R. Machleidt17 Why do we need 3NFs beyond NNLO? The 2NF is N3LO; The 2NF is N3LO; consistency requires that all contributions are at the same order. consistency requires that all contributions are at the same order. There are unresolved problems in 3N, 4N scattering and nuclear structure. There are unresolved problems in 3N, 4N scattering and nuclear structure. Sub-Leading 3NFs ECT* Trento 07/11/2011

So, with Δ’s you have to go “only” to N3LO (to catch the large 3NFs), But notice that there are many more diagrams At N3LO with Δ’s as compared to Δ-less. So, it’s not necessarily simpler. Notice further that in the Δ-full theory the 2NF Gets also more complicated. R. Machleidt38 Sub-Leading 3NFs ECT* Trento 07/11/2011
