Nuclear physics without high-momentum potentials: Constructing the nuclear effective interaction directly from scattering observables

The traditional approach to nuclear physics encodes phase shift information in a nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential, producing a nucleon-level interaction that captures the sub-GeV consequences of QCD. A further reduction to the nuclear scale is needed to produce an effective interaction for soft Hilber...
