Nuclear Lattice EFT • Continuum benchmarks • Electroweak operators • Hypernuclei
Overview
My work is centered on developing a high-fidelity, continuum-capable, uncertainty-aware ab-initio theory. Key ingrediants are the adiabatic projection method for scattering, the pinhole algorithm for model-independent density/clustering diagnostics, and wavefunction matching for employing N3LO interactions in production NLEFT calculations.
Current directions
1) Scattering and reactions from lattice simulations
- Elastic and inelastic scattering.
- Radiative capture and reaction observables.
2) High-fidelity chiral EFT on the lattice
- Order-consistent interactions and electroweak operators for predictive calculations.
3) Electroweak processes and symmetry tests
- Weak-process benchmarks (e.g., triton lifetime) as stepping stones to heavier systems.
4) Hypernuclei and dense matter
- Ab-initio hyper-neutron matter using sign-controlled formulations within NLEFT.
