Investigation into the properties and structure of unstable nuclei far from stability is a key
avenue of research in modern nuclear physics. These efforts are motivated by the continual …

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

Heavy atomic nuclei have an excess of neutrons over protons, which leads to the formation
of a neutron skin whose thickness is sensitive to details of the nuclear force. This links …

Subjecting a physical system to extreme conditions is one of the means often used to obtain
a better understanding and deeper insight into its organization and structure. In the case of …

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 …

Molecules containing short-lived, radioactive nuclei are uniquely positioned to enable a
wide range of scientific discoveries in the areas of fundamental symmetries, astrophysics …

We propose a novel storage scheme for three-nucleon (3N) interaction matrix elements
relevant for the normal-ordered two-body approximation used extensively in ab initio …

Nuclei around N≈ Z≈ 40 are strongly deformed and exhibit coexistence of shapes. These
phenomena have challenged nuclear models. Here, we perform ab initio coupled-cluster …

The observation of neutrinoless double-beta (0 ν β β) decay would offer proof of lepton
number violation, demonstrating that neutrinos are Majorana particles, while also hel** us …
