We present a comprehensive review of the In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group (IM-SRG), a novel ab inito method for nuclei. The IM-SRG employs a continuous unitary transformation of the many-body Hamiltonian to decouple the ground…
Nucleon momentum distributions calculated with a common one-body operator vary with the resolution scale (and scheme) of the Hamiltonian used. For high-resolution potentials such as Argonne $v_{18}$ (AV18) there is a high-momentum tail,…
