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…

Properties of states in \textsuperscript{19}Ne important for the \textsuperscript{18}F\textsuperscript{15}O reaction rate

K. H. Pham, D. Mumma, C. M. Deibel +22

Observation of the 511-keV positron-annihilation line would be a powerful probe of classical novae, with the primary source of positrons likely from the $β^+$ decay of \textsupers…

Neutron-nucleus dynamics simulations for quantum computers

Soorya Rethinasamy, Ethan Guo, Alexander Wei +2

With a view toward addressing the explosive growth in the computational demands of nuclear structure and reactions modeling, we develop a novel quantum algorithm for neutron-nucleu…

Comparing invariant-mass spectroscopy of 8B with ab initio predictions

R. J. Charity, G. H. Sargsyan, K. D. Launey +3

Levels in 8B have been investigated experimentally using the invariant-mass technique and compared to ab initio calculations. Data sets obtained using E/A=69-MeV 9C and 13O beams o…

Triplet of kindred prompt-2p emitters in mass-8 proton-rich nuclei

R. J. Charity, G. H. Sargsyan, K. D. Launey +3

A triplet of kindred prompt-2p emitters in A=8 nuclei has been demonstrated. Two of these are the ground state of 8C and its isobaric analog state in 8B, both of which are analogs…

Ab initio symmetry-adapted approaches to nuclear reactions

Kristina D Launey, Grigor H. Sargsyan, Alexis Mercenne +2

In this review, we discuss recent applications of the ab initio symmetry-adapted no-core shell-model (SA-NCSM) theory for study and prediction of structure and reactions of stable…
