Unified description of electron-nucleus scattering within the spectral function formalism
Noemi Rocco, Alessandro Lovato, Omar Benhar
We developed a novel approach based on a generalization of factorization and nuclear spectral functions, allowing for a consistent treatment of the amplitudes involving one- and tw…
Transport properties of the Fermi hard-sphere system
Angela Mecca, Alessandro Lovato, Omar Benhar +1
The transport properties of neutron star matter play an important role in many astrophysical processes. We report the results of a calculation of the shear viscosity and thermal co…
Ab initio calculation of the electromagnetic and neutral-weak response functions of 4He and 12C
A. Lovato, O. Benhar, J. Carlson +4
Precise measurement of neutrino oscillations, and hence the determination of their masses demands a quantitative understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions. To this aim, two-bo…
Strangeness in nuclei and neutron stars: a challenging puzzle
Diego Lonardoni, Alessandro Lovato, Stefano Gandolfi +1
The prediction of neutron stars properties is strictly connected to the employed nuclear interactions. The appearance of hyperons in the inner core of the star is strongly dependen…
Towards a unified description of the electroweak nuclear response
Omar Benhar, Alessandro Lovato
We briefly review the growing efforts to set up a unified framework for the description of neutrino interactions with atomic nuclei and nuclear matter, applicable in the broad kine…
New insights on the hyperon puzzle from quantum Monte Carlo calculations
Francesco Pederiva, Francesco Catalano, Diego Lonardoni +2
In the last years auxiliary field diffusion Monte Carlo has been used to assess the properties of hypernuclear systems, from light- to medium-heavy hypernuclei and hyper-neutron ma…
