Auxiliary field diffusion Monte Carlo calculations of light and medium-mass nuclei with local chiral interactions
Abstract
Quantum Monte Carlo methods have recently been employed to study properties of nuclei and infinite matter using local chiral effective-field-theory interactions. In this paper, we present a detailed description of the auxiliary field diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm for nuclei in combination with local chiral two- and three-nucleon interactions up to next-to-next-to-leading order. We show results for the binding energy, charge radius, charge form factor, and Coulomb sum rule in nuclei with $$3{\le}A{\le}16$$. Particular attention is devoted to the effect of different operator structures in the three-body force for different cutoffs. Finally, the outcomes suggest that local chiral interactions fit to few-body observables give a very good description of the ground-state properties of nuclei up to $$^{16}\mathrm{O}$$, with the exception of one fit for the softer cutoff which predicts overbinding in larger nuclei.
