Description
A reliable prediction of electroweak processes involving a nucleus is required to further understand nuclear structure and other related topics, such as nucleosynthesis and particle physics. In the past two decades, the range of applicability of nuclear ab initio calculations has been rapidly extending and reaching mass number of 200 systems. With controlled uncertainty estimations, an ab initio framework can provide a meaningful prediction where performing experiments is difficult or impossible. Nuclear radii and moments are complementary information to the energies and can be useful tools to test the quality of the calculations. In this presentation, I will discuss our recent results for charge radii, magnetic and quadrupole moments of medium-heavy nuclei computed with the combination of chiral effective-field theory and valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group approach.
