Ab initio no-core shell model study of ${}^{18-23}{\rm{O}}$ and ${}^{18-24}{\rm{F}}$ isotopes

The Ab-Initio No-Core Shell Model and Light Nuclei

The ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) is a well-established theoretical framework aimed at an exact description of nuclear structure starting from high-precision interactions between the nucleons. In the NCSM we consider a system of A point-like, non-relativistic nucleons that interact by realistic inter-nucleon interactions. We consider two-nucleon interactions that reproduce nucleon-nucleo...

Ab initio no-core shell model calculations for light nuclei

— An overview of the ab initio no-core shell model is presented. Recent results for light nuclei obtained with the chiral two-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions are highlighted. Cross section calculations of capture reactions important for astrophysics are discussed. The extension of the ab initio no-core shell model to the description of nuclear reactions by the resonating group method tec...

Ab Initio No Core Shell Model — Recent Results and Further Prospects

There has been significant recent progress in solving the long-standing problems of how nuclear shell structure and collective motion emerge from underlying microscopic inter-nucleon interactions. We review a selection of recent significant results within the ab initio No Core Shell Model (NCSM) closely tied to three major factors enabling this progress: (1) improved nuclear interactions that a...

Hartree-Fock Approximation for the Ab Initio No-Core Shell Model

The spherical Hartree-Fock approximation is applied to the ab initio no-core shell model, with a realistic effective nucleon-nucleon interaction in order to investigate the range of its utility. Hartree-Fock results for binding energies, one-body density distributions and occupation probabilities are compared with results from exact diagonalization in similar model spaces. We show that this mea...
