Effective field theory of nucleon-nucleon scattering on large discrete lattices

Abstract

Nuclear effective field theory is applied to the effective-range expansion of S-wave nucleon-nucleon scattering on a discrete lattice. Lattice regularization is demonstrated to yield the effective-range expansion in the same way as in the usual continuous open space. The relation between the effective-range parameters and the potential parameters is presented in the limit of a large lattice.
