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 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 …

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 …

We link the structure of nuclei around Sn 100, the heaviest doubly magic nucleus with equal
neutron and proton numbers (N= Z= 50), to nucleon-nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (NNN) …

The observation of neutrinoless double beta decay (DBD) will have important
consequences. First it will signal that lepton number is not conserved and the neutrinos are …

Collinear laser spectroscopy is performed on the nickel isotopes Ni 58-68, 70, using a time-
resolved photon counting system. From the measured isotope shifts, nuclear charge radii R …

We calculate basis-space converged neutrinoless β β-decay nuclear matrix elements for the
lightest candidates: Ca 48, Ge 76, and Se 82. Starting from initial two-and three-nucleon …

Recent advances in nuclear structure theory have significantly enlarged the accessible part
of the nuclear landscape via ab initio many-body calculations. These developments open …
