Three-Body Forces: from Matter to Nuclei 5-9 May, 2014 Main Topics Nuclear interactions derived within chiral EFT. New approaches for systematically optimizing the interactions and devising fit protocols for the three-body low-energy constants. Paths for generating and distributing matrix elements of three-nucleon forces in a format suitable for all few- and many-body communities. Computational challenges related to the incorporation of three-nucleon interactions in ab initio many-body frameworks. Signatures of three-nucleon force effects in experimental observables.
