Ab Initio No Core Shell Model — Recent Results and Further Prospects
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 accurately describe the experimental two-nucleon and three-nucleon interaction data; (2) advances in algorithms to simulate the quantum manybody problem with strong interactions; and (3) continued rapid development of high-performance computers now capable of performing 20×10 floating point operations per second. We also comment on prospects for further developments.

متن کاملRecent developments in no-core shell-model calculations
We present an overview of recent results and developments of the no-core shell model (NCSM), an ab initio approach to the nuclear many-body problem for light nuclei. In this approach, we start from realistic two-nucleon or twoplus threenucleon interactions. Many-body calculations are performed using a finite harmonicoscillator (HO) basis. To facilitate convergence for realistic inter-nucleon in...

متن کاملLight nuclei from chiral EFT interactions
Recent developments in nuclear theory allow us to make a connection between quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and low-energy nuclear physics. First, chiral effective field theory (χEFT) provides a natural hierarchy to define two-nucleon (NN), three-nucleon (NNN), and even four-nucleon interactions. Second, ab initio methods have been developed capable to test these interactions for light nuclei. In ...
متن کاملFrom non-Hermitian effective operators to large-scale no-core shell model calculations for light nuclei
No-core shell model (NCSM) calculations using ab initio effective interactions are very successful in reproducing experimental nuclear spectra. The main theoretical approach is the use of effective operators, which include correlations left out by the truncation of the model space to a numerically tractable size. We review recent applications of the effective operator approach, within a NCSM fr...
