The Two-Nucleon Sector with Effective Field Theory
Abstract
I present the results obtained for several observables in the two-nucleon sector using effective field theory with KSW power-counting and dimensional regularization. In addition to the phase shifts for nucleon-nucleon scattering, several deuteron observables are discussed, including electromagnetic form factors, polarizabilities, gamma+d -> gamma+d Compton scattering, and n+p -> d+gamma. A detailed comparison between the effective field theory with pions, the theory without pions, and effective range theory is made.
