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

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 …

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 …

Nuclear charge radii globally scale with atomic mass number A as A 1∕ 3, and isotopes
with an odd number of neutrons are usually slightly smaller in size than their even-neutron …

In spite of the high-density and strongly correlated nature of the atomic nucleus,
experimental and theoretical evidence suggests that around particular 'magic'numbers of …

We review recent progress and motivate the need for further developments in nuclear optical
potentials that are widely used in the theoretical analysis of nucleon elastic scattering and …

Background: Recent developments in ab initio nuclear theory demonstrate promising results
in medium-to heavy-mass nuclei. A particular challenge for many of the many-body …

We show through first-principles nuclear structure calculations that the special nature of the
strong nuclear force determines highly regular patterns heretofore unrecognized in nuclei …

In the shell-model framework, valence-space Hamiltonians connecting multiple major-
oscillator shells are of key interest for investigating the physics of neutron-rich nuclei, which …
