abstract
We report quantum Monte Carlo calculations of ground and low-lying excited states for nuclei with A \leq 7 using a realistic Hamiltonian containing the Argonne v18 two-nucleon and Urbana IX three-nucleon potentials. A detailed description of the Green's function Monte Carlo algorithm for systems with state-dependent potentials is given and a number of tests of its convergence and accuracy are performed. We find that the Hamiltonian being used results in ground states of both 6Li and 7Li that are stable against breakup into subclusters, but somewhat underbound compared to experiment. We also have results for 6He, 7He, and their isobaric analogs. The known excitation spectra of all these nuclei are reproduced reasonably well and we predict a number of excited states in 6He and 7He. We also present spin-polarized one-body and several different two-body density distributions. These are the first microscopic calculations that directly produce nuclear shell structure from realistic interactions that fit NN scattering data.

Hybrid stars with a 2SC+⟨dd⟩ quark core cool hotter than with 2SC and near CFL; with a 3P2 gap near 5×10^8 K their cooling curves pass through the observed temperatures of 3C58, Vela Jr., and Vela-like pulsars.
Ab initio QMC calculations yield δ_C ≈ 0.15–0.25% for ¹⁰C superallowed beta decay, consistent across phenomenological and chiral interactions within 34–65% relative uncertainties.
Develops stable minimum principles for scattering states with proven bounded errors from true states, enabling rigorous bounds on scattering amplitudes for momentum-dependent, Coulomb, and bound-state scattering.
