Knockout reactions from p-shell nuclei: tests of ab initio structure models.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Absolute cross sections have been determined following single neutron knockout reactions from 10Be and 10C at intermediate energy. Nucleon density distributions and bound-state wave function overlaps obtained from both variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and no core shell model (NCSM) ab initio calculations have been incorporated into the theoretical description of knockout reactions. Comparison to experimental cross sections demonstrates that the VMC approach, with the inclusion of 3-body forces, provides the best overall agreement while the NCSM and conventional shell-model calculations both overpredict the cross sections by 20% to 30% for 10Be and by 40% to 50% for 10C, respectively. This study gains new insight into the importance of 3-body forces and continuum effects in light nuclei and provides a sensitive technique to assess the accuracy of ab initio calculations for describing these effects.

Be(p,γ)B S-factor from ab initio wave functions
There has been a significant progress in ab initio approaches to the structure of light nuclei. Starting from realistic twoand three-nucleon interactions the ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) can predict low-lying levels in p-shell nuclei. It is a challenging task to extend ab initio methods to describe nuclear reactions. In this contribution, we present a brief overview of the the first ste...

— 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...
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 ...

We report on ab initio no-core shell model calculations in a symmetryadapted SU(3)-based coupling scheme that demonstrate that collective modes in p-shell nuclei emerge from first principles. The low-lying states of Li, He, Be, B, C, and O, are shown to exhibit orderly patterns that favor spatial configurations with strong quadrupole deformation and complementary low intrinsic spin values, a pi...
متن کاملAb Initio Nuclear Structure Theory with Chiral NN+3N Interactions
Low-energy nuclear theory has entered an era of ab initio nuclear structure and reaction calculations based on QCD. One of the most promising paths from QCD to nuclear observables employs Hamiltonians constructed within chiral effective field theory as starting point for precise ab initio studies. However, the full inclusion of chiral twoplus three-nucleon (NN+3N) interactions in exact and appr...
