Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of magnetic form factors in light nuclei

We present Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of magnetic form factors in $A=6-10$ nuclei, based on Norfolk two- and three-nucleon interactions, and associated one- and two-body electromagnetic currents. Agreement with the available experimental data for ⁶Li, ⁷Li, ⁹Be and ¹⁰B up to values of momentum transfer q~ 3 fm⁻¹ is achieved when two-nucleon currents are accounted for. We present a set of predictions for the magnetic form factors of ⁷Be, ⁸Li, ⁹Li, and ⁹C. In these systems, two-body currents account for ~40-60% of the total magnetic strength. Measurements in any of these radioactive systems would provide valuable insights on the nuclear magnetic structure emerging from the underlying many-nucleon dynamics. A particularly interesting case is that of ⁷Be, as it would enable investigations of the magnetic structure of mirror nuclei.
