In this talk I will discuss recent advances which expand the scope of ab initio calculations to essentially all properties of light, medium-mass nuclei and beyon. When based on consistently derived two- and three-nucleon forces, as well as two-body currents, these powerful approaches allow first predictions of the limits of nuclear existence and the evolution of magic numbers far from...

In this contribution I will report on quantification of theoretical uncertainties in nuclear matrix elements relevant for dark matter and electro-weak interactions with nuclei. Recently we have developed a novel ab initio framework for computations of nuclear matrix elements [1] and applied it in calculations of reaction rates for dark matter particles scattering off selected nuclear targets...

The reactor antineutrino and gallium anomalies have been long unexplained. Possible explanations for both of these anomalies include new physics, such as the existence of one or more eV-scale sterile neutrino [1]. However, the previous theoretical calculations, which do not replicate the experimental results, rely on many simplifying approximations [2,3].
In the reactor-antineutrino...
