Infrared regularization in relativistic chiral perturbation theory

Chiral perturbation theory is a useful tool in the study of low energy reactions involving light particles. However the inclusion of heavy particles in chiral perturbation theory results in large contributions from loop diagrams which violate the standard power counting scheme. We review two metho...
