Abstract:

We present local, position-space chiral NN potentials through four orders of chiral EFTranging from leading order (LO) to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO, fourth order) of the ∆-less version of the theory. The long-range parts of these potentials are fixed by the very accurate πN LECs as determined in the Roy-Steiner equations analysis. At the highest order (N3LO), the NN data below 190 MeV laboratory energy are reproduced with the acceptable χ 2/datum of 1.45. These NN potentials may serve as a solid basis for systematic ab initio calculations of nuclear structure and reactions that allow for a comprehensive error analysis. In particular, the order by order development of the potentials will make possible a reliable determination of the truncation error at each order. Our new family of local position-space potentials differs from existing potentials of this kind by a weaker tensor force as reflected in relatively low D-state probabilities of the deuteron (PD <∼ 4.0 % for our N3LO potentials) and predictions for the triton binding energy above 8.00 MeV (from two-body forces alone). As a consequence, our potentials may lead to different predictions when applied to light and intermediate-mass nuclei in ab initio calculations and, potentially, help solving some of the outstanding problems in microscopic nuclear structure.
