Ab Initio Study of Li with Coupled Mass Partitions
Jakub Herko, Konstantinos Kravvaris, Petr Navrátil +4
Background: Lithium is of broad interest in nuclear astrophysics, fusion energy research, and nuclear technology. From a theoretical perspective, the nucleus Li presents a rema…
From credible shell model interactions to neutron-capture uncertainties
Oliver Gorton, Konstantinos Kravvaris
Nuclear structure theory can provide nuclear astrophysics and nuclear technologies with bound state properties and transition rates. When describing nuclear reactions, the list can…
Radiative strength functions from the energy-localized Brink-Axel hypothesis
Oliver C. Gorton, Konstantinos Kravvaris, Jutta E. Escher +1
Radiative strength functions (RSFs) model the bulk electromagnetic response of highly-excited nuclei and are critical inputs for statistical reaction codes. In this paper, we prese…
Solar fusion III: New data and theory for hydrogen-burning stars
B. Acharya, M. Aliotta, A. B. Balantekin +47
In stars that lie on the main sequence in the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram, like our sun, hydrogen is fused to helium in a number of nuclear reaction chains and series, such as the p…
Towards shell model interactions with credible uncertainties
Oliver C. Gorton, Konstantinos Kravvaris
Background: The nuclear shell model is a powerful framework for predicting nuclear structure observables, but relies on interaction matrix elements fit to experimental data as its…
