We merge two successful ab initio nuclear-structure methods, the no-core shell model (NCSM) and the multi-reference in-medium similarity renormalization group (IM-SRG) to define a new many-body approach for the comprehensive description of…
We present an overview of recent results and developments of the no-core shell model (NCSM), an ab initio approach to the nuclear many-body problem for light nuclei. In this approach, we start from realistic two-nucleon or two- plus…
We present a new approach to the construction of effective interactions suitable for many-body calculations by means of the no-core shell model (NCSM). We consider an effective field theory (EFT) with only nucleon fields directly in the…
A symplectic no-core shell model (Sp-NCSM) is constructed with the goal of extending the {\it ab-initio} NCSM to include strongly deformed higher-oscillator-shell configurations and to reach heavier nuclei that cannot be studied currently…
No-Core Gamow Shell Model (NCGSM) is applied for the first time to study selected well-bound and unbound states of helium isotopes. This model is formulated on the complex energy plane and, by using a complete Berggren ensemble, treats…
We investigate the order-by-order convergence behavior of many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) as a simple and efficient tool to approximate the ground-state energy of closed-shell nuclei. To address the convergence properties directly, we…

A microscopic description of nuclei is important to understand the nuclear shell-model from fundamental principles. This is difficult to achieve for more than the lightest nuclei without an effective approximation scheme. The purpose of…
No-core shell model (NCSM) calculations using ab initio effective interactions are very successful in reproducing experimental nuclear spectra. The main theoretical approach is the use of effective operators, which include correlations left…
The neon isotopic chain displays a rich phenomenology, ranging from clustering in the ground-state of the self-conjugate doubly open-shell stable $^{20}$Ne isotope to the physics of the island of inversion around the neutron-rich $^{30}$Ne…
Nuclear many-body calculations are computationally demanding. An estimate of their accuracy is often hampered by the limited amount of computational resources even on present-day supercomputers. We provide an extrapolation method based on…
The no-core shell model (NCSM) is an \textit{ab initio} method that solves the nuclear many-body problem by expanding the many-particle wave function into a (typically) harmonic oscillator basis and minimizing the energy to obtain the…
In spite of missing dynamical correlations, the projected generator coordinate method (PGCM) was recently shown to be a suitable method to tackle the low-lying spectroscopy of complex nuclei. Still, describing absolute binding energies and…
Perturbative and non-perturbative expansion methods already constitute a tool of choice to perform ab initio calculations over a significant part of the nuclear chart. In this context, the categories of accessible nuclei directly reflect…
