Scientific paper

We summarize our recent efforts to develop the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) method into a practical truncation strategy for large-scale nuclear shell model calculations. Following an overview of the essential features of the DMRG, we discuss the changes we have implemented for its use in nuclei. In particular, we have found it useful to develop an angular-momentum conserving variant of the method (the JDMRG). We then summarize the principal results we have obtained to date, first reporting test results for $^{48}$Cr and then more recent test results for $^{56}$Ni. In both cases we consider nucleons limited to the 2p-1f shell. While both calculations produce a high level of agreement with the exact shell model results, the fraction of the complete space required to achieve this high level of agreement is found to go down rapidly as the size of the full space grows.
