Spectra and binding energy predictions of chiral interactions for 7Li
Using the no-core shell model approach, we report on the first results for
7Li based on the next-to-next-to-leading order chiral nuclear interaction.
Both, two-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions are taken into account. We
show that the p-shell nuclei are sensitive to the subleading parts of the
chiral interactions including three-nucleon forces. Though chiral interactions
are soft, we do not observe overbinding for this p-shell nucleus and find a
realistic description for the binding energy, excitation spectrum and radius.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figure
Long- and short-range correlations in the ab-initio no-core shell model
In the framework of the ab-initio no-core shell model (NCSM), we describe the
longitudinal-longitudinal distribution function, part of the inclusive (e,e')
longitudinal response. In the two-body cluster approximation, we compute the
effective operators consistent with the unitary transformation used to obtain
the effective Hamiltonian. When short-range correlations are probed, the
results display independence from the model space size and length scale.
Long-range correlations are more difficult to model in the NCSM and they can be
described only by increasing the model space or increasing the cluster size. In
order to illustrate the model space independence for short-range observables,
we present results for a large set of model spaces for 4He, and in 0-4hw model
spaces for 12C.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Ab initio calculations of reactions with light nuclei
An {\em ab initio} (i.e., from first principles) theoretical framework
capable of providing a unified description of the structure and low-energy
reaction properties of light nuclei is desirable to further our understanding
of the fundamental interactions among nucleons, and provide accurate
predictions of crucial reaction rates for nuclear astrophysics, fusion-energy
research, and other applications. In this contribution we review {\em ab
initio} calculations for nucleon and deuterium scattering on light nuclei
starting from chiral two- and three-body Hamiltonians, obtained within the
framework of the {\em ab initio} no-core shell model with continuum. This is a
unified approach to nuclear bound and scattering states, in which
square-integrable energy eigenstates of the -nucleon system are coupled to
target-plus-projectile wave functions in the spirit of the resonating
group method to obtain an efficient description of the many-body nuclear
dynamics both at short and medium distances and at long ranges.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, proceedings of the 21st International Conference

Ab-initio coupled-cluster effective interactions for the shell model: Application to neutron-rich oxygen and carbon isotopes
We derive and compute effective valence-space shell-model interactions from
ab-initio coupled-cluster theory and apply them to open-shell and neutron-rich
oxygen and carbon isotopes. Our shell-model interactions are based on
nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon forces from chiral effective-field theory. We
compute the energies of ground and low-lying states, and find good agreement
with experiment. In particular our calculations are consistent with the N=14,
16 shell closures in oxygen-22 and oxygen-24, while for carbon-20 the
corresponding N=14 closure is weaker. We find good agreement between our
coupled-cluster effective-interaction results with those obtained from standard
single-reference coupled-cluster calculations for up to eight valence neutrons
Ab-initio calculation of the binding energy with the Hybrid Multideterminant scheme
We perform an ab-initio calculation for the binding energy of using
the CD-Bonn 2000 NN potential renormalized with the Lee-Suzuki method. The
many-body approach to the problem is the Hybrid Multideterminant method. The
results indicate a binding energy of about , within a few hundreds KeV
uncertainty. The center of mass diagnostics are also discussed.Comment: 18 pages with 3 figures. More calculations added, to be published in
