Background: Elastic scattering is probably the main event in the interactions of nucleons with nuclei. Even if this process has been extensively studied in the last years, a consistent description, i.e. starting from microscopic two- and many-body forces connected by the same symmetries and principles, is still under development. Purpose: In this work we study the domain of applicability of microscopic two-body chiral potentials in the construction of an optical potential. Methods: We basically follow the KMT approach to build a microscopic complex optical potential and then we perform some test calculations on 16O at different energies. Results: Our conclusion is that a particular set of potentials with a Lippmann-Schwinger cutoff at relatively high energies (above 500 MeV) has the best performances reproducing the scattering observables. Conclusions: Our work shows that building an optical potential within Chiral Perturbation Theory is a promising approach to the description of elastic proton scattering, in particular, in view of the future inclusion of many-body forces that naturally arise in such framework.

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 predictin g 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.
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.

The scale-dependence of the nucleon-nucleon interaction, which in recent years has been extensively analysed within the context of chiral effective field theory, is, in fact, inherent in any potential models constrained by a fit to scattering data. A comparison between a purely phenomenological potential and local interactions derived from chiral effective field theory suggests that--thanks to the ability to describe nucleon-nucleon scattering at higher energies, as well as the deuteron momentum distribution extracted from electro-disintegration data--phenomenological potentials are best suited for the description of nuclear dynamics at the scale relevant to neutron star matter.

In the rest frame of a many-body system, used in the calculation of its static and scattering properties, the center of mass of a two-body subsystem is allowed to drift. We show, in a model independent way, that drift corrections to the nucleon-nucle on potential are relatively large and arise from both one- and two-pion exchange processes. As far as chiral symmetry is concerned, corrections to these processes begin respectively at $cO(q^2)$ and $cO(q^4)$. The two-pion exchange interaction also yields a new spin structure, that promotes the presence of $P$ waves in trinuclei and is associated with profile functions which do not coincide with neither central nor spin-orbit ones. In principle, the new spin terms should be smaller than the $cO(q^3)$ spin-orbit components. However, in the isospin even channel, a large contribution reverts this expectation and gives rise to the prediction of important drift effects.
One important ingredient for many applications of nuclear physics to astrophysics, nuclear energy, and stockpile stewardship are cross sections for reactions of neutrons with rare isotopes. Since direct measurements are often not feasible, indirect m ethods, e.g. (d,p) reactions, should be used. Those (d,p) reactions may be viewed as three-body reactions and described with Faddeev techniques. Faddeev equations in momentum space have a long tradition of utilizing separable interactions in order to arrive at sets of coupled integral equations in one variable. Optical potentials representing the effective interactions in the neutron (proton) nucleus subsystem are usually non-Hermitian as well as energy-dependent. Including excitations of the nucleus in the calculation requires a multichannel optical potential. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a separable, energy-dependent multichannel representation of complex, energy-dependent optical potentials that contain excitations of the nucleus and that fulfill reciprocity exactly. Momentum space Lippmann-Schwinger integral equations are solved with standard techniques to obtain the form factors for the separable representation. Starting from energy-dependent multichannel optical potentials for neutron and proton scattering from $^{12}$C, separable representations based on a generalization of the Ernst-Shakin-Thaler (EST) scheme are constructed which fulfill reciprocity exactly. Applications to n$+^{12}$C and p$+^{12}$C scattering are investigated for energies from 0 to 50~MeV.
