Effective Field Theory analysis of 3He-α scattering data

We treat low-energy 3He-α elastic scattering in an Effective Field Theory (EFT) that exploits the separation of scales in this reaction. We compute the amplitude up to Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order…

Emulating \emph{ab initio} computations of infinite nucleonic matter

We construct efficient emulators for the ab initio computation of the infinite nuclear matter equation of state. These emulators are based on the subspace-projected coupled-cluster method for which we…

Perspectives on few-body cluster structures in exotic nuclei

It is a fascinating phenomenon in nuclear physics that states with a pronounced few-body structure can emerge from the complex dynamics of many nucleons. Such halo or cluster states often appear near…

Analyzing rotational bands in odd-mass nuclei using effective field theory and Bayesian methods

We recently developed an Effective Field Theory (EFT) for rotational bands in odd-mass nuclei. Here we use EFT expressions to perform a Bayesian analysis of data on the rotational energy levels of…

Uncertainty quantification in electromagnetic observables of nuclei

We present strategies to quantify theoretical uncertainties in modern ab initio calculations of electromagnetic observables in light and medium-mass nuclei. We discuss how uncertainties build up from…

Emergence of nuclear saturation within $\Delta$--full chiral effective field theory

Nuclear saturation is a key property of low-energy nuclear physics that depends on fine details of the nuclear interaction. Here we develop a unified statistical framework that uses realistic nuclear…

Combining the in-medium similarity renormalization group with the density matrix renormalization group: Shell structure and information entropy

We propose a novel many-body framework combining the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) with the valence-space (VS) formulation of the in-medium similarity renormalization group. This hybrid…

Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay: A Roadmap for Matching Theory to Experiment

The observation of neutrino oscillations and hence non-zero neutrino masses provided a milestone in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. But even though we now know that neutrinos are…

Rooting the EDF method into the ab initio framework

Recently, ab initio techniques have been successfully connected to the traditional valence-space shell model. In doing so, they can either explicitly provide ab initio shell-model effective…

Bayesian Methods for Effective Field Theories

This thesis focuses on two complementary topics for EFT UQ using Bayesian methods— quantifying EFT truncation uncertainty and parameter estimation for LECs.

Perturbative Treatment of Three-Nucleon Force Contact Terms in Three-Nucleon Faddeev Equations

We present a perturbative approach to solving the three-nucleon continuum Faddeev equation. This approach is particularly well suited to dealing with variable strengths of contact terms in a chiral…

We recently developed a Bayesian framework for parameter estimation in general effective field theories. Here we present selected results from using that framework to estimate parameters with a…

Particles with resonant short-range interactions have universal properties that do not depend on the details of their structure or their interactions at short distances. In the three-body system,…

Abstract. We discuss the role of the so-called Darwin-Foldy term in the evaluation of the proton and deuteron charge radii from atomic hydrogen spectroscopy and nuclear scattering data. The question…
