Previously unknown properties of the natural orbitals (NOs) pertaining to singlet states (with natural parity, if present) of electronic systems with even numbers of electrons are revealed upon the demonstration that, at the limit of → ∞, the NO ψ() with the th largest occupation number ν approaches the solution ψ̃() of the zero-energy Schrödinger equation that reads ([(, )] (r⃗)) - (π/) [ρ(, )] ([ρ(, )] (r⃗)) = 0 (where is the kinetic energy operator), whereas ν approaches ν̃. The resulting formalism, in which the "on-top" two-electron density ρ(, ) solely controls the asymptotic behavior of both ψ() and ν at the limit of the latter becoming infinitesimally small, produces surprisingly accurate values of both quantities even for small . It opens entirely new vistas in the elucidation of their properties, including single-line derivations of the power laws governing the asymptotic decays of ν and ⟨ψ()||ψ()⟩ with , some of which have been obtained previously with tedious algebra and arcane mathematical arguments.

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 (24)O. Similarly, natural-parity spectra in (21,22,23,24)O are in agreement with experiment, and we present predictions for excited states in (25,26)O.

The COMPASS experiment at the CERN SPS has studied the diffractive dissociation of negative pions into the π- π- π+ final state using a 190 GeV/c pion beam hitting a lead target. A partial wave analysis has been performed on a sample of 420,000 events taken at values of the squared 4-momentum transfer t' between 0.1 and 1 GeV2/c2.

Excited states in 212Po were populated by alpha transfer using the 208Pb(18O,14C) reaction, and their deexcitation gamma rays were studied with the Euroball array. Several levels were found to decay by a unique E1 transition (Egamma<1 MeV) populating the yrast state with the same spin value. Their lifetimes were measured by the Doppler-shift attenuation method.

An amplitude analysis of an exclusive sample of 5765 events from the reaction pi- p-->eta'pi- p at 18 GeV/c is described. The eta'pi- production is dominated by natural parity exchange and by three partial waves: those with J(PC) = 1(-+), 2(++), and 4(++). A mass-dependent analysis of the partial-wave amplitudes indicates the production of the a2(1320) meson as well as the a4(2040) meson, observed for the first time decaying to eta'pi-.
