EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Light nuclei with semilocal momentum-space regularized chiral interactions up to third order

P. Maris, E. Epelbaum, R. J. Furnstahl, J. Golak, K. Hebeler, T. Hüther, H. Kamada, H. Krebs, Ulf-G. Meißner, J. A. Melendez, A. Nogga, P. Reinert, R. Roth, R. Skibiński, V. Soloviov, K. Topolnicki, J. P. Vary, Yu. Volkotrub, H. Witała, and T. Wolfgruber (LENPIC Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 103, 054001 (2021) - Published 5 May, 2021

This Low Energy Nuclear Physics International Collaboration (LENPIC) paper provides an example of $a b$ - $i n i t i o$ nuclear structure calculations worth noting. Using chiral effective field theory starting from two-body and three-body nuclear data, the authors work up through $p$ -shell nuclei, with careful attention paid to quantifying the theoretical uncertainties. The remaining discrepancies with experiment, particularly overbinding in the upper $p$ shell, point to next steps to be taken. As a caveat, known excited states that cannot be well described within current computational limitations are missing.
