Renormalization group invariance in pionless effective field theory for the NN system

Abstract: We consider the NN interaction in pionless effective field theory (EFT) up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and use a recursive subtractive renormalization scheme to describe NN scattering in the 1S0 channel. We fix the strengths of the contact interactions at a reference scale, chosen to be the one that provides the best fit for the phase-shifts, and then slide the renormalization scale by evolving the driving terms of the subtracted Lippmann-Schwinger equation through a non-relativistic Callan-Symanzik equation. The results show that such a systematic renormalization scheme with multiple subtractions is fully renormalization group invariant.
