Title:     Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of electromagnetic transitions in light nuclei

Abstract: Recently, we presented ab initio quantum Monte Carlo calculations of magnetic moments and M1 transitions in A < 10 nuclei, 
which include two-body meson-exchange currents' contributions of one- and two-pion range, derived from chiral effective field. These corrections are found to always improve the theoretical predictions, leading to a very good agreement with the experimental data.  
Here, we report on a study, carried out within the same framework, of M1 transitions in low-lying states of 8Be. We also present a number of E2 transition calculations, evaluated in impulse approximation, with emphasis on transitions involving the 8Be resonant excited states at ~3 MeV and ~ 11$ MeV.
