Microscopic mechanism of the Fayans pairing for the enhancement of charge radii
Tomoya Naito, Gianluca Colò, Xavier Roca-Maza +2
The Fayans energy density functional (EDF), and in particular its pairing sector, have been claimed to be able to reproduce the experimental data of charge radii in many instances.…
Emulator-Assisted Nuclear DFT Inference and Its Consequences for the Structure of Neutron Stars
Pietro Klausner, Marco Antonelli, Gianluca Colò +3
Nuclear density functional theory provides a unified description of finite nuclei and bulk nuclear matter, and is widely used to model the neutron star equation of state. However,…
Impact of ground-state properties and collective excitations on the Skyrme ansatz: a Bayesian study
Pietro Klausner, Gianluca Colò, Xavier Roca-Maza +1
State-of-the-art models based on nuclear Density Functional Theory are successful in the description of nuclei throughout the whole nuclear chart. Among them, some differences aris…
Synthesis of superheavy elements in the outer crust of a magnetar
Davide Basilico, Xavier Roca-Maza, Gianluca Colò
A theoretical understanding of a possible mechanism for synthesizing superheavy elements in the outer crust of magnetars is presented. We demonstrate that such a mechanism can be p…
QCD sum rule approach to Okamoto-Nolen-Schiffer anomaly
Hiroyuki Sagawa, Tomoya Naito, Xavier Roca-Maza +1
A new framework is introduced to connect between a charge symmetry breaking (CSB) energy density functional (EDF) and the low-energy constants derived from quantum chromodynamics (…
Electric dipole polarizability of Ni
I. Brandherm, F. Bonaiti, P. von Neumann-Cosel +10
The electric dipole strength distribution in Ni between 6 and 20 MeV has been determined from proton inelastic scattering experiments at very forward angles at RCNP, Osaka.…
