Knowing What You Don't Know: Nuclear Physics, Effective Field Theory and Uncertainty Quantification
Daniel Phillips (Ohio)
Abstract: For almost a century physicists have devoted intense attention
to teasing out the nature of the nuclear force. But there remains much
that we do not know about the way neutrons and protons interact, and the
way that they come together to form nuclei. In this talk I will show how
two tools–effective field theory and Bayesian probability theory—can
provide quantitative assessments of the impact of the things that we
don’t know about nuclear physics on the observables that are measured in
experiments.
