Ab initio alpha-alpha scattering
read the original abstract
Processes involving alpha particles and alpha-like nuclei comprise a major part of stellar nucleosynthesis and hypothesized mechanisms for thermonuclear supernovae. In an effort towards understanding alpha processes from first principles, we describe in this letter the first ab initio calculation of alpha-alpha scattering. We use lattice effective field theory to describe the low-energy interactions of nucleons and apply a technique called the adiabatic projection method to reduce the eight-body system to an effective two-cluster system. We find good agreement between lattice results and experimental phase shifts for S-wave and D-wave scattering. The computational scaling with particle number suggests that alpha processes involving heavier nuclei are also within reach in the near future.

Searching for the Tetraneutron Resonance on the Lattice
Lattice EFT calculations find no resonance signature in the tetraneutron ground-state energy, only a weak attraction in the dineutron-dineutron phase shift whose confined energy is close to the experimental low-energy peak.
