Abstract

We use an S-wave toy model for the two-nucleon system to show that the implicit renormalization of a contact theory matches the explicit renormalization through a flow equation which integrates out the high momentum components. By fitting the low-momentum interaction with a new contact theory, we show that the running of the contact strengths in both original and fitted contact theories match over a wide cutoff range.
