Nuclear  many-body correlations represent the core manifestation of complex interactions and collective behaviors among multiple nucleons in atomic nuclei, playing a crucial role in understanding nuclear structure, dynamics, and reaction mechanisms.  

Our research employs Monte Carlo methods to sample the spatial distribution of nucleon coordinates from ab initio many-body wave functions, directly resolving the microscopic features of multi-nucleon correlations within nuclei. By stochastically generating a large ensemble of nucleon configurations, this approach quantitatively characterizes short-range pairing, long-range correlations, and collective motion patterns, while simultaneously extracting nuclear geometric properties (e.g., deformations, cluster structures) and shell evolution signatures.  

This methodology not only provides intuitive microscopic benchmarks for validating nuclear force models and many-body theories but also synergizes with density functional theory (DFT) to optimize functional forms and elucidate how nucleon correlations govern macroscopic nuclear properties (e.g., binding energies, charge distributions). By bridging ab initio insights with phenomenological frameworks, it offers a novel perspective for constructing nuclear structure models and interpreting experimental observations.
