Parameter adjustment of nuclear leading-order local pairing energy density functionals
Michael Bender, Karim Bennaceur, Valentin Guillon
(See paper for full abstract) This study reports on the benchmarking of a protocol for the adjustment of the parameters of a local leading-order (LO) T=1 (like-particle) pairing ED…
Constraining the surface properties of effective Skyrme interactions
R. Jodon, M. Bender, K. Bennaceur +1
The purpose of this study is threefold: first, to identify a scheme for the determination of the surface energy coefficient a_surf that offers the best compromise between robustnes…
Tensor part of the Skyrme energy density functional. II: Deformation properties of magic and semi-magic nuclei
M. Bender, K. Bennaceur, T. Duguet +3
We study systematically the impact of the time-even tensor terms of the Skyrme energy density functional, i.e. terms bilinear in the spin-current tensor density, on deformation pro…
Particle-Number Restoration within the Energy Density Functional formalism: Nonviability of terms depending on noninteger powers of the density matrices
T. Duguet, M. Bender, K. Bennaceur +2
We discuss the origin of pathological behaviors that have been recently identified in particle-number-restoration calculations performed within the nuclear energy density functiona…
Configuration Mixing within the Energy Density Functional Formalism: Removing Spurious Contributions from Non-Diagonal Energy Kernels
D. Lacroix, T. Duguet, M. Bender
Multi-reference calculations along the lines of the Generator Coordinate Method or the restoration of broken symmetries within the nuclear Energy Density Functional (EDF) framework…
