Response functions and giant monopole resonances for light to medium-mass nuclei from the \textit{ab initio} symmetry-adapted no-core shell model

Abstract

Using the \textit{ab initio} symmetry-adapted no-core shell model, we compute sum rules and response functions for light to medium-mass nuclei, starting from interactions that are derived in the chiral effective field theory. We investigate electromagnetic transitions of monopole, dipole and quadrupole nature for symmetric nuclei such as ${}^4$He, ${}^{16}$O, ${}^{20}$Ne and ${}^{40}$Ca. Furthermore, we study giant monopole resonance, which can provide information on the incompressibility of symmetric nuclear matter.
