Description
Over the past decade, ab initio methods for finite nuclei have expanded their reach towards larger masses and gained both in precision and complexity. While limitations of the interactions and convergence issues had for long restricted the relevance of results in the mid-mass domain, those restrictions are now being lifted. In this seminar, after introducing ab initio methods and their recent progress [1], I will detail how we investigated nuclei at the limit of the ab initio mass domain in our recent study on Sn and Xe isotopes [2] that focused on charge radii and densities and reproduced scattering results from the SCRIT experiment [3].
