The JST-ERATO Sekiguchi Three-Nucleon Forces Project (TOMOE Project) is currently ongoing. This project aims to determine three-nucleon forces based on chiral effective field theory using high-precision scattering data from few-nucleon experiments. Establishing a quantum many-body calculation to describe nuclear properties with high predictive power is within the scope. I will present an...
Many important problem in physics can be attributed to solving accurately Schroedinger equation for 3- and 4-body problem.By solving the equation, i) we can predict various observable before measurement, and ii) we can obtain new understandings by comparing the observed data and our theoretical prediction. For this purpose, it is necessary 1) to develop the method to calculate 3- and 4-body...
It is not trivial to quantitatively reproduce nuclear saturation, the most fundamental property of atomic nuclei, which is often discussed together with the necessity of three-body forces. The density functional theory is known to reproduce the saturation property and gives quantitative descriptions from light to heavy nuclei with a single universal energy density functional. For instance, it...
