Quantifying uncertainties due to optical potentials in one-neutron knockout reactions

Chloë Hebborn, T. R. Whitehead, Amy E. Lovell +1

One-neutron knockout reactions have been widely used to extract information about the single-particle structure of nuclei from the valley of stability to the driplines. The interpr…

Microscopic nucleus-nucleus optical potentials from nuclear matter with uncertainty analysis from chiral forces

T. R. Whitehead

Nucleus-nucleus optical potentials are constructed from an energy density functional approach first outlined by Brueckner et al. The interaction term of the energy density function…

Tensor Fermi liquid parameters in nuclear matter from chiral effective field theory

J. W. Holt, N. Kaiser, T. R. Whitehead

We compute from chiral two- and three-body forces the complete quasiparticle interaction in symmetric nuclear matter up to twice nuclear matter saturation density. Second-order per…
