Charge Form Factors of Light Nuclei in Chiral Effective Field Theory

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1993595

We use potentials and charge operators derived in chiral effective field theory ($$\chi$$EFT) to calculate charge form factors of $A=2-4$ nuclei up to next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (N4LO). The sensitivity of the results is studied as function of the cutoff $$\Lambda$$ in the chiral potentials and charge operators. We also present results obtained in a hybrid approach using the conventional AV18 potential and the $$\chi$$EFT charge operators. The theoretical results are compared to the experimental data for momentum transfers $$Q$$ up to $$(2-3)\,m_{\pi}$$. Reasonable agreement is obtained between theory and experiment.
