This review examines the tendency of light nuclei to exhibit clustering, where correlations
between nucleons result in the formation of precipitates, typically α particles. The …

The description of nuclei starting from the constituent nucleons and the realistic interactions
among them has been a long-standing goal in nuclear physics. In addition to the complex …

Single-reference coupled-cluster theory is an accurate and affordable computational method
for the nuclear many-body problem. For open-shell nuclei, the reference state typically …

The mean-field approximation based on effective interactions or density functionals plays a
pivotal role in the description of finite quantum many-body systems that are too large to be …

The topical workshop Strong QCD from Hadron Structure Experiments took place at
Jefferson Lab from November 6–9, 2019. Impressive progress in relating hadron structure …

We review the ab initio symmetry-adapted (SA) framework for determining the structure of
stable and unstable nuclei, along with related electroweak, decay, and reaction processes …

We show through first-principles nuclear structure calculations that the special nature of the
strong nuclear force determines highly regular patterns heretofore unrecognized in nuclei …

We present ab initio predictions for ground and excited states of doubly open-shell fluorine
and neon isotopes based on chiral two-and three-nucleon interactions. We use the in …

In this review, we present a symmetry-guided strategy that utilizes exact as well as partial
symmetries for enabling a deeper understanding of and advancing ab initio studies for …
