Tunable-fidelity wave functions for the ab initio description of scattering and reactions

K Kravvaris, S Quaglioni, P Navrátil - Physical Review C, 2024 - APS
Background: The no-core shell model (NCSM) is an ab initio method that solves the nuclear
many-body problem by expanding the many-particle wave function into a (typically) …
