Correlated and uncorrelated Monte Carlo neutron capture rate variations in weak -process simulations
Atul Kedia, Jeffrey M. Berryman, Jonathan Cabrera Garcia +7
Reliable predictions of weak rapid neutron capture (-process) abundances require a systematic treatment of nuclear physics uncertainties, especially neutron capture rat…
Radiative strength functions from the energy-localized Brink-Axel hypothesis
Oliver C. Gorton, Konstantinos Kravvaris, Jutta E. Escher +1
Radiative strength functions (RSFs) model the bulk electromagnetic response of highly-excited nuclei and are critical inputs for statistical reaction codes. In this paper, we prese…
Microscopic optical potentials from a Greens function approach
G. H. Sargsyan, G. Potel, K. Kravvaris +1
Optical potentials are a standard tool in the study of nuclear reactions, as they describe the interaction between a target nucleus and a projectile. The use of phenomenological op…
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…
Ab initio informed 20Ne(p, p)16O reaction elucidates the emergence of alpha clustering from chiral potentials
G. H. Sargsyan, Kazuki Yoshida, Kazuyuki Ogata +4
We report on the first \textit{ab initio} informed knock-out reaction in the intermediate-mass region, with the aim to probe the underlying chiral potential and its impact on…
