Towards Precise and Accurate Calculations of Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay: Project Scoping Workshop Report
V. Cirigliano, Z. Davoudi, J. Engel +20
We present the results of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Scoping Workshop, the purpose of which was to assess the current status of calculations for the nuclear matrix…
Quantifying uncertainties in neutron-alpha scattering with chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon forces
Konstantinos Kravvaris, Kevin R. Quinlan, Sofia Quaglioni +2
Background: Modern ab initio theory combined with high-quality nucleon-nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (3N) interactions from chiral effective field theory (EFT) can provide a predi…
Discrepancy between experimental and theoretical -decay rates resolved from first principles
P. Gysbers, G. Hagen, J. D. Holt +8
-decay, a process that changes a neutron into a proton (and vice versa), is the dominant decay mode of atomic nuclei. This decay offers a unique window to physics beyond the sta…
Recent developments in nuclear structure theory: an outlook on the muonic atom program
Oscar Javier Hernandez, Sonia Bacca, Kyle Andrew Wendt
The discovery of the proton-radius puzzle and the subsequent deuteron-radius puzzle is fueling an on-going debate on possible explanations for the difference in the observed radii…
Effective field theory in the harmonic oscillator basis
S. Binder, A. Ekström, G. Hagen +2
We develop interactions from chiral effective field theory (EFT) that are tailored to the harmonic oscillator basis. As a consequence, ultraviolet convergence with respect to the m…
Charge, neutron, and weak size of the atomic nucleus
G. Hagen, A. Ekström, C. Forssén +14
What is the size of the atomic nucleus? This deceivably simple question is difficult to answer. While the electric charge distributions in atomic nuclei were measured accurately al…
