New approach to NN with perturbative pions

Abstract

The current status of effective field theory (EFT) descriptions of nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions is briefly reviewed, and a new formulation of EFT which treats pion interactions perturbatively is presented. This approach differs from the Kaplan-Savage-Wise (KSW) expansion in that the singular short distance part of the pion tensor interaction is summed to all orders.
