Description
Light-ion reactions represent one of the most fascinating areas of nuclear data & theory. Residing far from the mass region where collective mean-field descriptions are valid, only a fully microscopic quantum many-body approach can be applied in hopes of reaching a predictive regime. First principles approaches offer a completely new framework for the evaluation of nuclear data, ranging from neutron standards cross sections, to thermonuclear fusion reactions. We will discuss such approaches, focusing on recent results and future prospects.
