Nuclear structure
- Marta Anguiano
Nuclear shell model (NSM) and variational mean-field approximations and their beyond-mean-field extensions are the two main workhorses in the calculation of nuclear structure observables. In the last few years, thanks to the availability of methods like Monte Carlo Shell Model (MCSM) or the projected generator coordinate method (PGCM) and its multiple variants, NSM individual states can be...
In the spirit of the present conference, one should recall that Daniel Gogny, in his seminal paper where the force that bears his name was introduced, said that one should leave room for the evaluation of the “correction … due to the quasiparticle-vibrational coupling”. The accuracy that one can reach through theoretical calculations of single-particle (or quasi-particle) energies has been the...
How collective modes emerge in nuclei, especially in cases where the effects of proximity to the particle continuum are large, remains one of the core problems in nuclear theory. Furthermore, such collective modes have a profound effect on reactions that occur in stellar interiors and nuclear technology applications. Thus, a good description of astrophysical reaction rates needs to properly...
