An effective two-body interaction is constructed from a new Reid-like $NN$ potential for a large no-core space consisting of six major shells and is used to generate the shell-model properties for light nuclei from $A$=2 to 6. (For…
We demonstrate the existence of multiple converging sequences in the ab initio no-core shell model. By examining the underlying theory of effective operators, we expose the physical foundations for the alternative pathways to convergence.…
We introduce the extension of the ab initio no-core shell model with continuum to describe three-body cluster systems. We present results for the ground state of 6He and show improvements with respect to the description obtained within the…
The aim of this work is to present an overview of the derivation of the effective shell-model Hamiltonian and decay operators within many-body perturbation theory, and to show the results of selected shell-model studies based on their…
We present an approach to derive effective shell-model interactions from microscopic nuclear forces. The similarity-transformed coupled-cluster Hamiltonian decouples the single-reference state of a closed-shell nucleus and provides us with…
We present a new approach to the construction of effective interactions suitable for many-body calculations by means of the no-core shell model (NCSM). We consider an effective field theory (EFT) with only nucleon fields directly in the…
The state-of-the-art ab initio nuclear many-body approaches with modern nuclear forces are challenged by the recent experimental measurement of the monopole form factor of the $0^+_1\rightarrow 0^+_2$ transition in the $\alpha$ particle…
We apply an {\it ab-initio} approach to the nuclear structure of odd-mass nuclei straddling $^{48}Ca$. Starting with the NN interaction, that fits two-body scattering and bound state data we evaluate the nuclear properties of $A = 47$ and…
We report on the computational characteristics of ab initio nuclear structure calculations in a symmetry-adapted no-core shell model (SA-NCSM) framework. We examine the computational complexity of the current implementation of the SA-NCSM…

We present the first ab initio calculations for p-shell single-Lambda hypernuclei. For the solution of the many-baryon problem, we develop two variants of the no-core shell model with explicit $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma^+$, $\Sigma^0$,…
Calculations in ab initio no-core configuration interaction (NCCI) approaches, such as the no-core shell model or no-core full configuration methods, have conventionally been carried out using the harmonic-oscillator many-body basis.…
The description of nuclei starting from the constituent nucleons and the realistic interactions among them has been a long-standing goal in nuclear physics. In addition to the complex nature of the nuclear forces, with two-, three- and…
Nuclear structure and reaction theory are undergoing a major renaissance with advances in many-body methods, realistic interactions with greatly improved links to Quantum Chromodynamics, the advent of high performance computing, and…
A symplectic no-core shell model (Sp-NCSM) is constructed with the goal of extending the {\it ab-initio} NCSM to include strongly deformed higher-oscillator-shell configurations and to reach heavier nuclei that cannot be studied currently…
This paper discusses the derivation of an effective shell-model hamiltonian starting from a realistic nucleon-nucleon potential by way of perturbation theory. More precisely, we present the state of the art of this approach when the…

The computational cost of ab initio nuclear structure calculations is rendered particularly acute by the presence of (at least) three-nucleon interactions. This feature becomes especially critical now that many-body methods aim at extending…
