Self-consistent tilted-axis-cranking study of triaxial strongly deformed bands in Er at ultrahigh spin

Yue Shi, J. Dobaczewski, S. Frauendorf +4

Stimulated by recent experimental discoveries, triaxial strongly deformed (TSD) states in Er at ultrahigh spins have been studied by means of the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model…

Fission properties for r-process nuclei

J. Erler, K. Langanke, H. P. Loens +2

We present a systematics of fission barriers and fission lifetimes for the whole landscape of super-heavy elements (SHE), i.e. nuclei with Z>100. The fission lifetimes are also com…

Nuclear energy density optimization: Large deformations

M. Kortelainen, J. McDonnell, W. Nazarewicz +5

A new Skyrme-like energy density suitable for studies of strongly elongated nuclei has been determined in the framework of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory using the recently dev…

Occupation number-based energy functional for nuclear masses

M. Bertolli, T. Papenbrock, S. Wild

We develop an energy functional with shell-model occupations as the relevant degrees of freedom and compute nuclear masses across the nuclear chart. The functional is based on Hohe…

Ab-initio approach to effective single-particle energies in doubly closed shell nuclei

T. Duguet, G. Hagen

The present work discusses, from an ab-initio standpoint, the definition, the meaning, and the usefulness of effective single-particle energies (ESPEs) in doubly closed shell nucle…

Charge radii and neutron correlations in helium halo nuclei

G. Papadimitriou, A. T. Kruppa, N. Michel +3

Within the complex-energy configuration interaction framework, we study correlations of valence neutrons to explain the behavior of charge radii in the neutron halo nuclei …

Chiral three-nucleon forces and bound excited states in neutron-rich oxygen isotopes

J. D. Holt, J. Menendez, A. Schwenk

We study the spectra of neutron-rich oxygen isotopes based on chiral two- and three-nucleon interactions. First, we benchmark our many-body approach by comparing ground-state energ…

Multipole strength function of deformed superfluid nuclei made easy

M. Stoitsov, M. Kortelainen, T. Nakatsukasa +2

We present an efficient method for calculating strength functions using the finite amplitude method (FAM) for deformed superfluid heavy nuclei within the framework of the nuclear d…

Quasi-particle continuum and resonances in the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory

J. C. Pei, A. T. Kruppa, W. Nazarewicz

The quasi-particle energy spectrum of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations contains discrete bound states, resonances, and non-resonant continuum states. We study the struct…

Testing the density matrix expansion against ab initio calculations of trapped neutron drops

S. K. Bogner, R. J. Furnstahl, H. Hergert +4

Microscopic input to a universal nuclear energy density functional can be provided through the density matrix expansion (DME), which has recently been revived and improved. Several…

Chiral three-nucleon forces and pairing in nuclei

Thomas Lesinski, Kai Hebeler, Thomas Duguet +1

We present the first study of pairing in nuclei including three-nucleon forces. We perform systematic calculations of the odd-even mass staggering generated using a microscopic pai…

Solution of the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov equations in the Cartesian deformed harmonic-oscillator basis. (VII) HFODD (v2.49t): a new version of the program

N. Schunck, J. Dobaczewski, J. McDonnell +5

We describe the new version (v2.49t) of the code HFODD which solves the nuclear Skyrme Hartree-Fock (HF) or Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov (HFB) problem by using the Cartesian defo…

Ab initio coupled-cluster theory for open-shell nuclei

G. R. Jansen, M. Hjorth-Jensen, G. Hagen +1

We develop a new method to describe properties of truly open-shell nuclei. This method is based on single-reference coupled-cluster theory and the equation-of-motion method with ex…
