The in-medium similarity renormalization group: A novel ab initio method for nuclei

H Hergert, SK Bogner, TD Morris, A Schwenk… - Physics reports, 2016 - Elsevier
We present a comprehensive review of the In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group (IM-

Ab Initio Limits of Atomic Nuclei

SR Stroberg, JD Holt, A Schwenk, J Simonis - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
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 …

Neutron drip line in the Ca region from Bayesian model averaging

L Neufcourt, Y Cao, W Nazarewicz, E Olsen, F Viens - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
The region of heavy calcium isotopes forms the frontier of experimental and theoretical
nuclear structure research where the basic concepts of nuclear physics are put to stringent …

Three-nucleon forces: Implementation and applications to atomic nuclei and dense matter

K Hebeler - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
Recent advances in nuclear structure theory have significantly enlarged the accessible part

The impact of nuclear shape on the emergence of the neutron dripline

N Tsunoda, T Otsuka, K Takayanagi, N Shimizu… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Atomic nuclei are composed of a certain number of protons Z and neutrons N. A natural
question is how large Z and N can be. The study of superheavy elements explores the large …
