27 Halo EFT λ Rcore; λ Rhalo 4He n n Define Rhalo=<r 2 > 1/2. Seek EFT expansion in Rcore/Rhalo. Valid for λ Rhalo Typically R Rcore 2 fm. And since <r 2 > is related to the neutron separation energy we are looking for systems with neutron separation energies less than 1 MeV By this definition the deuteron is the lightest halo nucleus, and the pionless EFT for few-nucleon systems is a specific case of halo EFT

62 Summary EFT provides following features for capture reactions Separation of long- and short-distance dynamics Model-independent (and in two-body case) analytic form for S(E) Ability to reproduce reasonable models Extrapolation problem formulated as a marginalization over models Z pr(s(0) data,i)= dmodels pr(s(0) model,i)pr(model data,i) Taking a variety of reasonable models and using them to extrapolate may overestimate the model uncertainty Application of Halo EFT to 7 Be(p,γ) 8 B produces new S(0), consistent with SFII, but with factor two smaller uncertainty S(0) = ev b

63 Stuff I learnt from this study Precise extrapolation can be done even when you don t have 10*n data Model uncertainty can be accommodated, and standard methods may over-estimate it. But it helps to be dong EFT Priors ultimately diagnosable: unconstrained parameters return the prior, and the results we looked at were not sensitive to different choices of prior. Robust Bayesian Analysis? Projected posterior reveals which combinations of parameters are constrained/affect this observable Truncation errors can be assessed Future experiments can be planned for maximum impact
