Applications of reduced basis methods to the nuclear single particle spectrum

Abstract

Reduced basis methods provide a powerful framework for building efficient and accurate emulators. Although widely applied in many fields to simplify complex models, reduced basis methods have only been recently introduced into nuclear physics. In this letter we build an emulator to study the single-particle structure of atomic nuclei. By scaling a suitable mean-field Hamiltonian, a "universal" reduced basis is constructed capable of accurately and efficiently reproduce the entire single-particle spectrum of a variety of nuclei. Indeed, the reduced basis model reproduces both ground- and excited-state energies as well as the associated wave-functions with remarkable accuracy. Our results bode well for more demanding applications that use Bayesian optimization to calibrate nuclear energy density functionals.
