The discovery of neutrinoless β β decay could soon be within reach. This hypothetical
ultrarare nuclear decay offers a privileged portal to physics beyond the standard model of …

The nuclear matrix elements that govern the rate of neutrinoless double beta decay must be
accurately calculated if experiments are to reach their full potential. Theorists have been …

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 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 …

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 …

With the goal of develo** predictive ab initio capability for light and medium-mass nuclei,
two-nucleon and three-nucleon forces from chiral effective field theory are optimized …

What is the size of the atomic nucleus? This deceivably simple question is difficult to answer.
Although the electric charge distributions in atomic nuclei were measured accurately already …

Neutrino–nuclear responses associated with astro-neutrinos, single beta decays and double
beta decays are crucial in studies of neutrino properties of interest for astro-particle physics …

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 …

The nuclear shell model has perhaps been the most important conceptual and
computational paradigm for the understanding of the structure of atomic nuclei. While the …
