Binding in light nuclei: Statistical NN uncertainties vs Computational accuracy

Nuclear Theory 2016-11-03 v1 Computational Physics Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability

Abstract

We analyse the impact of the statistical uncertainties of the the nucleon-nucleon interaction, based on the Granada-2013 np-pp database, on the binding energies of the triton and the alpha particle using a bootstrap method, by solving the Faddeev equations for 3^3H and the Yakubovsky equations for 4^4He respectively. We check that in practice about 30 samples prove enough for a reliable error estimate. An extrapolation of the well fulfilled Tjon-line correlation predicts the experimental binding of the alpha particle within uncertainties.
