The longest-range part of the nuclear force from the one-pion exchange governs the energy dependence of the scattering amplitude in the near-threshold region and imposes correlations between the coefficients in the effective range expansion. These correlations may be regarded as low-energy theorems and are known to hold to a high accuracy in the neutron-proton S-3(1) partial wave. We generalize the low-energy theorems to the case of unphysical pion masses and provide results for the correlations between the coefficients in the effective range expansion in this partial wave for pion masses up to M-pi similar to 400 MeV. We discuss the implications of our findings for the available and upcoming lattice-quantum-chromodynamics simulations of two-nucleon observables.

Definition of Local Spatial Densities in Hadrons

E. Epelbaum, J. Gegelia, N. Lange, U-G Meissner, M. Polyakov

Summary: The matrix element of a local operator between hadronic states is used to define the associated spatial density. The charge density of a spinless particle is studied as an example, clarifying its relationship to the electric form factor. The results provide an unconventional interpretation of the spatial densities of local operators and their moments.

Local spatial densities for composite spin-3/2 systems

H. Alharazin, B. -d. Sun, E. Epelbaum, J. Gegelia, U. -g. Meissner

Summary: This article applies the definition of local spatial densities using sharply localized one-particle states to spin-3/2 systems. Matrix elements of the electromagnetic current and the energy-momentum tensor are considered, and integral expressions of associated spatial distributions in terms of form factors are derived.

Renormalization of nuclear chiral effective field theory with nonperturbative leading-order interactions

A. M. Gasparyan, E. Epelbaum

Summary: We extend the renormalizability study of chiral effective field theory with a finite cutoff to nucleon-nucleon scattering, considering nonperturbative effects. The nucleon-nucleon interaction is expanded up to next-to-leading order, with the leading-order interaction treated nonperturbatively. New features related to the renormalization of the effective field theory are revealed, including more stringent constraints on the leading-order potential to ensure renormalizability and correct power counting for the next-to-leading-order amplitude. Numerical analysis of several partial waves in nucleon-nucleon scattering, 3P0, 3S1-3D1, and 1S0, is conducted to illustrate the theoretical findings, discussing cutoff dependence and convergence of the chiral expansion for these channels.

Emergence of heavy quark spin symmetry breaking in heavy quarkonium decays

V. Baru, E. Epelbaum, A. A. Filin, C. Hanhart, A. V. Nefediev

Summary: Heavy-quark spin symmetry applies to the direct decay of heavy quarkonia, but can be overcome in the presence of multiquark intermediate states. The violation of HQSS can be balanced by the narrowness of the intermediate states, resulting in equal transition strengths into final states with different total heavy quark spins. Spin symmetry is restored when the mass of a heavy quark becomes infinite.

Definition of gravitational local spatial densities for spin-0 and spin-1/2 systems

J. Yu. Panteleeva, E. Epelbaum, J. Gegelia, U-G Meissner

Summary: Using spherically symmetric sharply localized wave packets, we determine the details of defining the spatial densities corresponding to the gravitational form factors of spin-0 and spin-1/2 systems. The expressions for the spatial densities are provided in the frames with both zero and non-zero expectation values of the momentum operator.

Pairing properties of semilocal coordinate- and momentum-space regularized chiral interactions

P. Yin, X. L. Shang, J. N. Hu, J. Y. Fu, E. Epelbaum, W. Zuo

Summary: We investigate the pairing properties of state-of-the-art semilocal coordinate-space and semilocal momentum-space regularized chiral interactions. We find weak regulator dependence and robust convergence in the 3SD1 and 1S0 pairing gaps, while chaotic behavior is observed for the 3PF2 results. In addition, discrepancies between the chiral interactions and the Av18 potential in the 3SD1 and 3PF2 channels suggest the need for further constraints on the nucleon-nucleon interactions in these channels at high energies. Furthermore, the different tensor force effects of the chiral interactions and the Av18 potential for the 3SD1 and 3PF2 pairing gaps indicate distinct tensor components in these interactions.

J. Yu. Panteleeva, E. Epelbaum, J. Gegelia, U. -G. Meissner

Summary: This paper proposes and computes a new definition of electromagnetic spatial densities for a spin-1/2 system. The results obtained are compared with the traditional definition based on the three-dimensional Fourier transforms of the electromagnetic form factors in the Breit frame.

Gravitational form factors of the delta resonance in chiral EFT

H. Alharazin, E. Epelbaum, J. Gegelia, U-G Meissner, B-D Sun

Summary: The leading one-loop corrections to the gravitational form factors of the delta resonance are calculated using chiral effective field theory. The contributions to the energy-momentum tensor and renormalization of low-energy constants are determined. Static quantities are obtained through small scale expansion, and the real and imaginary parts of the gravitational form factors are numerically calculated.

Pion photoproduction in chiral perturbation theory with explicit treatment of the ?(1232) resonance

N. Rijneveen, A. M. Gasparyan, H. Krebs, E. Epelbaum

Summary: In this article, we study the reaction of pion photoproduction on the nucleon using chiral perturbation theory. We present results using both the covariant approach and the heavy-baryon scheme, and compare them to experimental data using Bayesian methods to estimate theoretical truncation errors. We find that the explicit treatment of the delta(1232) resonance significantly improves the description of the reaction.

Nucleon-nucleon interaction in chiral effective field theory with a finite cutoff: Explicit perturbative renormalization at next-to-leading order

A. M. Gasparyan, E. Epelbaum

Summary: In this study, we investigate two-nucleon scattering using chiral effective field theory with a finite cutoff to next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion. We propose a scheme where the contributions of the lowest-order interaction to the scattering amplitude are summed up to an arbitrary order, while the corrections beyond leading order are iterated only once. We consider a general form of the regulator for the leading-order potential, including local and non-local structures. The main objective is to address the formal aspects of renormalizability within this scheme, and we provide a rigorous proof that power-counting breaking terms can be absorbed into the renormalization of low energy constants. We also demonstrate that the cutoff dependence of the scattering amplitude can be reduced by perturbatively subtracting the regulator artifacts at next-to-leading order. The numerical results confirm the applicability of our scheme for nucleon-nucleon scattering.

Is Z(cs)(3982) a molecular partner of Z(c)(3900) and Z(c)(4020) states?

V Baru, E. Epelbaum, A. A. Filin, C. Hanhart, A. Nefediev

Summary: An effective field theory-based coupled-channel analysis of e(+)e(-) annihilation data at BES III was performed, extracting poles responsible for the Z(cs)(3982) formation. Two scenarios were identified, providing similar mass distribution descriptions but differing predictions for the spin partners of Z(cs)(3982).
