What I basically do
In contrast to conventional
field theories as for example quantum electrodynamics, effective field
theories (EFT) abandon the goal of describing the world with a finite set
of renormalizable interactions. Instead, EFTs use a physical system's separation
of scales, to describe its dynamics to a given accuracy with a finite set
of renormalizable and nonrenormalizable interactions. In fact, one can consider
all "old-fashioned" field theories as a special case of effective theories
in which renormalizable interactions were so far sufficient to describe experimental
results.
I use such EFTs to compute properties of nuclear and atomic few- and many-body systems.
