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…
This work presents the first continuum shell-model study of weakly bound neutron-rich nuclei involving multiconfiguration mixing. For the single-particle basis, the complex-energy Berggren ensemble representing the bound single-particle…
We extend the recently proposed ab initio no-core shell model with continuum to include three-nucleon (3N) interactions beyond the few-body domain. The extended approach allows for the assessment of effects of continuum degrees of freedom…
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 are witnessing an era of intense experimental efforts that will provide information about the properties of nuclei far from the line of stability, regarding resonant and scattering states as well as (weakly) bound states. This talk…
Although they are part of the lightest nuclei, the hydrogen isotopes are not well understood both experimentally and theoretically. Indeed, besides deuteron and triton, all known hydrogen isotopes are resonances of complex structure. Even…
We demonstrate the existence of multiple converging sequences in the ab initio no-core shell model. By examining the underlying theory of effective operators, we expose the physical foundations for the alternative pathways to convergence.…
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,…
The four-neutron system is studied using exact continuum equations for transition operators and solving them in the momentum-space framework. A resonant behavior is found for strongly enhanced interaction but not a the physical strength,…
We present quantum Monte Carlo calculations of few-neutron systems confined in external potentials based on local chiral interactions at next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory. The energy and radial densities for…
In the present work, we have done a comprehensive study of low-lying energy spectrum for oxygen and fluorine chains using $ab~initio$ no core shell model. We have used inside nonlocal outside Yukawa (INOY) potential, which is a two body…
Searches of neutrinoless double-beta decay require information on the value of the nuclear matrix elements that rule the process to plan and interpret experiments. At present, however, even the matrix elements obtained with the most…

Resonance is a general phenomenon which can happen in classic or quantum systems. An unbound many-body quantum system can undergo a self-resonant process. It has long been a challenge how to describe unbound many-body quantum systems in…
We perform the ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) calculation to investigate the bound state problem of the three-body $\Lambda nn$ system in chiral next-to-next-to-leading-order NN and chiral leading-order YN interactions. The…
Gamow shell model (GSM) is usually performed within the Woods-Saxon (WS) basis in which the WS parameters need to be determined by fitting experimental single-particle energies including their resonance widths. In the multi-shell case, such…
We have used an {\it ab initio} Gamow shell model to study the isospin symmetry breaking in the $A=16$ mirror nuclei of $^{16}$F, $^{16}$N, $^{16}$Ne and $^{16}$C. Starting from a chiral interaction with two-nucleon force (2NF) at N$^3$LO…
The $A=4$ nuclei, i.e., $^4$H, $^4$He and $^4$Li, establish an interesting isospin $T=1$ isobaric system. $^4$H and $^4$Li are unbound broad resonances, whereas $^4$He is deeply bound in its ground state but unbound in all its excited…
Drip-line nuclei have very different properties from those of the valley of stability, as they are weakly bound and resonant. Therefore, the models devised for stable nuclei can no longer be applied therein. Hence, a new theoretical tool,…
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…
