Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

Advances in machine learning methods provide tools that have broad applicability in
scientific research. These techniques are being applied across the diversity of nuclear …

Heavy atomic nuclei have an excess of neutrons over protons, which leads to the formation
of a neutron skin whose thickness is sensitive to details of the nuclear force. This links …

Over the last decade, new developments in Similarity Renormalization Group techniques
and nuclear many-body methods have dramatically increased the capabilities of ab initio …

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 …

Eigenvector continuation is a computational method for parametric eigenvalue problems that
uses subspace projection with a basis derived from eigenvector snapshots from different …

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 …

We explore the constraints on the three-nucleon force (3NF) of chiral effective field theory (χ
EFT) that are provided by bound-state observables in the A= 3 and A= 4 sectors. Our …

We perform a global sensitivity analysis of the binding energy and the charge radius of the
nucleus O 16 to identify the most influential low-energy constants in the next-to-next-to …

First principles calculations of atomic nuclei based on microscopic nuclear forces derived
from chiral effective field theory (EFT) have blossomed in the past years. A key element of …
