Bayesian truncation errors in chiral effective field theory: Nucleon-nucleon observables

Chiral effective field theory (EFT) predictions are necessarily truncated at some order in the EFT expansion. Bayesian analysis has been proposed as a means to quantify the theoretical uncertainties that are induced by that truncation, in order to provide a robust statistical comparison with experiment. The authors apply a Bayesian model to an extended set of observables calculated for a class of EFT interactions, and demonstrate that a subset of these potentials are consistent with their statistical model for order-by-order convergence.
