We present a systematic calculation of the cross section for the lepton-proton bremsstrahlung process l + p --> l + p + gamma in chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order. This process corresponds to an undetected background signal for the proposed MUSE experiment at PSI. MUSE is designed to measure elastic scattering of low-energy electrons and muons off a proton target in order to extract a precise value of the protons r.m.s. radius. We show that the commonly used peaking approximation, which is used to evaluate the radiative tail for the elastic cross section, is not applicable for muon-proton scattering at the low-energy MUSE kinematics. Furthermore, we point out a certain pathology with the standard chiral power counting scheme associated with electron scattering, whereby the next-to-next-to-leading order contribution from the pion loop diagrams is kinematically enhanced and numerically of the same magnitude as the next-to-leading order corrections. We correct a misprint in a commonly cited review article.

Drawing on experimental data for baryon resonances, Hamiltonian effective field theory (HEFT) is used to predict the positions of the finite-volume energy levels to be observed in lattice QCD simulations. We have studied the low-lying baryons $N^*(15
35)$, $N^*(1440)$, and $Lambda(1405)$. In the initial analysis, the phenomenological parameters of the Hamiltonian model are constrained by experiment and the finite-volume eigenstate energies are a prediction of the model. The agreement between HEFT predictions and lattice QCD results obtained at finite volume is excellent. These lattice results also admit a more conventional analysis where the low-energy coefficients are constrained by lattice QCD results, enabling a determination of resonance properties from lattice QCD itself. The role and importance of various components of the Hamiltonian model are examined in the finite volume. The analysis of the lattice QCD data can help us to undertand the structure of these states better.
The astrophysical S-factor for proton-proton fusion, S_11(E), is obtained with the nuclear matrix element analytically calculated in pionless effective field theory. To the third order, the zero-energy result S_11(0) and the first energy derivative S
_11(0) are found to be (3.99 pm 0.14)* 10^-25 MeV b and S_11(0)*(11.3 pm 0.1) MeV^-1, respectively; both consistent with the current adopted values. The second energy derivative is also calculated for the first time, and the result S_11(0) = S_11(0)*(170 pm 2) MeV^-2 contributes at the level of 0.5% to the fusion rate at the solar center, which is smaller than 1% as previously estimated.
We use heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory to evaluate the two-photon exchange corrections to the low-energy elastic lepton-proton scattering at next-to-leading order accuracy, i.e., ${mathcal O}(alpha, M^{-1})$, including a non-zero lepton mass.
We consider the elastic proton intermediate state in the two-photon exchange together in the soft photon approximation. The infrared singular contributions are projected out using dimensional regularization. The resulting infrared singularity-free two-photon exchange contribution is in good numerical agreement with existing predictions based on standard diagrammatic soft photon approximation evaluations.
In this paper a role of many-nucleon dynamics in formation of the compound $^{5}{rm Li}$ nucleus in the scattering of protons off $alpha$-particles at the proton incident energies up to 20 MeV is investigated. We propose a bremsstrahlung model allowi
ng to extract information about probabilities of formation of such nucleus on the basis of analysis of experimental cross-sections of the bremsstrahlung photons. In order to realize this approach, the model includes elements of microscopic theory and also probabilities of formation of the short-lived compound nucleus. Results of calculations of the bremsstrahlung spectra are in good agreement with the experimental cross-sections.
We compute the $S$-factor of the proton-proton ($pp$) fusion reaction using chiral effective field theory ($chi$EFT) up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and perform a rigorous uncertainty analysis of the results. We quantify the uncertainties
due to (i) the computational method used to compute the $pp$ cross section in momentum space, (ii) the statistical uncertainties in the low-energy coupling constants of $chi$EFT, (iii) the systematic uncertainty due to the $chi$EFT cutoff, and (iv) systematic variations in the database used to calibrate the nucleon-nucleon interaction. We also examine the robustness of the polynomial extrapolation procedure, which is commonly used to extract the threshold $S$-factor and its energy-derivatives. By performing a statistical analysis of the polynomial fit of the energy-dependent $S$-factor at several different energy intervals, we eliminate a systematic uncertainty that can arise from the choice of the fit interval in our calculations. In addition, we explore the statistical correlations between the $S$-factor and few-nucleon observables such as the binding energies and point-proton radii of $^{2,3}$H and $^3$He as well as the $D$-state probability and quadrupole moment of $^2$H, and the $beta$-decay of $^{3}$H. We find that, with the state-of-the-art optimization of the nuclear Hamiltonian, the statistical uncertainty in the threshold $S$-factor cannot be reduced beyond 0.7%.
