Dimensional Power Counting in Nuclei
J. L. Friar
Abstract
Weinberg's dimensional power counting for nuclei is reprised in this primer. The role of QCD and chiral symmetry in constructing effective Lagrangians is discussed. The two-scale hypothesis of Manohar and Georgi is combined with power counting in amplitudes to shed light on the scales of nuclear kinetic and potential energies, the size of strong-interaction coupling constants, the size of meson-exchange currents, and the relative sizes of N-nucleon forces. Numerous examples are worked out and compared to conventional nuclear models.
