Electroweak Currents from Chiral Effective Field Theory

Understand

Since the pioneering work of Weinberg, Chiral Effective Field Theory ($\chi$EFT) has been widely and successfully utilized in nuclear physics to study many-nucleon interactions and associated electroweak currents.

• Nuclear $\chi$EFT has now developed into an intense field of research and is applied to study light to medium mass nuclei.
• In this contribution, we focus on the development of electroweak currents from $\chi$EFT and present applications to selected nuclear electroweak observables.
