Nonperturbative Shell-Model Interactions from the In-Medium Similarity Renormalization Group

We present the first ab initio construction of valence-space Hamiltonians for medium-mass nuclei based on chiral two- and three-nucleon interactions using the in-medium similarity renormalization group. When applied to the oxygen isotopes, we find experimental ground-state energies are well reproduced, including the flat trend beyond the drip line at O-24. Similarly, natural-parity spectra in O-21,O-22,O-23,O-24 are in agreement with experiment, and we present predictions for excited states in O-25,O-26. The results exhibit a weak dependence on the harmonic-oscillator basis parameter and reproduce spectroscopy within the standard sd valence space.
