Gamow shell model (GSM) is usually performed within the Woods-Saxon (WS) basis in which the WS parameters need to be determined by fitting experimental single-particle energies including their resonance widths. In the multi-shell case, such a fit is difficult due to the lack of experimental data of cross-shell single-particle energies and widths. In this paper, we develop an ab-initio GSM by introducing the Gamow Hartree-Fock (GHF) basis that is obtained using the same interaction as the one

Hence, GSM gives a good description of weakly bound and unbound nuclei. Starting from chiral effective field theory and employing many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) (called nondegenerate Q̂-box folded-diagram renormalization) in the GHF basis, a multi-shell Hamiltonian ( sd-pf shells in this work) can be constructed. The single-particle energies and their resonance widths can also been obtained using MBPT. We investigated ^23-28O and ^23-31F isotopes, for which multi-shell calculations are necessary. Calculations show that continuum effects and the inclusion of the pf shell are important elements to understand the structure of nuclei close to and beyond driplines.
