Wolfenstein Amplitudes Derived from a Chiral NN Interaction up to N4LO

ORAL

Abstract

Chiral nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions are successful at describing two and three nucleon forces, and in

the two-nucleon sector their constants are fitted to NN observables.

This talk focuses on the Epelbaum-Krebs-Meissner (EKM) NN interaction with a local coordinate-space regulator.

From a given NN interaction, one usually calculates phase shifts, which are then used to determine scattering

observables.

An intermediate step is to construct Wolfenstein amplitudes from the phase shifts, which may allow to

investigate their connection to the operator structure of the NN interaction.

In this talk, the Wolfenstein amplitudes and their dependence on the NN laboratory energy up to 200 MeV

as well as the cutoff parameter will be shown. Furthermore, the contributions of the different partial waves

to each amplitude will be investigated.
