We introduce an extension of the ab initio no-core shell model/resonating group method (NCSM/RGM) in order to describe three-body cluster states. We present results for the $^6$He ground state within a $^4$He+n+n cluster basis as well as…

Nuclei are prototypes of many-body open quantum systems. Complex aggregates of protons and neutrons that interact through forces arising from quantum chromo-dynamics, nuclei exhibit both bound and unbound states, which can be strongly…

Ab initio methods aim to solve the nuclear many-body problem with controlled approximations. Virtually exact numerical solutions for realistic interactions can only be obtained for certain special cases such as few-nucleon systems. Here we…
