Modern Chiral Forces Applied to the Neutron-Deuteron Breakup Reaction

Abstract

AbstractWe report on applications of the recent chiral potentials from the Bochum-Bonn group to the description of the neutron induced deuteron breakup observables. Specifically, we discuss the convergence of predictions with respect to the chiral order and the dependence of our results on the value of the regularization parameter. To that end we use the chiral forces with semi-local coordinate or momentum space regularization up to the N$$^4$$ 4 LO$$^+$$ + order of chiral expansion. We find a satisfactory picture revealing high quality of the chiral forces used.
