This report describes the physics case, the resulting detector requirements, and the evolving
detector concepts for the experimental program at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC …

A review is given of various theoretical approaches for the equation of state (EoS) of dense
matter, relevant for the description of core-collapse supernovae, compact stars, and compact …

Heavy atomic nuclei have an excess of neutrons over protons, which leads to the formation
of a neutron skin whose thickness is sensitive to details of the nuclear force. This links …

This review presents an overview of the remarkable progress in the field of heavy-quark
exotic hadrons over the past 15 years. It seeks to be pedagogical rather than exhaustive …

In the past decade many charmonium-like states were observed experimentally. Especially
those charged charmonium-like Z c states and bottomonium-like Z b states cannot be …

We optimize Δ-full nuclear interactions from chiral effective field theory. The low-energy
constants of the contact potentials are constrained by two-body scattering phase shifts, and …

We introduce new semilocal two-nucleon potentials up to fifth order in the chiral expansion.
We employ a simple regularization approach for the pion exchange contributions which i) …

We present NN potentials through five orders of chiral effective field theory ranging from
leading order (LO) to next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N 4 LO). The construction …

A bstract We make a comparative study of the neutrinoless double beta decay constraints on
heavy sterile neutrinos versus other direct and indirect constraints from both lepton number …

With the goal of developing predictive ab initio capability for light and medium-mass nuclei,
two-nucleon and three-nucleon forces from chiral effective field theory are optimized …
