We present an alternative organizational scheme for developing effective theories of 2- and 3-body systems that is systematic, accurate, and efficient with controlled errors. To illustrate our approach we consider the bound state and scattering properties of the 2- and 3-nucleon systems. Our approach combines the computational benefits of using separable potentials with the improved convergence properties of potentials evolved with a renormalization group procedure. Long ago Harms showed that any potential can be expanded in a series of separable terms, but this fact is only useful if the expansion can be truncated at low order. The separable expansion provides an attractive organizational scheme that incorporates the two body bound state in the leading term while allowing for systematic corrections thereafter. We show that when applied to a renormalization group-evolved potential, the separable expansion converges rapidly, with accurate results for both 2- and 3-body scattering processes using only two separable terms.
We investigate the electromagnetic properties of the deuteron such as the charge and magnetic form factors by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) with the separable ansatz. In solving the deuteron bound state solution to the BSE, we include neg
One important ingredient for many applications of nuclear physics to astrophysics, nuclear energy, and stockpile stewardship are cross sections for reactions of neutrons with rare isotopes. Since direct measurements are often not feasible, indirect m
Treating the strange quark mass as a heavy scale compared to the light quark mass, we perform a matching of the nucleon mass in the SU(3) sector to the two-flavor case in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. The validity of the $19$ low-energ
We discuss the role of the three-nucleon isospin T=3/2 amplitude in elastic neutron-deuteron scattering and in the deuteron breakup reaction. The contribution of this amplitude originates from charge-independence breaking of the nucleon-nucleon poten
We examine nucleon-nucleon realistic interactions, based on their SU(3) decomposition to SU(3)-symmetric components. We find that many of these interaction components are negligible, which, in turn, allows us to identify a subset of physically releva
