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 …

In recent years, the combination of precise quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods with
realistic nuclear interactions and consistent electroweak currents, in particular those …

Background: Recent advances in nuclear structure theory have led to the availability of
several complementary ab initio many-body techniques applicable to light and medium …

We present nuclear structure factors that describe the generalized spin-independent
coupling of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) to nuclei. Our results are based on …

We report quantum Monte Carlo calculations of weak transitions in A≤ 10 nuclei, based on
the Norfolk two-and three-nucleon chiral interactions, and associated one-and two-body …

The rate at which helium (He 4) and deuterium (d) fuse together to produce lithium-6 (Li 6)
and a γ ray, He 4 (d, γ) Li 6, is a critical puzzle piece in resolving the discrepancy between …

The fusion of deuterium (D) with tritium (T) is the most promising of the reactions that could
power thermonuclear reactors of the future. It may lead to even more efficient energy …

We present converged ab initio calculations of structure factors for elastic spin-dependent
WIMP scattering off all nuclei used in dark matter direct-detection searches: F 19, Na 23, Al …

We present a family of nucleon-nucleon (NN) plus three-nucleon (3N) interactions up to N 3
LO in the chiral expansion that provides an accurate ab initio description of ground-state …

A unitary transformation allows to remove redundant terms in the two-nucleon (2 N) contact
interaction at the fourth order (N3LO) in the low-energy expansion of chiral effective field …
