Skyrme pseudopotentials at next-to-next-to-leading order Construction of local densities and first symmetry-breaking calculations

Wouter Ryssens, Michael Bender

There is an ongoing quest to improve on the spectroscopic quality of nuclear energy density functionals (EDFs) of the Skyrme type through extensions of its traditional form. One di…

Future of Nuclear Fission Theory

Michael Bender, Remi Bernard, George Bertsch +30

There has been much recent interest in nuclear fission, due in part to a new appreciation of its relevance to astrophysics, stability of superheavy elements, and fundamental theory…

In-beam gamma-ray and electron spectroscopy of Md

R. Briselet, Ch. Theisen, B. Sulignano +40

The odd- Md nucleus was studied using combined -ray and conversion-electron in-beam spectroscopy. Besides the previously observed rotational band based on the $[521]1…

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…
