Magnetic dipole -ray strength functions in the crossover from spherical to deformed neodymium isotopes
A. Mercenne, P. Fanto, W. Ryssens +1
We calculate the magnetic dipole -ray strength functions in a chain of even-mass neodymium isotopes Nd in the framework of the configuration-interaction (CI) shell m…
Magnetic dipole -ray strength functions of heavy nuclei in the configuration-interaction shell model
Y. Alhassid, P. Fanto, A. Mercenne
A low-energy enhancement (LEE) has been observed in the deexcitation -ray strength function (SF) of compound nuclei. The LEE has been a subject of intense experimental and th…
Circumventing the odd particle-number sign problem in the shell model Monte Carlo
Y. Alhassid, P. Fanto, C. Özen
The shell model Monte Carlo (SMMC) method is a powerful method for calculating exactly (up to statistical errors) thermal observables and statistical properties of atomic nuclei. H…
Low-energy enhancement in the magnetic dipole -ray strength functions of heavy nuclei
P. Fanto, Y. Alhassid
A low-energy enhancement (LEE), observed experimentally in the -ray strength function (SF) describing the decay of compound nuclei, would have profound effects on -process…
State densities of heavy nuclei in the static-path plus random-phase approximation
P. Fanto, Y. Alhassid
Nuclear state densities are important inputs to statistical models of compound-nucleus reactions. State densities are often calculated with self-consistent mean-field approximation…
Derivation of K-matrix reaction theory in a discrete basis formalism
Y. Alhassid, G. F. Bertsch, P. Fanto
The usual derivations of the S and K matrices for two-particle reactions proceed through the Lippmann-Schwinger equation with formal definitions of the incoming and outgoing scatte…
Statistical-model description of decay from compound-nucleus resonances
P. Fanto, Y. Alhassid, H. A. Weidenmüller
The statistical model of compound-nucleus reactions predicts that the fluctuations of the partial -decay widths for a compound-nucleus resonance are governed by the Porter-Thoma…
Transmission coefficients in compound-nucleus reaction theory
Y. Alhassid, G. F. Bertsch, P. Fanto +1
A recent article (D.A. Brown, et al., Phys. Rev. C98 024616 (2018)) rproposed a modification of the cross section formula used in practical calculations of compound nucleus reactio…
Neutron width statistics using a realistic description of the neutron channel
P. Fanto, G. F. Bertsch, Y. Alhassid
A basic prediction of the statistical model of compound nucleus reactions is that the partial widths for decay into any open channel channel fluctuate according to the Porter-Thoma…
The Statistical Model of Nuclear Reactions: Open Problems
P. Fanto, Y. Alhassid, H. A. Weidenmüller
Several experiments [1-3] show significant deviations from predictions of the statistical model of nuclear reactions. We summarize unsuccessful recent theoretical efforts to accoun…
Neutron width statistics in a realistic resonance-reaction model
P. Fanto, G. F. Bertsch, Y. Alhassid
A recent experiment on s-wave neutron scattering from Pt found that the reduced neutron width distributions deviate significantly from the expected Porter-Thomas di…
Projection after variation in the finite-temperature Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation
P. Fanto
The finite-temperature Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approximation often breaks symmetries of the underlying many-body Hamiltonian. Restricting the calculation of the HFB partition…
Particle-number projection in the finite-temperature mean-field approximation
P. Fanto, Y. Alhassid, G. F. Bertsch
Calculation of statistical properties of nuclei in a finite-temperature mean-field theory requires projection onto good particle number, since the theory is formulated in the grand…
