The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic kilometer detector located at the geographic South Pole. IceCube was designed to detect high-energy neutrinos from cosmic sources, and the DeepCore extension of IceCube enables the study of atmospheric neutrino interactions down to energies of a few GeV. IceCube has detected a diffuse flux of neutrinos in the energy range from 100 TeV to several PeV,...

The MAJORANA Collaboration has completed construction and is now operating an array of high purity Ge detectors searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay in 76Ge. The array, known as the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR, is comprised of 44 kg of Ge detectors (30 kg enriched to 88% in 76Ge) installed in an ultra-low background compact shield at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South...

5) Nuclear and particle astrophysics
Charge-independence breaking (CIB) is well established in the two-nucleon (2N) system in the 1S0 state as evidenced by the different values of the scattering lengths for the neutron-proton (np), proton-proton (pp) and neutron-neutron (nn) systems. That knowledge of CIB is incorporated into modern, high precision NN potentials, as exemplified by the standard semi-phenomenological models such as...

5) Nuclear and particle astrophysics
The careful analysis of modern precise data requires not only the state-of-art theoretical approaches but also estimations of uncertainties of theoretical results. Using in ab-initio calculations nuclear interactions based on different physical assumptions, the uncertainties of potential parameters and, in case of the chiral forces, the truncation errors related to neglecting the higher orders...
