We study ground-state energies and charge radii of closed-shell medium-mass nuclei based on novel chiral nucleon-nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (3N) interactions, with a focus on exploring the connections between finite nuclei and nuclear matter. To this end, we perform in-medium similarity renormalization group (IM-SRG) calculations based on chiral interactions at next-to-leading order (NLO), N$^2$LO, and N$^3$LO, where the 3N interactions at N$^2$LO and N$^3$LO are fit to the empirical saturation point of nuclear matter and to the triton binding energy. Our results for energies and radii at N$^2$LO and N$^3$LO overlap within uncertainties, and the cutoff variation of the interactions is within the EFT uncertainty band. We find underbound ground-state energies, as expected from the comparison to the empirical saturation point. The radii are systematically too large, but the agreement with experiment is better. We further explore variations of the 3N couplings to test their sensitivity in nuclei. While nuclear matter at saturation density is quite sensitive to the 3N couplings, we find a considerably weaker dependence in medium-mass nuclei. In addition, we explore a consistent momentum-space SRG evolution of these NN and 3N interactions, exhibiting improved many-body convergence. For the SRG-evolved interactions, the sensitivity to the 3N couplings is found to be stronger in medium-mass nuclei.
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-o
Determination of the proper power-counting scheme is an important issue for the systematic application of Chiral Effective Field Theory in nuclear physics. We analyze the cutoff dependence of three-nucleon observables (the neutron-deuteron scattering
We discuss the results of a systematic calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order amplitude for the pp -> pppi^0 S-wave production at the threshold in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory. We find six new diagrams, two of which can be viewed
We determine an approximate expression for the O(alpha_s^3) contribution chi_2 to the kernel of the BFKL equation, which includes all collinear and anticollinear singular contributions. This is derived using recent results on the relation between the
We develop further an approach to computing energy-energy correlations (EEC) directly from finite correlation functions. In this way, one completely avoids infrared divergences. In maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory ($mathcal{N}=4$ sYM), we d
