| Abstract: |
Effective interactions and transition operators have a long history in
nuclear physics. From the early works of Brueckner and Bethe to the
present time, microscopic approaches based on realistic
nucleon–nucleon interactions, fit to phase shifts, have produced many
useful results and insights. Recently, an ab initio approach
has been developed that successfully weds a no-core finite basis state
treatment, conserving center of mass motion, with an Hermitian
effective Hamiltonian derived from realistic two-nucleon and
tri-nucleon interactions. We present this approach with a sample of
recent results. |
