Densities and momentum distributions in A < 12 nuclei from chiral effective field theory interactions

Current and future electron and neutrino scattering experiments will be greatly aided by a better understanding of the role played by short-range correlations in nuclei. Two-body physics, including nucleon-nucleon correla-tions and two-body electroweak currents, is required to explain the body of experimental data for both static and dynamical nuclear properties. In this work, we focus on examining nucleon-nucleon correlations from a chiral effective field theory perspective and provide a comprehensive set of new variational Monte Carlo calculations of one-and two-body densities and momentum distributions based on the Norfolk many-body nuclear Hamiltonians for A 12 systems. Online access to detailed tables and figures is available.
