Full-Bayesian model calibration for chiral EFTs

ORAL

Abstract

In the past few decades, the development of quantum many-body algorithms has progressed to yield highly accurate and precise calculations of nuclear observables. Coinciding with this, high-quality models of nuclear interactions have seen rapid advancements. One such class of interactions are those derived from Effective Field Theories (EFTs). When paired with modern many-body techniques, EFT models return similar results to well-tested phenomenological models. However, current calculations of nuclear properties are largely devoid of proper uncertainty estimation. With EFTs, a natural estimation of uncertainty exists through the truncation of the EFT perturbation.
