The need for the three-body forces (3BF) for reproduction of physical properties of light nuclei has been evident for some time. These 3BF are doing quite well for light nuclei, but there seems to be scope for other 3BF which may arise from…
Classifying the strengthes of three-body forces 3BFs with the condition that observables must be cut-off independent, i.e. renormalised at each order, leads to surprising results with relevance for example for thermal neutron capture on the…
Recent successes in {\it ab initio} calculations of light nuclei (A=2-6) will be reviewed and correlated with the dynamical consequences of chiral symmetry. The tractability of nuclear physics evinced by these results is evidence for that…
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…
The spin-dependent nature of the nuclear tensor force is studied in details within the relativistic Hartree-Fock approach. The relativistic formalism for the tensor force is supplemented with an additional Lorentz-invariant tensor formalism…
A detailed study of the 4He longitudinal response function R_L(\omega,q) is performed at different kinematics, with particular emphasis on the role of three-nucleon forces. The effects shown are the results of an ab initio calculation where…
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…
Selected Nd breakup data over a wide energy range are compared to solutions of Faddeev equations based on modern high precision NN interactions alone and adding current three-nucleon force models. Unfortunately currently available data…
As follows from the energies of single-particle states in ^{40}Ca, ^{90}Zr and ^{208}Pb nuclei the contribution of many-particle NN forces to the nuclear single-particle potential is at least the sum of repulsive and attractive parts…
Twenty-five years ago the International Few-Body Conference was held in Quebec City. It became very clear at that meeting that the theoretical situation concerning the He3 and H3 ground states was confused. A lack of computational power…
We extend our formulation of relativistic three-nucleon Faddeev equations to include both pairwise interactions and a three-nucleon force. Exact Poincare invariance is realized by adding interactions to the mass Casimir operator (rest…
A century of coherent experimental and theoretical investigations have uncovered the laws of nature that underly nuclear physics. The standard model of strong and electroweak interactions, with its modest number of input parameters,…
This review consists of three parts: (a) what every atomic physicist needs to know about the physics of light nuclei; (b) what nuclear physicists can do for atomic physics; (c) what atomic physicists can do for nuclear physics. A brief…
Understanding and predicting the formation of shell structure from nuclear forces is a central challenge for nuclear physics. While the magic numbers N=2,8,20 are generally well understood, N=28 is the first standard magic number that is…
The nuclear shell model has been perhaps the most important conceptual and computational paradigm for the understanding of the structure of atomic nuclei. While the shell model has been predominantly used in a phenomenological context,…
We report on recent results obtained by the above collaboration on the collision processes involving three nucleons, where we pay particular attention on the dynamical role of the pion. After discussing the case at intermediate energies,…
We calculate the single-particle nucleon characteristics in symmetric nuclear matter with inclusion of the 3N interactions. The contribution of the 3N forces to the nucleon self energies are expressed in terms of the nonlocal scalar…
Self-consistent Green's function theory has recently been extended to the basic formalism needed to account for three-body interactions [A. Carbone, A. Cipollone, C. Barbieri, A. Rios, and A. Polls, (Phys. Rev. C 88, 054326 (2013))]. The…
We propose a scheme for extracting an effective three-body interaction originating from a two-nucleon interaction. This is based on the Q-box method of Kuo and collaborators, where folded diagrams are obtained by differentiating a sum of…
The three main contributions to the nuclear Hamiltonian - monopole, quadrupole and pairing - are analyzed in a shell model context. The first has to be treated phenomenologically, while the other two can be reliably extracted from the…
