Microscopic clustering in light nuclei

M Freer, H Horiuchi, Y Kanada-En'yo, D Lee… - Reviews of Modern …, 2018‏ - APS
This review examines the tendency of light nuclei to exhibit clustering, where correlations
between nucleons result in the formation of precipitates, typically α particles. The …

Ab initio no core shell model

BR Barrett, P Navrátil, JP Vary - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2013‏ - Elsevier
Motivated by limitations of the Bloch–Horowitz–Brandow perturbative approach to nuclear
structure we have developed the non-perturbative ab initio no core shell model (NCSM) …

Unified ab initio approaches to nuclear structure and reactions

P Navrátil, S Quaglioni, G Hupin… - Physica …, 2016‏ - iopscience.iop.org
The description of nuclei starting from the constituent nucleons and the realistic interactions

The Lagrange-mesh method

D Baye - Physics reports, 2015‏ - Elsevier
The Lagrange-mesh method is an approximate variational method taking the form of
equations on a grid thanks to the use of a Gauss-quadrature approximation. The variational …

Ab initio alpha–alpha scattering

S Elhatisari, D Lee, G Rupak, E Epelbaum, H Krebs… - Nature, 2015‏ - nature.com
Processes such as the scattering of alpha particles (4He), the triple-alpha reaction, and
alpha capture play a major role in stellar nucleosynthesis. In particular, alpha capture on …

Physics of exotic nuclei

Unified ab initio approach to bound and unbound states: No-core shell model with continuum and its application to He

S Baroni, P Navrátil, S Quaglioni - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2013‏ - APS
We introduce a unified approach to nuclear bound and continuum states based on the
coupling of the no-core shell model (NCSM), a bound-state technique, with the no-core shell …

Symmetry-guided large-scale shell-model theory

KD Launey, T Dytrych, JP Draayer - Progress in Particle and Nuclear …, 2016‏ - Elsevier
In this review, we present a symmetry-guided strategy that utilizes exact as well as partial
