Effective Field Theory Of Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering On Large Discrete Lattices

Nuclear effective field theory is applied to the effective-range expansion of S-wave nucleon-nucleon scattering on a discrete lattice. Lattice regularization is demonstrated to yield the effective-range expansion in the same way as in the usual continuous open space. The relation between the effective-range parameters and the potential parameters is presented in the limit of a large lattice.
