Song et al. [Phys. Rev. C 102, 065208 (2020)] presented results for the $Lambda_c N$ interaction based on an extrapolation of lattice simulations by the HAL QCD Collaboration at unphysical quark masses to the physical point via covariant chiral effective field theory. We point out that their predictions for the $^3D_1$ partial wave disagree with available lattice results. We discuss the origin of that disagreement and present a comparison with predictions from conventional (non-relativistic) chiral effective field theory.
Motivated by the recent experimental measurements of differential cross sections of the $Sigma^{-}p$ elastic scattering in the momentum range of $470$ to $850$ MeV$/c$ by the J-PARC E$40$ experiment, we extend our previous studies of $S=-1$ hyperon-nucleon interactions to relatively higher energies up to $900$ MeV$/c$ for both the coupled-channel $Lambda prightarrow(Lambda p, Sigma^{+}n, Sigma^{0}p)$, $Sigma^{-}prightarrow(Lambda n, Sigma^{0}n, Sigma^{-}p)$ and single-channel $Sigma^{+}prightarrowSigma^{+}p$ reactions. We show that although the leading order covariant chiral effective field theory is only constrained by the low energy data, it can describe the high energy data very well, in particular, the J-PARC E40 differential cross sections. In particular, we predict a pronounced cusp structure close to the $Sigma N$ threshold in the $Lambda pto Lambda p$ reaction, which can be checked in the future using, e.g., the Femtoscopy technique. The predicted total and differential cross sections are of relevance for ongoing and planned experiments.
We explore the effects on nuclear bulk properties of using regularization cutoffs larger than the nucleon mass within the chiral effective field theory using a power counting that ensures order-by-order renormalization in the two-nucleon system. To do so we calculate ground-state properties of the $^{16}$O nucleus in the Hartree--Fock approach in a basis made up of plane waves confined in a cube. We find a strong sensitivity to the regularization cutoff through the counter-terms in attractive singular partial waves and to the correction for spurious deeply bound states. This questions the possibility of testing in nuclei the renormalization-group invariance of renormalizable potentials from chiral effective field theory at leading order. A possible way out of this problem is proposed.
We propose an arrangement of the most commonly invoked version of the two-nucleon chiral potential such that the low-lying amplitude zero of the 1S0 partial wave is captured at leading order of the effective expansion. Adopting other partial waves from the LENPIC interaction, we show how this modification yields an improved description of ground-state energies and point-proton radii of three test nuclei.
We study the prospects for deducing constraints on the interaction of charmed baryons with nucleons from measurements of two-particle momentum correlation functions for $Lambda_c p$. The correlation functions are calculated for $Lambda_c N$ and $Sigma_c N$ interactions that have been extrapolated from lattice QCD simulations at unphysical masses of $m_pi=410-570$ MeV to the physical point using chiral effective field theory as guideline. In addition, we consider phenomenological $Y_c N$ models from the literature to explore the sensitivity of the results to the properties of the interaction in detail. We find that a measurement of the $Lambda_c p$ correlation functions could indeed allow one to discriminate between strongly attractive $Lambda_c N$ forces, as predicted by some phenomenological models, and a weakly attractive interaction as suggested by the presently available lattice simulations.
We study the scattering of a pseudoscalar meson off one ground state octet baryon in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory (BChPT) up to the next-to-next-to-leading order. The inherent power counting breaking terms are removed within extended-on-mass-shell scheme. We perform the first combined study of the pion-nucleon and kaon-nucleon scattering data in covariant BChPT and show that it can provide a reasonable description of the experimental data. In addition, we find that it is possible to fit the experimental baryon masses and the pion-nucleon and kaon-nucleon scattering data simultaneously at this order, thus providing a consistent check on covariant BChPT. We compare the scattering lengths of all the pertinent channels with available experimental data and those of other approaches. In addition, we have studied the leading order contributions of the virtual decuplet and found that they can improve the description of the $pi N$ phase shifts near the $Delta(1232)$ peak, while they have negligible effects on the description of the $K N$ phase shifts.
