We introduce a hybrid many-body approach that combines the flexibility of the No-Core Shell Model (NCSM) with the efficiency of Multi-Configurational Perturbation Theory (MCPT) to compute ground- and excited-state energies in arbitrary open-shell nuclei in large model spaces. The NCSM in small model spaces is used to define a multi-determinantal reference state that contains the most important multi-particle multi-hole correlations and a subsequent second-order MCPT correction is used to capture additional correlation effects from a large model space. We apply this new ab initio approach for the calculation of ground-state and excitation energies of even and odd-mass carbon, oxygen, and fluorine isotopes and compare to large-scale NCSM calculations that are computationally much more expensive.

We merge two successful ab initio nuclear-structure methods, the no-core shell model (NCSM) and the multi-reference in-medium similarity renormalization group (IM-SRG) to define a new many-body approach for the comprehensive description of ground and excited states of closed and open-shell nuclei. Building on the key advantages of the two methods---the decoupling of excitations at the many-body level in the IM-SRG and the access to arbitrary nuclei, eigenstates, and observables in the NCSM---their combination enables fully converged no-core calculations for an unprecedented range of nuclei and observables at moderate computational cost. We present applications in the carbon and oxygen isotopic chains, where conventional NCSM calculations are still feasible and provide an important benchmark. The efficiency and rapid convergence of the new approach make it ideally suited for ab initio studies of the complete spectroscopy of nuclei up into the medium-mass regime.
We extend the recently developed Jacobi no-core shell model to hypernuclei. Based on the coefficients of fractional parentage for ordinary nuclei, we define a basis where the hyperon is the spectator particle. We then formulate transition coefficient s to states that single out a hyperon-nucleon pair which allow us to implement a hypernuclear many-baryon Hamiltonian for $p$-shell hypernuclei. As a first application, we use the basis states and the transition coefficients to calculate the ground states of $^{4}_{Lambda}$He, $^{4}_{Lambda}$H, $^{5}_{Lambda}$He, $^{6}_{Lambda}$He, $^{6}_{Lambda}$Li, and $^{7}_{Lambda}$Li and, additionally, the first excited states of $^{4}_{Lambda}$He, $^{4}_{Lambda}$H, and $^{7}_{Lambda}$Li. In order to obtain converged results, we employ the similarity renormalization group (SRG) to soften the nucleon-nucleon and hyperon-nucleon interactions. Although the dependence on this evolution of the Hamiltonian is significant, we show that a strong correlation of the results can be used to identify preferred SRG parameters. This allows for meaningful predictions of hypernuclear binding and excitation energies. The transition coefficients will be made publicly available as HDF5 data files.
We present an approach to derive effective shell-model interactions from microscopic nuclear forces. The similarity-transformed coupled-cluster Hamiltonian decouples the single-reference state of a closed-shell nucleus and provides us with a core for the shell model. We use a second similarity transformation to decouple a shell-model space from the excluded space. We show that the three-body terms induced by both similarity transformations are crucial for an accurate computation of ground and excited states. As a proof of principle we use a nucleon-nucleon interaction from chiral effective field theory, employ a $^4$He core, and compute low-lying states of $^{6-8}$He and $^{6-8}$Li in $p$-shell model spaces. Our results agree with benchmarks from full configuration interaction.
We report on a novel ab initio approach for nuclear few- and many-body systems with strangeness. Recently, we developed a relevant no-core shell model technique which we successfully applied in first calculations of lightest $Lambda$ hypernuclei. The use of a translationally invariant finite harmonic oscillator basis allows us to employ large model spaces, compared to traditional shell model calculations, and use realistic nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-hyperon interactions (such as those derived from EFT). We discuss formal aspects of the methodology, show first demonstrative results for ${}_{Lambda}^3$H, ${}_{Lambda}^4$H and ${}^4_Lambda$He, and give outlook.
The production of $^7$Be and $^7$Li nuclei plays an important role in primordial nucleosynthesis, nuclear astrophysics, and fusion energy generation. The $^3mathrm{He}(alpha , gamma) ^7mathrm{Be}$ and $^3mathrm{H}(alpha , gamma) ^7mathrm{Li}$ radiati ve-capture processes are important to determine the $^7$Li abundance in the early universe and to predict the correct fraction of pp-chain branches resulting in $^7$Be versus $^8$B neutrinos. In this work we study the properties of $^7$Be and $^7$Li within the no-core shell model with continuum (NCSMC) method, using chiral nucleon-nucleon interactions as the only input, and analyze all the binary mass partitions involved in the formation of these systems. The NCSMC is an ab initio method applicable to light nuclei that provides a unified description of bound and scattering states and thus is well suited to investigate systems with many resonances and pronounced clustering like $^7$Be and $^7$Li. Our calculations reproduce all the experimentally known states of the two systems and provide predictions for several new resonances of both parities. Some of these new possible resonances are built on the ground states of $^6$Li and $^6$He, and thus represent a robust prediction. We do not find any resonance in the p${+}^6$Li mass partition near the threshold. On the other hand, in the p${+}^6$He mass partition of $^7$Li we observe an $S$-wave resonance near the threshold producing a very pronounced peak in the calculated S factor of the $^6mathrm{He} (mathrm{p},gamma) ^7mathrm{Li}$ radiative-capture reaction, which could be relevant for astrophysics and its implications should be investigated.
