Kolck, Pion Renormalization but leading-order value not so great because of kinetic-potential energy cancellation!?

33 Can one integrate out the delta with small error? o! Pandharipande, Phillips + v.k. 5 EFT folklore: in nuclei, Q E m Δ m can integrate out delta m with small error + O Q m = O ( mδ m ) m m But b h A = 4d = f m Δ m ( mδ m ) ( m ) h 4 A b = d = f mδ m 4 m m % error 9/9/6 v. Kolck, Pion Renormalization

34 scattering: E Q m Δ m + + O Q = O ( mδ m ) m Δ m Q m while m m + Δ Q m extrapolation E m involved at threshold relatively large error from the scattering fit leaks into force m Δ m m best strategy is not to integrate out delta (cf. Ordonez, Ray + v.k. 96 Gerstendoerfer, Kaiser + Weise 98) 9/9/6 v. Kolck, Pion Renormalization 4

35 Conclusions and Outlook EFT allows a systematic, model-independent, unified description of strong interactions at low energies Power counting complicated by nonperturbative nature of nuclei Weinberg s power counting not entirely correct due to failure of DA in attractive-tensor channels where pions have to be iterated ew power counting has been formulated: more counterterms at each order relative to Weinberg s; expect even better description of observables Consistency and convergence of new power counting yet to be checked: LO calculation of two-nucleon other few-nucleon systems Finally a consistent and efficient power counting in the pionful EFT?! 9/9/6 v.
