Benchmarking projected generator coordinate method for nuclear Gamow-Teller transitions
R. N. Chen, X. Lian, J. M. Yao +1
In this work, we aim to achieve a minimal extension of the quantum-number projected generator coordinate method (PGCM) to describe Gamow-Teller (GT) transition strengths in even-ev…
Symmetry restoration in the axially deformed proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation for nuclear beta decay: The effect of angular-momentum projection
R. N. Chen, Y. N. Zhang, J. M. Yao +1
We examine the effects of symmetry restoration on nuclear beta decay within the axially deformed proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA). We employ the proto…
From spin to pseudospin symmetry: The origin of magic numbers in nuclear structure
C. R. Ding, C. C. Wang, J. M. Yao +3
Magic numbers lie at the heart of nuclear structure, reflecting enhanced stability in nuclei with closed shells. While the emergence of magic numbers beyond 20 is commonly attribut…
Benchmarking rotational correction energies in odd-mass nuclei
Y. Li, E. F. Zhou, J. M. Yao
Nuclear energy density functional theory (DFT) provides a microscopic approach to describing nuclear masses. By incorporating pairing correlations and deformation within DFT, nucle…
Ab initio uncertainty quantification of neutrinoless double-beta decay in Ge
A. Belley, J. M. Yao, B. Bally +9
The observation of neutrinoless double-beta () decay would offer proof of lepton number violation, demonstrating that neutrinos are Majorana particles, while also helping us…
Ab initio benchmarks of neutrinoless double beta decay in light nuclei with a chiral Hamiltonian
J. M. Yao, A. Belley, R. Wirth +5
We report ab initio benchmark calculations of nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for neutrinoless double-beta () decays in light nuclei with mass number ranging from to $A=…
