Neutron matter with chiral EFT interactions: Perturbative and first QMC calculations (1310.3643v1)
Published 14 Oct 2013 in nucl-th and astro-ph.SR
Abstract: Neutron matter presents a unique system in chiral effective field theory (EFT), because all many-body forces among neutrons are predicted to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO). We discuss perturbative and first Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations of neutron matter with chiral EFT interactions and their astrophysical impact for the equation of state and neutron stars.
