Nuclear interaction
- Marcella Grasso
Describing nuclear phenomena across a wide range of energy scales from hundreds of MeV in binding energies to fractions of an MeV for low-lying excitations—remains a long-standing challenge in nuclear physics. The ab initio method is a systematically improvable approach for quantitatively describing nuclei using the finest resolution scale possible while maximizing its predictive capabilities....
One of the most well-known methods to deal with many-body systems is the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation. In this talk we show how the application of renormalization group (RG) techniques within the HF approximation leads to the Skyrme and Gogny forces. Unlike the application of the RG to the two-body system, where we end up with two infrared fixed points that describe weakly and strongly...
