Tomography of Atomic Nuclei
Noemi Rocco, Carlo Graziani, Alessandro Lovato +2
We carry out continuum quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the quantum-mechanical Wigner distribution functions of selected nuclei, up to O. These distributions provide a fo…
Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of Zemach moments in nuclei
Garrett B. King, Sonia Bacca, Graham Chambers-Wall +4
Modern atomic spectroscopy has reached a level of precision at which nuclear-structure effects can no longer be neglected and must be quantified reliably. In particular, hyperfine…
Quantum Monte Carlo calculation of in the superallowed beta decay of C
Maria Piarulli, R. B. Wiringa, Alessandro Lovato +2
We perform an ab initio quantum Monte Carlo calculation of the isospin-symmetry-breaking correction to the superallowed decay of . Using both phenomenolog…
Glauber-theory calculations of high-energy nuclear scattering observables using variational Monte Carlo wave functions
W. Horiuchi, Y. Suzuki, R. B. Wiringa
Experiments using intermediate- to high-energy radioactive nuclear beams present numerous findings. Extracting important properties of physical observables relies on a firm theoret…
Glauber-theory analysis of nuclear reactions on 12C target with variational Monte Carlo wave functions
W. Horiuchi, Y. Suzuki, R. B. Wiringa
The application of Glauber theory has been playing an increasingly important role with the study of unstable or exotic nuclei. Its adaptation to medium and high-energy nucleus-nucl…
Three-nucleon lepton-number-violating potentials in chiral EFT and their matrix elements in light nuclei
Graham Chambers-Wall, Justin Lieffers, Garrett B. King +4
We derive the three-nucleon neutrinoless double beta decay potential in -full chiral effective field theory through next-to-next-to-next-to leading order in Weinberg's power co…
