Abstract
An effective field theory is used to describe light nuclei, calculated from quantum chromodynamics on a lattice at unphysically large pion masses. The theory is calibrated at leading order to two available data sets on two- and three-body nuclei for two pion masses. At those pion masses we predict the quartet and doublet neutron-deuteron scattering lengths, and the alpha-particle binding energy. For mπ=510 MeV we obtain, respectively, 4 anD = 2.3 ± 1.3 fm, 2 anD = 2.2 ± 2.1 fm, and Bα = 35 ± 22 MeV, while for mπ=805 MeV 4 anD = 1.6 ± 1.3 fm, 2 anD = 0.62 ± 1.0 fm, and Bα = 94 ± 45 MeV are found. Phillips- and Tjon-like correlations to the triton binding energy are established. Higher-order effects on the respective correlation bands are found insensitive to the pion mass. As a benchmark, we present results for the physical pion mass, using experimental two-body scattering lengths and the triton binding energy as input. Hints of subtle changes in the structure of the triton and alpha particle are discussed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
