The radiative capture α(d,γ)6Li is the dominant process in the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) of 6Li. It therefore strongly influences the abundance ratio of 6Li/7Li, for which observational data are three orders of magnitude higher than BBN predictions. Because of the low cross section and the large experimental uncertainties, it is crucial to have accurate predictions. In this talk, I will...
Neutrinoless double beta decay (NLDBD) is the most sensitive probe of lepton-number violation. Its discovery would be a clear signal of physics beyond the Standard Model, confirm the Majorana nature of neutrinos, and provide insight into scenarios of baryogenesis through leptogenesis. In this talk, I will show how the calculation of the decay rate can be organized in a systematic way using...
A first-principle description of atomic nuclei requires the use of two- and three-nucleon interactions combined with an efficient many-body solution for the nuclear state. In particular the treatment of chiral three-body operators provides a significant computational challenge due to high memory requirements. In the first part of my talk, I will discuss two complementary ways to cope with that...
