Title: Ab Initio Coupled-Cluster Calculations for Nuclei Using Methods of Quantum Chemistry

Journal Article · · European Physical Journal. A

We report preliminary large scale ab initio calculations of ground and excited states of {sup 16}O using quantum chemistry inspired coupled cluster methods and realistic two-body interactions. By using the renormalized Hamiltonians obtained with a no-core G-matrix approach, we obtain the virtually converged results at the level of two-body interactions. Due to the polynomial scaling with the system size that characterizes coupled cluster methods, we can probe large model spaces with up to seven major oscillator shells, for which standard non-truncated shell-model calculations are not possible.
