SUMMARY:National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:
 Heiko Hergert from Michigan State University will 
 be speaking.\n
 \n
 The presentation is titled 
 "A New Generation of Many-Body Methods for 
 Nuclear Structure."\n
 \n
 Abstract: Nowadays, computationally 
 efficient many-body methods can 
 be used to perform first-principles calculations 
 for atomic nuclei up to mass A~150. This 
 progress has made it possible to confront modern 
 two- and three-nucleon interactions from 
 Chiral Effective Field Theory with a wealth 
 of experimental data, and provide important guidance 
 in their ongoing refinement. In my talk, 
 I will focus on one such many-body approach, 
 the In-Medium Similarity Renormalization 
 Group (IMSRG). The IMSRG not only offers a means 
 to directly compute certain nuclear properties, 
 but also provides a powerful framework 
 for designing "hybrid" methods that allow us 
 to tackle nuclei with strong collective correlations, 
 e.g., due to intrinsic deformation. 
 I will present IMSRG applications to the first-principles 
 description of (doubly) open-shell 
 nuclei, including candidate nuclei for fundamental 
 symmetry tests. I will also give an 
 overview of new developments that promise to 
 once again increase the capabilities of the 
 IMSRG and related nuclear structure methods in 
 the coming years.\n\n
