Ab initio no-core full configuration calculations of light nuclei

We perform no-core full configuration calculations for a set of light nuclei including ¹⁶O with a realistic NN interaction, JISP16. We obtain ground-state energies and their uncertainties through exponential extrapolations that we demonstrate are reliable in ²H, ³H, and ⁴He test cases where fully converged results are obtained directly. We find that ⁶He, ⁶Li, and ⁸He are underbound by about 600 keV, 560 keV, and 1.7 MeV, respectively. ¹²C is overbound by about 1.7 MeV and ¹⁶O is overbound by about 16 MeV. The first excited 0⁺ states in ¹²C and ¹⁶O are also evaluated but their uncertainties are significantly larger than the uncertainties for the ground states.
