abstract
We make ab initio predictions for the A = 6 nuclear level scheme based on two- and three-nucleon interactions up to next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory ($\chi$EFT). We utilize eigenvector continuation and Bayesian methods to quantify uncertainties stemming from the many-body method, the $\chi$EFT truncation, and the low-energy constants of the nuclear interaction. The construction and validation of emulators is made possible via the development of JupiterNCSM -- a new M-scheme no-core shell model code that uses on-the-fly Hamiltonian matrix construction for efficient, single-node computations up to $N_\mathrm{max} = 10$ for ${}^{6}\mathrm{Li}$. We find a slight underbinding of ${}^{6}\mathrm{He}$ and ${}^{6}\mathrm{Li}$, although consistent with experimental data given our theoretical error bars. As a result of incorporating a correlated $\chi$EFT-truncation errors we find more precise predictions (smaller error bars) for separation energies: $S_d({}^{6}\mathrm{Li}) = 0.89 \pm 0.44$ MeV, $S_{2n}({}^{6}\mathrm{He}) = 0.20 \pm 0.60$ MeV, and for the beta decay Q-value: $Q_{\beta^-}({}^{6}\mathrm{He}) = 3.71 \pm 0.65$ MeV. We conclude that our error bars can potentially be reduced further by extending the model space used by JupiterNCSM.

Unexpected Rise in Nuclear Collectivity from Short-Range Physics
Short-range S-wave contact terms in the chiral nucleon-nucleon force substantially change computed quadrupole collectivity in 6Li and 12C by shifting surface oscillations within one dominant nuclear shape.
