NON-PC ABOUT PC A SERMON

Why? Chiral “EFT” potentials based on Weinberg’s power counting

widely used in nuclear physics because of their supposed link to QCD

Problem: Weinberg’s power counting inconsistent with renormalization

The problem doesn’t exist: Renormalization not important

Kaplan, Savage + Wise ’96, …, Nogga, Timmermans + Nogga ’05, …

Epelbaum + Meissner ’06, …, Epelbaum + Gegelia ’09, …

Anyway, there is a solution for the problem that doesn’t exist: Relativity essential in a non-relativistic problem

Epelbaum + Gegelia ’12

(Oh, yeah, this solution doesn’t completely solve the problem that doesn’t exist ---counterterms still need to be promoted--- but that is a detail

which barely needs acknowledgement…)

Solution: Certain counterterms appear at lower order than expected; subleading terms should be treated in perturbation theory

Moral: faced with W PC vs RG, choose RG

Some lessons: 1) fine-tuning necessary for large scattering lengths can be incorporated into PC for amplitude 2) non-perturbative renormalization intrinsically different from renormalization of corresponding perturbative series 3) one gains no understanding of the renormalization of the A-body system by just monkeying around with higher-order terms in the A-1-body system 4) NDA has very limited usefulness; e.g., three-body force of very high order by NDA, but renormalization requires it at LO 5) subleading interactions must be treated in perturbation theory 6) fully consistent theory works well for very low-energy processes involving (at least) light nuclei and cold atoms, incorporating universal properties such as the Efimov effect, Phillips and Tjon lines, Wigner SU(4), …; yet, mostly ignored by nuclear physics community

Some Results 1) manifestly consistent PC 2) rescues NDA for chiral symmetry-breaking operators 3) converges only for Q < 100-150 MeV; at that point pion tensor force no longer perturbative

The Counter-Reformation Epelbaum, Gloeckle + Meissner ’98 …

Entem + Machleidt ’03 …

Ekstroem et al., last week

Countless improvements under W PC: 1) elimination of redundant operators 2) correction of some mistakes 3) smart choice of regulator (cutoff not on transferred momentum, to decouple effects of short-range interactions on various partial waves) 4) careful treatment of relativistic corrections … N) fits to NN data at O(Q^4) without delta of similar quality as purely phenomenological pots

Chiral “EFT” becomes input of choice for a new generation of ab initio methods for light and medium-mass nuclei

Faced with W PC vs RG, choose W’s PC

so that one can think of T as an expansion around the chiral limit, only necessary resummation being that of the tensor force: o singlet channels ~ KSW (solves the W problem with chiral symmetry breaking) o triplet channels ~ W (solves the KSW problem of convergence)

30

New, emerging PC: LO: OPE plus needed counterterms (one per wave where OPE is non-perturbative, singular, attractive) subLOs: NPE given by ChPT plus counterterms given by NDA with respect to the lowest order they appear at, treated in perturbation theory

Root of the problem: pion exchanges (long-ranged, contribute to waves higher than S)

are singular (sensitive to short-range physics, require counterterms)

This has NOthing to do with relativity… (For the opposite opinion, see Epelbaum + Gegelia ’12)

(contrast with Epelbaum + Gegelia ’09, who suggest: if you cannot take a large cutoff when treating certain subLOs non-perturbatively,

don’t take a large cutoff. )

Conclusion & Outlook much has been learned about EFT in a non-perturbative context

non-analytic parts of long-range pots derived a chiral EFT NN amplitude consistent with RG being constructed compared to the NN amplitude obtained with W PC: it contains more counterterms (thus parameters) at a given order but subLOs require perturbation theory (sorry, but that is what physics asks of you) details still being worked out, but first results suggest possibility of better fits to data than W PC; perhaps a “realistic” amplitude emerges at NNNLO? few-body forces and currents remain to be studied; effects could be substantial since they are tied to NN amplitude
