<i>Ab Initio</i> Limits of Atomic Nuclei
<i>Ab Initio</i> Limits of Atomic Nuclei
We predict the limits of existence of atomic nuclei, the proton and neutron drip lines, from the light through medium-mass regions. Starting from a chiral two- and three-nucleon interaction with good saturation properties, we use the valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group to calculate ground-state and separation energies from helium to …
