We combine the coupled-cluster method and the Lorentz integral transform for the computation of inelastic reactions into the continuum. We show that the bound-state-like equation characterizing the Lorentz integral transform method can be reformulated based on extensions of the coupled-cluster equation-of-motion method, and we discuss strategies for viable numerical solutions. Starting from a chiral nucleon-nucleon interaction at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order, we compute the giant dipole resonances of 4He, 16,22O and 40Ca, truncating the coupled-cluster equation-of-motion method at the two-particle-two-hole excitation level. Within this scheme, we find a low-lying E1 strength in the neutron-rich 22O nucleus, which compares fairly well with data from [Leistenschneider et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 5442 (2001)]. We also compute the electric dipole polariziability in 40Ca. Deficiencies of the employed Hamiltonian lead to overbinding, too small charge radii and a too small electric dipole polarizability in 40Ca.

We derive the nucleon-nucleon interaction from the Skyrme model using second order perturbation theory and the dipole approximation to skyrmion dynamics. Unlike previous derivations, our derivation accounts for the non-trivial kinetic and potential parts of the skyrmion-skyrmion interaction lagrangian and how they couple in the quantum calculation. We derive the eight low energy interaction potentials and compare them with the phenomenological Paris model, finding qualitative agreement in seven cases.
We compute the binding energies, radii, and densities for selected medium-mass nuclei within coupled-cluster theory and employ the bare chiral nucleon-nucleon interaction at order N3LO. We find rather well-converged results in model spaces consisting of 15 oscillator shells, and the doubly magic nuclei 40Ca, 48Ca, and the exotic 48Ni are underbound by about 1 MeV per nucleon within the CCSD approximation. The binding-energy difference between the mirror nuclei 48Ca and 48Ni is close to theoretical mass table evaluations. Our computation of the one-body density matrices and the corresponding natural orbitals and occupation numbers provides a first step to a microscopic foundation of the nuclear shell model.
High resolution experimental data has been obtained for the 40,42,44,48Ca(3He,t)Sc charge exchange reaction at 420 MeV beam energy, which favors the spin-isospin excitations. The measured angular distributions were analyzed for each state separately, and the relative spin dipole strength has been extracted for the first time. The low-lying spin-dipole strength distribution in 40Sc shows some interesting periodic gross feature. It resembles to a soft, dumped multi-phonon vibrational band with $hbaromega$= 1.8 MeV, which might be associated to pairing vibrations around $^{40}$Ca.
The contribution of the low-lying nucleon resonances $P_{33}(1232)$, $P_{11}(1440)$ $D_{13}(1520)$ and $S_{11}(1535)$ to the invariant mass spectra of di-electrons stemming from the exclusive processes $ppto pp e^+e^-$ and $pnto pn e^+e^-$ is investigated within a fully covariant and gauge invariant diagrammatical approach. We employ, within the one-boson exchange approximation, effective nucleon-meson interactions including the exchange mesons $pi$, $eta$, $sigma$, $omega$ and $rho$ as well as excitations and radiative decays of the above low-lying nucleon resonances. The total contribution of these resonances is dominant, however, bremsstrahlung processes in $pp$ and, in particular, $pn$ collisions at beam energies of 1 - 2 GeV are still significant in certain phase space regions.
We closely investigate NN potentials based upon the Delta-full version of chiral effective field theory. We find that recently constructed NN potentials of this kind, which (when applied together with three-nucleon forces) were presented as predicting accurate binding energies and radii for a range of nuclei from A=16 to A=132 and providing accurate equations of state for nuclear matter, yield a chi^2/datum of 60 for the reproduction of the pp data below 100 MeV laboratory energy. We compare this result with the first semi-quantitative $NN$ potential ever constructed in the history of mankind: the Hamada-Johnston potential of the year of 1962. It turns out that the chi^2 for the new Delta-full potentials is more than three times what was already achieved some 60 years ago. In fact, there has not been any known NN potential during the entire history of nuclear forces with a chi^2 as large as the ones of these recent Delta-full potentials of the Gothenburg-Oak Ridge group of the year of 2020. We perceive this historical fact as highly disturbing in view of the current trend for which the term precision has become the most frequently used label to characterize contemporary advances in microscopic nuclear structure physics. We are able to trace the very large chi^2 as well as the apparent success of the potentials in nuclear structure to unrealistic predictions for P-wave states, in which the Delta-full NNLO potentials are off by up to 40 times the NNLO truncation errors. In fact, we show that, the worse the description of the P-wave states, the better the predictions in nuclear structure. Misleading results of the above kind are unhelpful to the communitys efforts in microscopic nuclear structure, because they obscure a correct understanding of the nature of the remaining problems and, thus, hamper sincere attempts towards genuine solutions.
