| contents | Low-resolution nuclear Hamiltonians, obtained from chiral effective field theory (EFT) and softened using renormalization group techniques, have been very successful in nuclear structure theory. The associated EFT truncation uncertainty for these potentials is difficult to quantify. We use singular values decompositions of low-resolution nuclear forces to obtain an operator basis to study Hamiltonian uncertainties for these potentials. We perform Bayesian inference for the singular values and three-body low-energy constants, the free parameters of nuclear Hamiltonians in our framework, using likelihoods based on nucleon-nucleon phase shifts and triton observables to account for the EFT truncation uncertainties in these quantities. We propagate the resulting distribution of Hamiltonians forward to predictions for ground-state properties of $^{24,28}$O and $^{48}$Ca, comparing against other state-of-the-art nuclear structure predictions. Our approach makes it possible to account for EFT uncertainties when using low-resolution potentials, which is important for many ongoing studies in exotic nuclei. |
