Abstract
We study ground- and excited-state properties of all -shell nuclei with neutron and proton numbers , based on a set of low-resolution two- and three-nucleon interactions that predict realistic saturation properties of nuclear matter. We focus on estimating the theoretical uncertainties due to variation of the resolution scale, the low-energy couplings, as well as from the many-body method. The experimental two-neutron and two-proton separation energies are reasonably well reproduced, with an uncertainty range of . The first excited energies also show overall agreement, with a more narrow uncertainty range of . In most cases, this range is dominated by the uncertainties in the Hamiltonian.
