Towards high-precision nuclear forces from chiral effective field theory

Abstract

Chiral effective field theory is being developed into a precision tool for low-energy nuclear physics. I review the state of the art in the two-nucleon sector, discuss applications to few-nucleon systems and address challenges that will have to be faced over the coming years.
