Title: Modern Theory of Nuclear Forces

Speaker: Prof. Evgeny Epelbaum (Ruhr University Bochum, Germany) 

Time: 15:00-17:00, Apr. 1 (Monday), 2024 

Place: Lecture hall, Building 6 

Abstract:  

Chiral effective field theory has become a standard tool to analyze low-energy reactions involving pions, nucleons and external electroweak sources. The speaker will briefly describe conceptual foundations of this method, review recent efforts towards developing it into a precision tool for low-energy nuclear physics and discuss some of the remaining challenges.
