Nuclear energy density optimization: Shell structure
M. Kortelainen, J. McDonnell, W. Nazarewicz +8
Nuclear density functional theory is the only microscopical theory that can be applied throughout the entire nuclear landscape. Its key ingredient is the energy density functional.…
Neutron skin uncertainties of Skyrme energy density functionals
M. Kortelainen, J. Erler, W. Nazarewicz +3
Background: Neutron-skin thickness is an excellent indicator of isovector properties of atomic nuclei. As such, it correlates strongly with observables in finite nuclei that depend…
Low energy collective modes of deformed superfluid nuclei within the finite amplitude method
Nobuo Hinohara, Markus Kortelainen, Witold Nazarewicz
Background: The major challenge for nuclear theory is to describe and predict global properties and collective modes of atomic nuclei. Of particular interest is the response of the…
Computational Nuclear Quantum Many-Body Problem: The UNEDF Project
Scott Bogner, Aurel Bulgac, Joseph A. Carlson +28
The UNEDF project was a large-scale collaborative effort that applied high-performance computing to the nuclear quantum many-body problem. UNEDF demonstrated that close association…
Propagation of uncertainties in the Skyrme energy-density-functional model
Y. Gao, J. Dobaczewski, M. Kortelainen +2
Parameters of nuclear energy-density-functionals (EDFs) are always derived by an optimization to experimental data. For the minima of appropriately defined penalty functions, a sta…
