Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory

“Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory … is a great practical advantage to the reader. … Lähde and Meißner’s helpful primer has the potential to stimulate increased efforts by serving newcomers as an essential guide to the field.” (Ruprecht Machleidt, Physics Today, Vol. 72 (10), October, 2019)
