln x) EFT uses analog of Taylor expansion and dimensional analysis estimate truncation error without calculating next term non-analytic behavior generated explicitly

42 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF Simplifying a Problem: A Falling Eraser Conventional Physics 11 approach to dropping an eraser: F = mg = constant acceleration But gravititational force is different between hand and floor! = How do you justify ignoring this? Identify ratio of length scales as small expansion parameter Expand exact result for g for small height r above floor: g GM e ( r + R e ) 2 = GM e R 2 e 2(GM e) r R 3 e + 3(GM e)( r) 2 R 4 e + O[( r) 3 ].

43 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF We identify a small, dimensionless parameter x r/r e : g = GM e Re 2 (1 2x + 3x 2 + O[x 3 ]) we verify that this is the correct choice of scales because coefficients are natural (order unity) = estimate truncation error without exact solution! there may be multiple scales and/or combinatoric factors But we can also apply this approach without knowing the answer! postulate a Taylor expansion in x with unknown coefficients

44 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF EFT Analogy: Relativistic Kinetic Energy K (v 2 ) If we couldn t calculate K (v 2 ) of an e at (low) speed v? Can do the experiment: [W. Bertozzi, Am. J. Phys. 32 (1964) 551]

45 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF EFT Analogy: Symmetries and Naturalness Analyzing K at low energies without knowing the answer... Use known symmetries to constrain K : What could K depend on ( free particle )? x?, t?, v? Hint: space is homogenous and isotropic, time is homogenous Symmetries = K depends only on v 2 v 2 Subtlety: K is analytic (otherwise v could appear) EFT form: K eft (v 2 ) = 1 2 mv 2 [a + a 2 v 2 + a 4 v 4 + ] All terms in [ ] must be dimensionless = introduce scale of velocity (call it c ) Physics assumption: only one velocity scale

46 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF Final form: K eft (v 2 ) = 1 2 mv 2 [b + b 2 (v/c) 2 + b 4 (v/c) 4 + ] If correct c = O(1) dimensionless constants b i (naturalness) Power counting : each order = two powers of (v/c) = truncation error estimate find coefficients b i by matching to experiment or theory match at lowest values of v, where EFT is most accurate K error v v

47 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF Matching to Theoretical Calculation Suppose square roots were expensive to calculate = for small (v/c), it s cheaper to evaluate effective theory! Start with EFT: K eft (v 2 ) = 1 2 mv 2 [b + b 2 (v/c) 2 + b 4 (v/c) 4 + ] Match to underlying theory = Taylor expand K exact : K exact = mc 2 [1/ 1 (v/c) 2 1] = mv mv 4 8c 2 + 5mv 6 16c mv 8 128c 6 + O(v 1 ). read off b i : b = 1, b 2 = 3 4, b 4 = 5 8, b 6 = 35 64, could even match at unphysical speed (e.g., imaginary v) Now use K eft for any particle with a small velocity Coefficients of (v/c) 2 are natural = predict truncation error!

55 Overview DOFs EFT UNEDF Resolution SRG Principle Taylor Analogy Chiral EFT 3NF Tidal Analog to Nuclear 3-Body Forces Microscopic calculations of nuclear properties are complicated by the importance of three-body forces between protons and neutrons. These are analogous to tidal forces: the gravitational force on the Earth is not just the pairwise sum of Earth-Moon and Earth-Sun forces. The computational cost of three-body nuclear forces is high; e.g., a factor of ten for matrix diagonalization methods.
