Bridging Ab Initio Symmetries and Global Nuclear Masses with Interpretable Neural Networks

Phong Dang, Evander Espinoza, Xiaoliang Wan +6

Ab initio theory establishes Wigner's SU(4) and Elliott's SU(3) as dominant symmetries of the nuclear force in light and intermediate-mass nuclei. Previous work shows the relevance…

Proton and Neutron Elastic Scattering on He Targets from SA-NCSM Optical Potentials

Darin C. Mumma, Matthew B. Burrows, Kristina D. Launey +2

We construct and discuss nucleon-nucleus optical potentials at low energies for He targets. In this work, we use the SA-NCSM/GF…

Unmasking Hidden Wigner's Symmetry from First Principles

Phong Dang, Daniel Langr, Tomas Dytrych +2

We present quantitative evidence that high-quality internucleon forces derived from EFT exhibit a striking dominance of Wigner's supermultiplet symmetry, without invoking the la…

Symplectic no-core configuration interaction framework for nuclear structure

Anna E. McCoy, Mark A. Caprio, Patrick J. Fasano +1

We present the symplectic no-core configuration interaction (SpNCCI) framework, in which the nuclear many-body problem is solved a symmetry-adapted basis that explicitly encodes ap…

Unexpected Rise in Nuclear Collectivity from Short-Range Physics

Kevin S. Becker, Kristina D. Launey, Andreas Ekström +4

We discover a surprising relation between the collective motion of nucleons within atomic nuclei, traditionally understood to be driven by long-range correlations, and short-range…

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

M. Burrows, R. B. Baker, S. Bacca +3

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…

Efficacy of the symmetry-adapted basis for ab initio nucleon-nucleus interactions for light- and intermediate-mass nuclei

Alexis Mercenne, Kristina D. Launey, Tomas Dytrych +4

We study the efficacy of a new ab initio framework that combines the symmetry-adapted (SA) no-core shell-model approach with the resonating group method (RGM) for unified descripti…
