Radiative corrections for few-nucleon systems

We use a combination of effective field theory and the renormalization group to determine the impact of radiative corrections on the nucleon-nucleon potential. In order to do so, we present a modified version of pionless effective field theory inspired by earlier work in nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. The renormalization group analysis of corrections in the deuteron indicate that radiative corrections generate $1-2\%$ of the binding energy. This work serves as an important starting point for the study of radiative corrections in few-body systems relevant for precision tests of the Standard Model.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

The Positive or Negative Impact of Stress: Exploring Differences Among Sociodemographic Groups

Perceptions of stress can affect health and may explain health disparities. Therefore, the differential experience of stress across sociodemographic groups was explored. Those with less education and income had more negative stressors, college educated individuals had more positive stressors than those with a post-college degree, and whites reported more stressors than did minorities
