Abstract
We present quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the single- and two-nucleon momentum distributions in selected nuclei for . We employ local chiral interactions at next-to-next-to-leading order. We find good agreement at low momentum with the single-nucleon momentum distributions derived for phenomenological potentials. The same agreement is found for the integrated two-nucleon momentum distributions at low relative momentum and low center-of-mass momentum . We provide results for the two-nucleon momentum distributions as a function of both and . The large ratio of to pairs around for back-to-back pairs is confirmed up to , and results are compatible with those extracted from available experimental data.
