*Atomic Nuclei at Low Resolution*

Dick Furnstahl
Ohio State University

Renormalization group methods can be used to evolve nuclear
interactions so that low-momentum and high-momentum parts are
decoupled. This leads to dramatically improved convergence in few-
and many-body systems by greatly suppressing short-range correlations.
However, many-body forces are induced as the resolution is lowered.
The Similarity Renormalization Group (SRG) provides a method to
consistently evolve many-body potentials and other operators using
flow equations. An overview of the SRG and recent results will be
presented, including a factorization property that provides an
alternative explanation of nuclear scaling.
