Title: ELECTROMAGNETIC PROCESSES IN $$\chi$$EFT

Conference ·
OSTI ID:956215

Nuclear electromagnetic currents derived in a chiral-effective-field-theory framework including explicit nucleons, $$\Delta$$ isobars, and pions up to N$^2$$LO, {\it i.e.} ignoring loop corrections, are used in a study of neutron radiative captures on protons and deuterons at thermal energies, and of $$A$$=2 and 3 nuclei magnetic moments. With the strengths of the $$\Delta$$-excitation currents determined to reproduce the $$n$$-$$p$$ cross section and isovector combination of the trinucleon magnetic moments, we find that the cross section and photon circular polarization parameter, measured respectively in $$n$$-$$d$$ and $$\vec{n}$$-$$d$ processes, are significantly underpredicted by theory.
