A Guided Tour of ab initio Nuclear Many-Body Theory [PDF]
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Over the last decade, new developments in Similarity Renormalization Group techniques and nuclear many-body methods have dramatically increased the capabilities of ab initio nuclear structure and reaction theory.

Chiral Effective Field Theory and the High-Density Nuclear Equation of State [PDF]
Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, 2021 Recent advances in neutron star observations have the potential to constrain the properties of strongly interacting matter at extreme densities and temperatures that are otherwise difficult to access through direct experimental investigation. At the same

Chiral effective field theory and nuclear forces [PDF]
Physics Reports, 2011 We review how nuclear forces emerge from low-energy QCD via chiral effective field theory. The presentation is accessible to the non-specialist. At the same time, we also provide considerable detailed information (mostly in appendices) for the benefit of

What is ab initio in nuclear theory? [PDF]
Frontiers of Physics, 2022 Ab initio has been used as a label in nuclear theory for over two decades. Its meaning has evolved and broadened over the years. We present our interpretation, briefly review its historical use, and discuss its present-day relation to theoretical ...

Bayesian probability updates using sampling/importance resampling: Applications in nuclear theory [PDF]
Frontiers of Physics, 2022 We review an established Bayesian sampling method called sampling/importance resampling and highlight situations in nuclear theory when it can be particularly useful.

Mass measurements of 99–101In challenge ab initio nuclear theory of the nuclide 100Sn [PDF]
Nature Physics, 2021 The tin isotope 100Sn is of singular interest for nuclear structure due to its closed-shell proton and neutron configurations. It is also the heaviest nucleus comprising protons and neutrons in equal numbers—a feature that enhances the contribution of ...

Charge radii of exotic potassium isotopes challenge nuclear theory and the magic character of N = 32 [PDF]
Nature Physics, 2020 Nuclear charge radii are sensitive probes of different aspects of the nucleon–nucleon interaction and the bulk properties of nuclear matter, providing a stringent test and challenge for nuclear theory.

Stringent constraints on neutron-star radii from multimessenger observations and nuclear theory [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2019 The properties of neutron stars are determined by the nature of the matter that they contain. These properties can be constrained by measurements of the star’s size.

Neutron Star Tidal Deformabilities Constrained by Nuclear Theory and Experiment. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 We confront observational data from gravitational wave event GW170817 with microscopic modeling of the cold neutron star equation of state. We develop and employ a Bayesian statistical framework that enables us to implement constraints on the equation of
