Chiral Electroweak Currents in Nuclei

D.O. Riska🇫🇮 · R. Schiavilla🇺🇸

Abstract

The development of the chiral dynamics based description of nuclear electroweak currents is reviewed. Gerald E. (Gerry) Brown's role in basing theoretical nuclear physics on chiral Lagrangians is emphasized. Illustrative examples of the successful description of electroweak observables of light nuclei obtained from chiral effective field theory are presented.
