We combine Newtons variational method with ideas from eigenvector continuation to construct a fast & accurate emulator for two-body scattering observables. The emulator will facilitate the application of rigorous statistical methods for interactions that depend smoothly on a set of free parameters. Our approach begins with a trial $K$ or $T$ matrix constructed from a small number of exact solutions to the Lippmann--Schwinger equation. Subsequent emulation only requires operations on small matrices. We provide several applications to short-range potentials with and without the Coulomb interaction and partial-wave coupling. It is shown that the emulator can accurately extrapolate far from the support of the training data. When used to emulate the neutron-proton cross section with a modern chiral interaction as a function of 26 free parameters, it reproduces the exact calculation with negligible error and provides an over 300x improvement in CPU time.

The meson-baryon molecular components for the $N^{ast}$ and $Delta ^{ast}$ resonances are investigated in terms of the compositeness, which is defined as the norm of the two-body wave function from the meson-baryon scattering amplitudes. The scatteri ng amplitudes are constructed in a $pi N$-$eta N$-$sigma N$-$rho N$-$pi Delta$ coupled-channels problem in a meson exchange model together with several bare $N^{ast}$ and $Delta ^{ast}$ states, and parameters are fitted so as to reproduce the on-shell $pi N$ partial wave amplitudes up to the center-of-mass energy 1.9 GeV with the orbital angular momentum $L le 2$. As a result, the Roper resonance $N (1440)$ is found to be dominated by the $pi N$ and $sigma N$ molecular components while the bare-state contribution is small. The squared wave functions in coordinate space imply that both in the $pi N$ and $sigma N$ channels the separation between the meson and baryon is about more than 1 fm for the $N (1440)$ resonance. On the other hand, dominant meson-baryon molecular components are not observed in any other $N^{ast}$ and $Delta ^{ast}$ resonances in the present model, although they have some fractions of the meson-baryon clouds.
We introduce the transition-density formalism, an efficient and general method for calculating the interaction of external probes with light nuclei. One- and two-body transition densities that encode the nuclear structure of the target are evaluated once and stored. They are then convoluted with an interaction kernel to produce amplitudes, and hence observables. By choosing different kernels, the same densities can be used for any reaction in which a probe interacts perturbatively with the target. The method therefore exploits the factorisation between nuclear structure and interaction kernel that occurs in such processes. We study in detail the convergence in the number of partial waves for matrix elements relevant in elastic Compton scattering on $^3$He. The results are fully consistent with our previous calculations in Chiral Effective Field Theory. But the new approach is markedly more computationally efficient, which facilitates the inclusion of more partial-wave channels in the calculation. We also discuss the usefulness of the transition-density method for other nuclei and reactions. Calculations of elastic Compton scattering on heavier targets like $^4$He are straightforward extensions of this study, since the same interaction kernels are used. And the generality of the formalism means that our $^3$He densities can be used to evaluate any $^3$He elastic-scattering observable with contributions from one- and two-body operators.

We explore the constraints on the three-nucleon force (3NF) of chiral effective field theory ($chi$EFT) that are provided by bound-state observables in the $A=3$ and $A=4$ sectors. Our statistically rigorous analysis incorporates experimental error, computational method uncertainty, and the uncertainty due to truncation of the $chi$EFT expansion at next-to-next-to-leading order. A consistent solution for the ${}^3$H binding energy, the ${}^4$He binding energy and radius, and the ${}^3$H $beta$-decay rate can only be obtained if $chi$EFT truncation errors are included in the analysis. All of these except the $beta$-decay rate give essentially degenerate constraints on the 3NF low-energy constants, so it is crucial for estimating these parameters. We use eigenvector continuation for fast and accurate emulation of No-Core Shell Model calculations of the considered few-nucleon observables. This facilitates sampling of the posterior probability distribution, allowing us to also determine the distributions of the hyperparameters that quantify the truncation error. We find a $chi$EFT expansion parameter of $Q=0.33 pm 0.06$ for these observables.
We present the 2-point function from Fast and Accurate Spherical Bessel Transformation (2-FAST) algorithm for a fast and accurate computation of integrals involving one or two spherical Bessel functions. These types of integrals occur when projecting the galaxy power spectrum $P(k)$ onto the configuration space, $xi_ell^ u(r)$, or spherical harmonic space, $C_ell(chi,chi)$. First, we employ the FFTlog transformation of the power spectrum to divide the calculation into $P(k)$-dependent coefficients and $P(k)$-independent integrations of basis functions multiplied by spherical Bessel functions. We find analytical expressions for the latter integrals in terms of special functions, for which recursion provides a fast and accurate evaluation. The algorithm, therefore, circumvents direct integration of highly oscillating spherical Bessel functions.
The standard approach to nuclear physics encodes phase shift information in an NN potential, then decodes that information in forming an effective interaction, appropriate to a low-momentum Hilbert space. Here we show that it is instead possible to c onstruct the effective interaction directly from continuum phase shifts and mixing angles, eliminating all reference to a high momentum potential. The theory is rapidly convergent and well behaved, yielding sub-keV accuracy.
