Separation energies of light $\Lambda$ hypernuclei ($A\leq 5$) and their theoretical uncertainties are investigated. Few-body calculations are performed within the Faddeev-Yakubovsky scheme and the no-core shell model. Thereby, modern and…
We report on a novel ab initio approach for nuclear few- and many-body systems with strangeness. Recently, we developed a relevant no-core shell model technique which we successfully applied in first calculations of lightest $\Lambda$…
Hypernuclei are bound states of neutrons, protons and one or two hyperons, thus extending the nuclear landscape to a third dimension. They also encode information about the baryon-baryon and three-baryon interactions. Here, we review recent…
The hypertriton bound state is relevant for inference of knowledge about the hyperon-nucleon (YN) interaction. In this work we compute the binding energy of the hypertriton using the ab initio hypernuclear no-core shell model (NCSM) with…

Binding energies of light, $A\leq 6$, $\Lambda\Lambda$ hypernuclei are calculated using the stochastic variational method in a pionless effective field theory (EFT) approach at leading order with the purpose of assessing critically the…
In any finite system, the presence of a non-zero permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) would indicate CP violation beyond the small violation predicted in the Standard Model. Here, we use the ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) framework…
The description of structural and dynamical properties of nuclei starting from the fundamental interaction between nucleons has been a long-standing goal in nuclear physics. The ab initio No-Core Shell Model combined with the…
We present an effective field theory (EFT) at leading order to describe light single-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei. Owing to the weak $\Lambda$ binding and to the $\Lambda N$ short interaction range, meson exchange forces are approximated by…
We generalize the Jacobi no-core shell model (J-NCSM) to study double-strangeness hypernuclei. All particle conversions in the strangeness $S=-1,-2$ sectors are explicitly taken into account. In two-body space, such transitions may lead to…
Recent developments in nuclear theory allow us to make a connection between quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and low-energy nuclear physics. First, chiral effective field theory (chiEFT) provides a natural hierarchy to define two-nucleon (NN),…
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…
A realistic description of halo nuclei, characterized by low-lying breakup thresholds, requires a proper treatment of continuum effects. We have developed an ab initio approach, the no-core shell model with continuum (NCSMC), capable of…
Variational Monte Carlo calculations for ${_{\Lambda}^4}H$ (ground and excited states) and ${_{\Lambda}^5}He$ are performed to decipher information on ${\Lambda}$-nuclear interactions. Appropriate operatorial nuclear and ${\Lambda}$-nuclear…
Understanding the strong interactions within baryonic systems beyond the up and down quark sector is pivotal for a comprehensive description of nuclear forces. This study explores the interactions involving hyperons, particularly the…
The convergence of no-core shell model (NCSM) calculations using renormalization group evolved low-momentum two-nucleon interactions is studied for light nuclei up to Li-7. Because no additional transformation was used in applying the NCSM…

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…
