Improved nuclear matter calculations from chiral low-momentum interactions
K. Hebeler, S. K. Bogner, R. J. Furnstahl +2
We present new nuclear matter calculations based on low-momentum interactions derived from chiral effective field theory potentials. The current calculations use an improved treatm…
Three-body forces and shell structure in calcium isotopes
Jason D. Holt, Takaharu Otsuka, Achim Schwenk +1
Understanding and predicting the formation of shell structure from nuclear forces is a central challenge for nuclear physics. While the magic numbers N=2,8,20 are generally well un…
Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering in a Harmonic Potential
Thomas Luu, Martin Savage, Achim Schwenk +1
The discrete energy-eigenvalues of two nucleons interacting with a finite-range nuclear force and confined to a harmonic potential are used to numerically reconstruct the free-spac…
Lowest-order contributions of chiral three-nucleon interactions to pairing properties of nuclear ground states
T. Duguet, T. Lesinski, K. Hebeler +1
We perform a systematic study of the odd-even mass staggering generated using a pairing interaction computed at first order in low-momentum interactions. Building on previous work…
How should one formulate, extract, and interpret `non-observables' for nuclei?
R. J. Furnstahl, A. Schwenk
Nuclear observables such as binding energies and cross sections can be directly measured. Other physically useful quantities, such as spectroscopic factors, are related to measured…
Is chiral symmetry manifested in nuclear structure?
R. J. Furnstahl, A. Schwenk
Spontaneously broken chiral symmetry is an established property of low-energy quantum chromodynamics, but finding direct evidence for it from nuclear structure data is a difficult…
