The iconic U: ab initio nuclear structure theory towards the limit of the periodic table
A. Scalesi, T. Duguet, V. Somà
The ab initio description of heavy and superheavy nuclei constitutes one of the holy grails of nuclear theory, bearing on the synthesis of the heaviest elements and the limits of n…
First-Principles Nuclear Modeling for Light Dark Matter Experiments at the Intensity Frontier
Taylor R. Gray, Alberto Scalesi
Accelerator-based experiments at the intensity frontier, in which a high-energy beam impinges on a nuclear target, serve as powerful probes of the light dark matter paradigm. Such…
Deformed self-consistent Green's function method for atomic nuclei at second and third order in the algebraic diagrammatic construction
A. Scalesi, T. Duguet, V. Somà
The description of atomic nuclei from first principles constitutes one of the central goals of nuclear theory. Polynomial-scaling expansion methods have extended \textit{ab initio}…
Chiral interactions and superfluidity in the calcium isotopic chain
A. Scalesi, A. Ekström, C. Forssén +1
We perform ab initio calculations of three-point mass differences in the odd- and even-mass Ca isotopes to probe nuclear superfluidity via empirical neutron pairing gaps.…
Refined topology of the N = 20 island of inversion with high precision mass measurements of Na and Mg
E. M. Lykiardopoulou, C. Walls, J. Bergmann +30
Mass measurements of Na and Mg using the TITAN MR-TOF-MS at TRIUMF's ISAC facility are presented, with the uncertainty of the Na mass reduced by over two…
Mean-field approximation on steroids: exact description of the deuteron
B. Bally, A. Scalesi, V. Somà +2
The present article demonstrates that the deuteron, i.e. the lightest bound nuclear system made of a single proton and a single neutron, can be accurately described within a mean-f…
