The search for a resonant four-neutron system has been revived thanks to the recent experimental hints reported in Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{116}, 052501 (2016). The existence of such a system would deeply impact our understanding of nuclear…
We formulate a momentum-shell renormalization group (RG) procedure that can be used in theories containing both bosons and fermions with a Fermi surface. We focus on boson-fermion couplings that are nearly forward-scattering, {\it i.e.}…
In this contribution, we report on recent progress in coupled-cluster simulations of open-shell atomic nuclei using interactions consistently derived from chiral effective field theory. In particular, we compare different coupled-cluster…
We use a reference state based on symmetry-restored states from deformed mean-field or generator-coordinate-method (GCM) calculations in conjunction with the in-medium similarity-renormalization group (IMSRG) to compute spectra and matrix…
We have studied neutron-rich calcium isotopes in terms of the shell model employing a realistic effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The short-range repulsion of the potential is renormalized by way of…
We utilize a nuclear shell model Hamiltonian with only two adjustable parameters to generate, for the first time, exact solutions for pairing correlations for light to medium-mass nuclei, including the challenging proton-neutron pairs,…
A shell model effective interaction for nuclei beyond the double magic nucleus 78Ni is constructed. First, the single-particle evolutions for valence neutrons above the double magic 78Ni are systematically explored in the N = 51 isotones…
We study nuclear multipole resonances in the framework of the random phase approximation using the chiral potential NNLO$_{\text{sat}}$. This potential includes two- and three-body terms that has been simultaneously optimized to low-energy…
In this work we present $ab~initio$ shell-model calculations for electric quadrupole moments and magnetic dipole moments of $sd$ shell nuclei using valence-space Hamiltonians derived with two $ab~initio$ approaches: the in-medium similarity…
Nuclear structures of the atomic nuclei can be theoretically investigated by using nuclear shell model. Generally, a doubly closed-shell nucleus has been considered as inert core and the nucleons outside the core are taken into account in…
The interplay between the Kondo screening of quantum impurities (by the electronic channels to which they couple) and the interimpurity RKKY interactions (mediated by the same channels) has been extensively studied. However, the effect of…
We consider two nonperturbative methods originally used to derive shell model effective interactions in nuclei. These methods have been applied to the two nucleon sector to obtain an energy independent effective interaction V_{low k}, which…
The fundamental description of both structural properties and reactions of light nuclei in terms of constituent protons and neutrons interacting through nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon forces is a long-sought goal of nuclear theory. I…
As ab-initio calculations of atomic nuclei enter the A=40-100 mass range, a great challenge is how to approach the vast majority of open-shell (degenerate) isotopes. We add realistic three-nucleon interactions to the state of the art…
We present a status report on the ongoing analysis of the 3D Ising model with nearest-neighbor interactions using the Monte Carlo Renormalization Group (MCRG) and finite size scaling (FSS) methods on $64^3$, $128^3$, and $256^3$ simple…
By following the conventional similarity renormalization group (SRG) expansion of the Dirac equation developed in [J.-Y. Guo, Phys. Rev. C \textbf{85}, 021302 (2012)], we work out the analytic expression of the ${1}/{M^4}$ order and verify…

We generalize the Jacobi no-core shell model (J-NCSM) to study double-strangeness hypernuclei. All particle conversions in the strangeness $S=-1,-2$ sectors are explicitly taken into account. In two-body space, such transitions may lead to…
Background: Weakly bound and unbound nuclei close to particle drip lines are laboratories of new nuclear structure physics at the extremes of neutron/proton excess. The comprehensive description of these systems requires an open quantum…
