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…
Deformed natural orbitals for ab initio calculations
Alberto Scalesi, Thomas Duguet, Mikael Frosini +1
The rapid development of ab initio nuclear structure methods towards doubly open-shell nuclei, heavy nuclei and greater accuracy occurs at the price of evermore increased computati…
Impact of correlations on nuclear binding energies
Alberto Scalesi, Thomas Duguet, Pepijn Demol +3
A strong effort will be dedicated in the coming years to extend the reach of ab initio nuclear-structure calculations to heavy doubly open-shell nuclei. In order to do so, the most…
