A hyperon-nucleon potential for the strangeness $S=-1$ sector ($\Lambda N$, $\Sigma N$) up to third order in the chiral expansion is presented. SU(3) flavor symmetry is imposed for constructing the interaction, however, the explicit SU(3)…
The low-lying continuum spectrum of the $^6{\rm He}$ nucleus is investigated for the first time within an ab initio framework that encompasses the $^4{\rm He}$+$n$+$n$ three-cluster dynamics characterizing its lowest decay channel. This is…
We propose an importance truncation scheme for the no-core shell model, which enables converged calculations for nuclei well beyond the p-shell. It is based on an a priori measure for the importance of individual basis states constructed by…
Using modern nucleon-nucleon interactions in the description of the $A=3,4$ nuclear systems the $\chi^2$ per datum results to be much bigger than one. In particular it is not possible to reproduce the three- and four-nucleon binding…
We construct a relativistic chiral nucleon-nucleon interaction up to the next-to-next-to-leading order in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. We show that a good description of the $np$ phase shifts up to $T_\mathrm{lab}=200$ MeV…
We apply the similarity renormalization group (SRG) approach to evolve a nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interaction in leading-order (LO) chiral effective field theory (ChEFT), renormalized within the framework of the subtracted kernel method…
Background: Ab initio many-body methods have been developed over the past ten years to address mid-mass nuclei... As progress in the design of inter-nucleon interactions is made, further efforts must be made to tailor many-body methods.…
Generalized seniority provides a truncation scheme for the nuclear shell model, based on pairing correlations, which offers the possibility of dramatically reducing the dimensionality of the nuclear shell-model problem. Systematic…
We propose an importance-truncation scheme for the large-scale nuclear shell model that extends its range of applicability to larger valence spaces and mid-shell nuclei. It is based on a perturbative measure for the importance of individual…
We present an overview of Short-Range Correlations (SRC) studies using the inclusive measurement of the electron scattering off nuclei. A brief introduction of the origin of the SRC is given, followed by the survey of the two-nucleon SRC…

We extend our previous study of elastic pion-nucleon scattering in the framework of chiral perturbation theory by performing a combined analysis of the reactions $\pi N \to \pi N$ and $\pi N \to \pi \pi N$. The calculation is carried out to…
Exact symmetry and symmetry-breaking phenomena play a key role in gaining a better understanding of the physics of many-particle systems, from quarks and atomic nuclei, through molecules and galaxies. In nuclei, exact and dominant…
A representation without explicit use of the isospin formalism is developed for the precise study of few-nucleon systems, and the advantages of the proposed approach are demonstrated. Using the example of three-nucleon systems with central…
We analyze quantitatively the interplay between explicit and implicit renormalization in Nuclear Physics. By explicit renormalization we mean to integrate out higher energy modes below a given cutoff scale using the similarity…
The empirical pairing gaps derived from four different odd-even mass staggering formulas are compared. By performing single-$j$ shell and multi-shell seniority model calculations as well as by using the standard HFB approach with Skyrme…
We consider an effective field theory of NN system in nuclear medium. The shallow bound states, which complicate the effective field theory analysis and lead to the large scattering length in the vacuum case do not exist in matter. We study…
Inclusive electron scattering at carefully chosen kinematics can isolate scattering from the high-momentum nucleons in short-range correlations (SRCs). SRCs are produced by the hard, short-distance interactions of nucleons in the nucleus,…
