Title:     Towards ab initio calculations of complex nuclei

Abstract: Ab initio calculations of atomic nuclei aim at describing their structure and reaction properties starting solely from the basic interactions between nucleons. In the past decade, thanks to developments in many-body theory and in the modelling of nuclear forces, such approaches have steadily progressed and are now able to reach several tens of isotopes up to mass A~100. The long-term goal is to eventually extend such calculations to the whole nuclear chart, i.e. to several thousands of nuclei up to mass A~300. In this context, one of the main challenges consists in devising a method that can tackle complex, i.e. doubly open-shell, systems and at the same time scales gently with mass number in order to limit the computational cost of the simulations. In this seminar I will present current efforts towards this objective, discuss recent examples of ab initio calculations and address future perspectives in the field.
