We report on the computational characteristics of ab initio nuclear structure calculations in a symmetry-adapted no-core shell model (SA-NCSM) framework. We examine the computational complexity of the current implementation of the SA-NCSM approach, dubbed LSU3shell, by analyzing ab initio results for 6Li and 12C in large harmonic oscillator model spaces and SU(3)-selected subspaces. We demonstrate LSU3shells strong-scaling properties achieved with highly-parallel methods for computing the many-body matrix elements. Results compare favorably with complete model space calculations and significant memory savings are achieved in physically important applications. In particular, a well-chosen symmetry-adapted basis affords memory savings in calculations of states with a fixed total angular momentum in large model spaces while exactly preserving translational invariance.

We propose a novel storage scheme for three-nucleon (3N) interaction matrix elements relevant for the normal-ordered two-body approximation used extensively in ab initio calculations of atomic nuclei. This scheme reduces the required memory by approx imately two orders of magnitude, which allows the generation of 3N interaction matrix elements with the standard truncation of $E_{3max}=28$, well beyond the previous limit of 18. We demonstrate that this is sufficient to obtain ground-state energies in $^{132}$Sn converged to within a few MeV with respect to the $E_{3max}$ truncation. In addition, we study the asymptotic convergence behavior and perform extrapolations to the un-truncated limit. Finally, we investigate the impact of truncations made when evolving free-space 3N interactions with the similarity renormalization group. We find that the contribution of blocks with angular momentum $J_{rm rel}>9/2$ is dominated by a basis-truncation artifact which vanishes in the large-space limit, so these computationally expensive components can be neglected. For the two sets of nuclear interactions employed in this work, the resulting binding energy of $^{132}$Sn agrees with the experimental value within theoretical uncertainties. This work enables converged ab initio calculations of heavy nuclei.

An {em ab initio} (i.e., from first principles) theoretical framework capable of providing a unified description of the structure and low-energy reaction properties of light nuclei is desirable to further our understanding of the fundamental interact ions among nucleons, and provide accurate predictions of crucial reaction rates for nuclear astrophysics, fusion-energy research, and other applications. In this contribution we review {em ab initio} calculations for nucleon and deuterium scattering on light nuclei starting from chiral two- and three-body Hamiltonians, obtained within the framework of the {em ab initio} no-core shell model with continuum. This is a unified approach to nuclear bound and scattering states, in which square-integrable energy eigenstates of the $A$-nucleon system are coupled to $(A-a)+a$ target-plus-projectile wave functions in the spirit of the resonating group method to obtain an efficient description of the many-body nuclear dynamics both at short and medium distances and at long ranges.
We examine nucleon-nucleon realistic interactions, based on their SU(3) decomposition to SU(3)-symmetric components. We find that many of these interaction components are negligible, which, in turn, allows us to identify a subset of physically releva nt components that are sufficient to describe the structure of low-lying states in $^{12}$C and related observables, such as excitation energies, electric quadrupole transitions and rms radii. We find that paring the interaction down to half of the SU(3)-symmetric components or more yields results that practically coincide with the corresponding ab initio calculations with the full interaction. In addition, we show that while various realistic interactions differ in their SU(3) decomposition, their renormalized effective counterparts exhibit a striking similarity and composition that can be linked to dominant nuclear features such as deformation, pairing, clustering, and spin-orbit effect.

In any finite system, the presence of a non-zero permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) would indicate CP violation beyond the small violation predicted in the Standard Model. Here, we use the ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) framework to theoret ically investigate the magnitude of the nuclear EDM. We calculate EDMs of several light nuclei using chiral two- and three-body interactions and a PT-violating Hamiltonian based on a one-meson-exchange model. We present a benchmark calculation for $^3$He, as well as results for the more complex nuclei $^{6,7}$Li, $^9$Be, $^{10,11}$B, $^{13}$C, $^{14,15}$N, and $^{19}$F. Our results suggest that different nuclei can be used to probe different terms of the PT violating interaction. These calculations allow us to suggest which nuclei may be good candidates in the search for a measurable permanent electric dipole moment.
Precision measurements of $beta$-decay observables offer the possibility to search for deviations from the Standard Model. A possible discovery of such deviations requires accompanying first-principles calculations. Here we compute the nuclear struct ure recoil corrections for the $beta$-decay of $^6$He which is of central interest in several experimental efforts. We use the emph{ab~initio} no-core shell model in the impulse approximation with potentials based on chiral effective field theory, augmented with an analysis of relevant uncertainties. We find that nuclear corrections create a significant deviation from the pure Gamow--Teller predictions -- within the sensitivity of future experiments -- making them essential in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
