Energy density functional for nuclei and neutron stars
J. Erler, C. J. Horowitz, W. Nazarewicz +2
We aim to develop a nuclear energy density functional that can be simultaneously applied to finite nuclei and neutron stars. We use the self-consistent nuclear density functional t…
Microscopic calculations of isospin-breaking corrections to superallowed beta-decay
W. Satula, J. Dobaczewski, W. Nazarewicz +1
The superallowed beta-decay rates that provide stringent constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics are affected by nuclear structure effects through isos…
Isospin mixing in the vicinity of the N=Z line
W. Satula, J. Dobaczewski, W. Nazarewicz +2
We present the isospin- and angular-momentum-projected nuclear density functional theory (DFT) and its applications to the isospin-breaking corrections to the superallowed beta-dec…
Isospin mixing in nuclei around N=Z and the superallowed beta-decay
W. Satula, J. Dobaczewski, W. Nazarewicz +1
Theoretical approaches that use one-body densities as dynamical variables, such as Hartree-Fock or the density functional theory (DFT), break isospin symmetry both explicitly, by v…
Isospin-symmetry restoration within the nuclear density functional theory: formalism and applications
W. Satula, J. Dobaczewski, W. Nazarewicz +1
Isospin symmetry of atomic nuclei is explicitly broken by the charge-dependent interactions, primarily the Coulomb force. Within the nuclear density functional theory, isospin is a…
Global nuclear structure effects of tensor interaction
M. Zalewski, P. Olbratowski, M. Rafalski +3
A direct fit of the isoscalar spin-orbit (SO) and both isoscalar and isovector tensor coupling constants to the f5/2-f7/2 SO splittings in 40Ca, 56Ni, and 48Ca nuclei requires a dr…
Isospin mixing in nuclei within the nuclear density functional theory
W. Satula, J. Dobaczewski, W. Nazarewicz +1
We present the self-consistent, non-perturbative analysis of isospin mixing using the nuclear density functional approach and the rediagonalization of the Coulomb interaction in th…
Shell-structure fingerprints of tensor interaction
M. Zalewski, W. Satula, J. Dobaczewski +4
We address consequences of strong tensor and weak spin-orbit terms in the local energy density functional, resulting from fits to the splittings in Ca, $…
Isospin mixing of isospin-projected Slater determinants: formalism and preliminary applications
M. Rafalski, W. Satula, J. Dobaczewski
We report on the development of a new theoretical tool that allows for isospin projection of Slater determinants and we present its first applications. In particular, we determine…
Global nuclear structure aspects of tensor interaction
W. Satula, M. Zalewski, J. Dobaczewski +4
A direct fit of the isoscalar spin-orbit and both isoscalar and isovector tensor coupling constants to the f5/2-f7/2 SO splittings in 40Ca, 56Ni, and 48Ca requires: (i) a significa…
Mass number dependence of the Skyrme-force-induced nuclear symmetry energy
M. Rafalski, W. Satula, R. Wyss
The global mass dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy and its two basic ingredients due to the mean-level spacing and effective strength of the isovector mean-potential is stud…
Global properties of the Skyrme-force-induced nuclear symmetry energy
Wojciech Satula, Ramon A. Wyss, Michal Rafalski
Large scale calculations are performed to establish the global mass dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy, , which in turn depends on two basic ingredients: the mea…
