Recent developments in neutron-proton scattering with Lattice Effective Field Theory

Abstract

In this contribution, we show some recent progress in the study of neutron-proton scattering with Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory (NLEFT). We present preliminary studies of both, the uncertainties in the $np$ phase shifts extracted with NLEFT, and the lattice spacing dependence in the transfer matrix formalism. Such investigations have not been performed before in the literature, and will be relevant for Monte Carlo simulations of nuclear structure with NLEFT.
