Second-Order Perturbation Theory in Continuum Quantum Monte Carlo Calculations

Ryan Curry, Joel E. Lynn, Kevin E. Schmidt +1

We report on the first results for the second-order perturbation theory correction to the ground-state energy of a nuclear many-body system in a continuum quantum Monte Carlo calcu…

Path Integral Quantum Monte Carlo Calculations of Light Nuclei

Rong Chen, Kevin E. Schmidt

We describe a path-integral ground-state quantum Monte Carlo method for light nuclei in continuous space. We show how to efficiently update and sample the paths with spin-isospin d…

The S pairing gap in neutron matter

S. Gandolfi, G. Palkanoglou, J. Carlson +2

We report ab initio calculations of the S wave pairing gap in neutron matter calculated using realistic nuclear Hamiltonians that include two- and three-body interactions. We use a…

A Metropolis Monte Carlo Algorithm for Merging Single-Particle Diffraction Intensities

B. R. Mobley, K. E. Schmidt, J. P. Chen +1

Single-particle imaging with X-ray free-electron lasers depends crucially on algorithms that merge large numbers of weak diffraction patterns despite missing measurements of parame…

Vortices in low-density neutron matter and cold Fermi gases

Lucas Madeira, Stefano Gandolfi, Kevin E. Schmidt +1

Cold gas experiments can be tuned to achieve strongly-interacting regimes such as that of low-density neutron matter found in neutron-stars' crusts. We report =0 diffusion Monte…

Quantum Monte Carlo formalism for dynamical pions and nucleons

Lucas Madeira, Alessandro Lovato, Francesco Pederiva +1

In most simulations of nonrelativistic nuclear systems, the wave functions found solving the many-body Schrödinger equations describe the quantum-mechanical amplitudes of the nucle…
