Over the last decade, new developments in Similarity Renormalization Group techniques
and nuclear many-body methods have dramatically increased the capabilities of ab initio …

The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …

The dominant decay mode of atomic nuclei is beta decay (β-decay), a process that changes
a neutron into a proton (and vice versa). This decay offers a window to physics beyond the …

We optimize Δ-full nuclear interactions from chiral effective field theory. The low-energy
constants of the contact potentials are constrained by two-body scattering phase shifts, and …

During the past two decades, chiral effective field theory has evolved into a powerful tool to
derive nuclear forces from first principles. Nearly all two-nucleon interactions have been …

We present NN potentials through five orders of chiral effective field theory ranging from
leading order (LO) to next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N 4 LO). The construction …

We present an efficient Monte Carlo framework for perturbative calculations of infinite
nuclear matter based on chiral two-, three-, and four-nucleon interactions. The method …

Nuclear magic numbers correspond to fully occupied energy shells of protons or neutrons
inside atomic nuclei. Doubly magic nuclei, with magic numbers for both protons and …

We predict the limits of existence of atomic nuclei, the proton and neutron drip lines, from the
light through medium-mass regions. Starting from a chiral two-and three-nucleon interaction …

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales ranging from hundreds of MeV in binding
energies to fractions of an MeV for low-lying collective excitations. As the limits of nuclear …
