Short-range nuclear forces in singlet channels
Journal Article

· Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics)
Continuing our effort to build a consistent power counting for chiral nuclear effective field theory, we discuss the subleading contact interactions, or counterterms, in the singlet channels of nucleon-nucleon scattering, with renormalization group invariance as the constraint. We argue that the rather large cutoff error of the leading amplitude requires O(Q) of the low-energy approximation to be non-vanishing, contrary to Weinberg's original power counting. This, together with the ultraviolet divergences of two pion exchanges in distorted-wave expansion, leads to enhancement of the 1S0 counterterms and results in a pionless theory-like power counting for the singlet channels.
