Shape staggering of mid-shell mercury isotopes from in-source laser spectroscopy compared with Density Functional Theory and Monte Carlo Shell Model calculations
S. Sels, T. Day Goodacre, B. A. Marsh +45
Neutron-deficient Hg isotopes were studied using in-source laser resonance-ionization spectroscopy at the CERN-ISOLDE radioactive ion-beam facility, in an experiment co…
Iterative approaches to the self-consistent nuclear energy density functional problem. Heavy ball dynamics and potential preconditioning
W. Ryssens, M. Bender, P. -H. Heenen
Large-scale applications of energy density functional (EDF) methods depend on fast and reliable algorithms to solve the associated non-linear self-consistency problem. When dealing…
The impact of the surface energy coefficient on the deformation properties of atomic nuclei as predicted by Skyrme energy density functionals
W. Ryssens, M. Bender, K. Bennaceur +2
In the framework of nuclear energy density functional (EDF) methods, many nuclear phenomena are related to the deformation of intrinsic states. Their accurate modeling relies on th…
Towards symmetry-unrestricted Skyrme-HFB in coordinate-space representation: the example of rotational bands of the octupole-deformed nucleus Th
W. Ryssens, M. Bender and. P. -H. Heenen
We report on cranked Skyrme-HFB calculations of rotational bands of the octupole-deformed nucleus Th. A sudden change in configuration is observed, with the shape of the yr…
Numerical accuracy of mean-field calculations in coordinate space
W. Ryssens, P. -H. Heenen, M. Bender
Background: Mean-field methods based on an energy density functional (EDF) are powerful tools used to describe many properties of nuclei in the entirety of the nuclear chart. The a…
Beyond mean-field study of elastic and inelastic electron scattering off nuclei
J. M. Yao, M. Bender, P. -H. Heenen
Electron scattering provides a powerful tool to determine charge distributions and transition densities of nuclei. This tool will soon be available for short-lived neutron-rich nuc…
