abstract

We present quantitative evidence that high-quality internucleon forces derived from $\chi$EFT exhibit a striking dominance of Wigner's supermultiplet symmetry, without invoking the large-$N_c$ limit of QCD or assumptions about specific nuclei. We trace the manifestation of this symmetry in nuclear structure using the \textit{ab initio} Symmetry Adapted Model (SAM) and identify suppressed spin-isospin polarizability. Our calculations show that a majority of $\rm ^4He$, $\rm ^6Li$, and $\rm ^6He$ wave functions is concentrated in a few $\rm U(4)$ irreducible representations, without imposing any \textit{a priori} constraints on the model space. This emergent feature points to a strategy for reducing explosive many-body bases of the NCSM while retaining physically important configurations needed to compute observables.

Coulomb Corrections to Three-Nucleon Moments

nucl-th · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Pionless EFT calculations find unexpectedly small O(alpha) Coulomb corrections to three-nucleon magnetic moments and GT matrix elements, yielding a fitted prediction for the proton-proton fusion reduced matrix element of 2.776(331).
