Shape staggering of mid-shell mercury isotopes from in-source laser spectroscopy compared with Density Functional Theory and Monte Carlo Shell Model calculations
S. Sels, T. Day Goodacre, B. A. Marsh +45
Neutron-deficient Hg isotopes were studied using in-source laser resonance-ionization spectroscopy at the CERN-ISOLDE radioactive ion-beam facility, in an experiment co…
Towards symmetry-unrestricted Skyrme-HFB in coordinate-space representation: the example of rotational bands of the octupole-deformed nucleus Th
W. Ryssens, M. Bender and. P. -H. Heenen
We report on cranked Skyrme-HFB calculations of rotational bands of the octupole-deformed nucleus Th. A sudden change in configuration is observed, with the shape of the yr…
Numerical accuracy of mean-field calculations in coordinate space
W. Ryssens, P. -H. Heenen, M. Bender
Background: Mean-field methods based on an energy density functional (EDF) are powerful tools used to describe many properties of nuclei in the entirety of the nuclear chart. The a…
Spurious finite-size instabilities in nuclear energy density functionals: spin channel
A. Pastore, D. Tarpanov, D. Davesne +1
It has been recently shown, that some Skyrme functionals can lead to non-converging results in the calculation of some properties of atomic nuclei. A previous study has pointed out…
Ab initio-driven nuclear energy density functional method. A proposal for safe/correlated/improvable parametrizations of the off-diagonal EDF kernels
T. Duguet, M. Bender, J. -P. Ebran +2
This programmatic paper lays down the possibility to reconcile the necessity to resum many-body correlations into the energy kernel with the fact that safe multi-reference energy d…
Beyond mean-field study of elastic and inelastic electron scattering off nuclei
J. M. Yao, M. Bender, P. -H. Heenen
Electron scattering provides a powerful tool to determine charge distributions and transition densities of nuclei. This tool will soon be available for short-lived neutron-rich nuc…
