Renormalization of the one-pion-exchange interaction

Abstract

A renormalization scheme for the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction based on a subtracted T-matrix equation is proposed and applied to the one-pion-exchange potential supplemented by contact interactions. The singlet and triplet scattering lengths are given to fix the renormalized strengths of the contact interactions. With only one scaling parameter ($\mu$), the results show an overall very good agreement with neutron-proton data, particularly for the observables related to the triplet channel. The agreement is qualitative in the $^1S_0$ channel. Between the low-energy NN observables we have examined, the mixing parameter of the $^3S_1-^3D_1$ states is the most sensible to the scale. The scheme is renormalization group invariant for $\mu\to\infty$.Comment: 16 pages, 4 eps figures, to appear in Nuclear Physics

Renormalizing chiral nuclear forces: A case study of3P0

“…Note that different approaches towards renormalization of nuclear forces are offered in Refs. [13][14][15][16][17][18], and that perturbative pion theory leads to a very different renormalization program [19].…”

“…In particular, subtractive procedures are discussed in [3,4,225,226,228], boundary condition regularization scheme is applied in [240,241,242,243] and dimensional regularization is considered in [227]. In addition, a higher-derivative regularization scheme was applied in Ref.…”

A Padé-Aided Analysis of Nonperturbative NN Scattering in 1 S 0 Channel

“…In other words, appropriate renormalization prescription is needed in nonperturbative regimes. There have been many contributions to this issue [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16] (More could be found in Ref. [2]), among which there are some controversies and debates.…”
