Chiral three-nucleon forces for the new local position-space two-nucleon potential in textit{ab initio} many-body calculations
read the original abstract
Three-nucleon force (3NF) plays an important role in understanding the structure of finite nuclei and the saturation properties of infinite nuclear matter. More specifically, 3NF should be necessary for each two-nucleon force (2NF) to obtain more accurate description of nuclear systems. 3NF derived from the chiral effective field theory has been successful in $\textit{ab initio}$ calculations of atomic nuclei. Most of established chiral nuclear forces have a nonlocal form in the momentum space. In this work, we construct a companion chiral 3NF specifically tailored to the new Idaho local position-space 2NF, and calculate binding energies and radii of nuclei up to $^{132}$Sn. We find that a chiral 3NF with hybrid local and nonlocal regulators has advantages in improving the nuclear structure calculations of both binding energies and radii with the new Idaho 2NF. The two low-energy constants of 3NF are constrained by the ground-state energies of $^3$H and $^{16}$O as suggested in a recent work.
