A major goal in nuclear physics is to understand nuclear stability, structure, and reactions as a consequence of the interactions between nucleons. This requires modelling nuclei as collections of strongly interacting, and consequently, strongly correlated particles. We begin with the construction of realistic two-body potential models constrained by nucleon-nucleon elastic scattering data and deuteron properties, supplemented with consistent three-body potentials and two-body exchange currents. Nuclear ground-state properties, such as the binding energy, one- and two-body densities, and momentum distribution, are then calculated by variational methods based on correlated wave functions for a wide variety of nuclear systems, ranging from few-body nuclei like [sup 3]H and [sup 4]He, to light closed-shell nuclei like [sup 16]O and and [sup 40]Ca, to nuclear matter and neutron stars. Electromagnetic properties such as the elastic form factors, Coulomb sum, inelastic response, ([ital e], [ital e][prime][ital p]) reactions, as well as low-energy electroweak capture reactions are also studied in this framework.
