Current and planned neutrino oscillation experiments operate in the 0.1-10 GeV energy regime. At these energies, the neutrino cross section is not well understood: a variety of interaction processes are possible and nuclear effects play a…

We perform analysis of realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions, as well as of empirically-corrected interactions, fitted to reproduce in detail the spectroscopic data in p and sd shells. We focus on the multipole part of the interactions,…

Lattice QCD is making good progress toward calculating the structure and properties of light nuclei and the forces between nucleons. These calculations will ultimately refine the nuclear forces, particularly in the three- and four-nucleon…
The consistent description of the nuclear response at low and high momentum transfer requires a unified dynamical model, suitable to account for both short- and long-range correlation effects. We report the results of a study of the charged…
In the modern description of nuclear forces based on chiral effective field theory, four-nucleon operators with unknown coupling constants appear. These couplings can be fixed by a fit to the low partial waves of neutron-proton scattering.…
