We review a new generation of nuclear forces derived in chiral effective field theory using the recently proposed semilocal regularization method. We outline the conceptual foundations of nuclear chiral effective field theory, discuss all steps needed to compute nuclear observables starting from the effective chiral Lagrangian and consider selected applications in the two- and few-nucleon sectors. We highlight key challenges in developing high-precision three-body forces, such as the need to maintain consistency between two- and many-body interactions and constraints placed by the chiral and gauge symmetries after regularization.

- A Guided Tour of ab initio Nuclear Many-Body Theory (2020, background): “Meanwhile, Epelbaum and co-workers have proposed the use of a more nuanced semilocal regularization scheme that applies local regulators to the long-range pion exchange and nonlocal regulators to the short-range contact terms [46, 3].”
