Nuclear Structure at the Crossroads

Journal Article · · Few-Body Systems

Abstract

Steven Weinberg’s seminal papers from 1990–92 initiated the use of effective field theories (EFTs) for nuclei. We summarize progress, priorities, and open questions for nuclear EFT developments based on the 2019 INT program “Nuclear Structure at the Crossroads.”
