Title:     SRG Evolved Chiral NN+3N Interactions in ab initio Nuclear Structure

Abstract: Chiral effective field theory (EFT) provides a systematic scheme to obtain two- (NN), three-body (3N) and higher many-body interactions based on the fundamental symmetries of QCD.   
Due to the recent extension of the Similarity Renormalization Group (SRG) beyond the two-body level, we are able to probe these interactions in ab initio nuclear structure calculations. 
In the past years several chiral interactions were developed using different regulator functions, cutoffs and chiral expansion orders. This variety of interactions will allow us to quantify the uncertainty of the chiral expansion and to confront the predictions of chiral EFT with experiment. 
During my talk I will present the success and limitation of the application of chiral NN+3N interactions to nuclear structure physics.
