Ab initio methods help scientists make sense of complex particle collisions

When atomic nuclei and subatomic particles interact, the results are incredibly complex. These are the “many body problems” of quantum mechanics. To help make sense of these interactions, scientists create ways to simplify the range of possible outcomes. When atomic nuclei and subatomic particles interact, the results are incredibly complex.
