Energy-Resolved Spin and Parity Distributions of Fission Fragments
Petar Marević, Nicolas Schunck, Antonio Bjelčić +1
Fission fragments are born rotating rapidly, but the evolution of this spin with excitation energy and its impact on fission observables remain largely unknown. Combining state-of-…
Fission Evaluation Tools and Analytics (FETA)
N. Schunck
We present a new Python package called FETA to compute fission observables. In comparison to existing fission event modeling codes on the market, FETA is a modular, flexible, and c…
Quantum Complexity in Nuclear Scattering and Fission Dynamics
Saurabh V. Kadam, Antonio Bjelčić, Nicolas Schunck +1
Quantum computers promise advantages for simulating strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, like atomic nuclei, that are beyond the reach of classical computers. Realizing t…
Microscopic Spin-Parity Distributions of Fission Fragments
Guillaume Scamps, Petar Marević, Antonio Bjelčić +1
Recent microscopic studies have investigated various features of the spin distributions of fission fragments, but their parity distributions remain largely unexplored. In this Lett…
HFBTHO-AD: Differentiation of a nuclear energy density functional code
Laurent Hascoët, Matt Menickelly, Sri Hari Krishna Narayanan +3
The HFBTHO code implements a nuclear energy density functional solver to model the structure of atomic nuclei. HFBTHO has previously been used to calibrate energy functionals and p…
Quantifying uncertainty in machine learning on nuclear binding energy
Mengyao Huang, Kyle A. Wendt, Nicolas F. Schunck +1
Techniques from artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly employed in nuclear theory, however, the uncertainties that arise from the complex parameter manifold…
Computing the QRPA Level Density with the Finite Amplitude Method
Antonio Bjelčić, Nicolas Schunck
We describe a new algorithm to calculate the vibrational nuclear level density of an atomic nucleus. Fictitious perturbation operators that probe the response of the system are gen…
Density Functional Theory Approach to Nuclear Fission
N. Schunck
The Skyrme nuclear energy density functional theory (DFT) is used to model neutron-induced fission in actinides. This paper focuses on the numerical implementation of the theory. I…
Tensor hypercontraction: A universal technique for the resolution of matrix elements of local, finite-range -body potentials in many-body quantum problems
Robert M. Parrish, Edward G. Hohenstein, Nicolas F. Schunck +2
Configuration-space matrix elements of N-body potentials arise naturally and ubiquitously in the Ritz-Galerkin solution of many-body quantum problems. For the common specialization…
