SYNU: Symposium From QCD to Nuclei

SYNU 2: From QCD to Nuclei

SYNU 2.1: Plenary Talk

Recent Results in Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory — •Dean Lee — North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA

This talk reviews some recent progress made by the Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory Collaboration. In the first part I discuss an ab initio calculation of alpha-alpha scattering. This calculation uses a technique called the adiabatic projection method. In the second part I present evidence that low-density nuclear matter is near a quantum phase transition and discuss the consequences for the binding of protons and neutrons within nuclei.
