About three decades ago, Steven Weinberg came up with a beautiful idea of using the effective chiral Lagrangian to derive nuclear interactions, which has had a long lasting impact on nuclear physics. I will discuss achievements and challenges in advancing chiral effective field theory into a precision tool to study low-energy nuclear structure and reactions.
Understanding the nuclear properties from bare nuclear forces is one of the main topic in nuclear physics. The importance of three-nucleon forces ($3N$Fs), which appear when more than two nucleons interact, has been indicated in various nuclear phenomena, such as few-nucleon scattering, binding energies of nuclei, and equation of state of nuclear matter.
Nucleon-deuteron ($Nd$) scattering,...
