Abstract
Recent developments in nuclear theory allow us to make a connection between quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and low-energy nuclear physics. First, chiral effective field theory (chiEFT) provides a natural hierarchy to define two-nucleon (NN), three-nucleon (NNN), and even four-nucleon interactions. Second, ab initio methods have been developed capable to test these interactions for light nuclei. In this contribution, we discuss ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) calculations for s-shell and p-shell nuclei with NN and NNN interactions derived within chiEFT.
