Fast & rigorous predictions for $A=6$ nuclei with Bayesian posterior sampling
Abstract
We make ab initio predictions for the A = 6 nuclear level scheme based on two- and three-nucleon interactions up to next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory (EFT). We utilize eigenvector continuation and Bayesian methods to quantify uncertainties stemming from the many-body method, the EFT truncation, and the low-energy constants of the nuclear interaction. The construction and validation of emulators is made possible via the development of JupiterNCSM -- a new M-scheme no-core shell model code that uses on-the-fly Hamiltonian matrix construction for efficient, single-node computations up to for . We find a slight underbinding of and , although consistent with experimental data given our theoretical error bars. As a result of incorporating a correlated EFT-truncation errors we find more precise predictions (smaller error bars) for separation energies: MeV, MeV, and for the beta decay Q-value: MeV. We conclude that our error bars can potentially be reduced further by extending the model space used by JupiterNCSM.
