Quantum Monte Carlo and Fewer-Body Approaches to Scattering, Reactions, and Related Properties of Nuclei

The overall goals of this project were to advance understanding of reactions and scattering states in light nuclei, as well as related properties of bound states, and to facilitate application of that understanding to astrophysics and cosmology. These goals were pursued mainly using quantum Monte Carlo methods to compute nuclear properties using protons and neutrons as the basic degrees of freedom.
