Deep learning: Extrapolation tool for ab initio nuclear theory
Ab initio approaches in nuclear theory, such as the no-core shell model (NCSM), have been developed for approximately solving finite nuclei with realistic strong interactions. The NCSM and other approaches require an extrapolation of the results obtained in a finite basis space to the infinite basis space limit and assessment of the uncertainty of those extrapolations. Each observable requires a separate extrapolation and most observables have no proven extrapolation method. We propose a feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) method as an extrapolation tool to obtain the ground state energy and the ground state point-proton root-mean-square (rms) radius along with their extrapolation uncertainties. The designed ANNs are sufficient to produce results for these two very different observables in $^6$Li from the ab initio NCSM results in small basis spaces that satisfy the following theoretical physics condition: independence of basis space parameters in the limit of extremely large matrices. Comparisons of the ANN results with other extrapolation methods are also provided.

Quantified limits of the nuclear landscape
The chart of the nuclides is limited by particle drip lines beyond which nuclear stability to proton or neutron emission is lost. Predicting the range of particle-bound isotopes poses an appreciable challenge for nuclear…
Gaussian ProcessesBeyond the proton drip line: Bayesian analysis of proton-emitting nuclei
The limits of the nuclear landscape are determined by nuclear binding energies. Beyond the proton drip lines, where the separation energy becomes negative, there is not enough binding energy to prevent protons from escap…
Gaussian ProcessesUncertainty QuantificationThe DNA of nuclear models: How AI predicts nuclear masses
Obtaining high-precision predictions of nuclear masses, or equivalently nuclear binding energies, $E_b$, remains an important goal in nuclear-physics research. Recently, many AI-based tools have shown promising results o…
Bridging Ab Initio Symmetries and Global Nuclear Masses with Interpretable Neural Networks
Ab initio modeling has established Wigner's SU(4) and Elliott's SU(3) as dominant symmetries of the nuclear force in light and intermediate-mass nuclei. We ask whether they also govern nuclear binding across the entire c…
Bayesian approach to model-based extrapolation of nuclear observables
The mass, or binding energy, is the basis property of the atomic nucleus. It determines its stability, and reaction and decay rates. Quantifying the nuclear binding is important for understanding the origin of elements i…
