Scalar Nature of the Nuclear Density Functional
B. G. Giraud
Because of the rotational invariance of the nuclear Hamiltonian, there exists a density functional for nuclei that depends only on two scalar densities. Practical calculations boil…
Bounds to binding energies from the concavity of thermodynamical functions
B. K. Jennings, B. R. Barrett, B. G. Giraud
Sequences of experimental ground-state energies are mapped onto concave patterns cured from convexities due to pairing and/or shell effects. The same patterns, completed by a list…
Laboratory Density Functionals
B. G. Giraud
We compare several definitions of the density of a self-bound system, such as a nucleus, in relation with its center-of-mass zero-point motion. A trivial deconvolution relates the…
Retrieving Nuclear Information from Protons Propagating through A Thick Target
B. G. Giraud, Lon-chang Liu
The multiple scattering of high-energy particles in a thick target is fromulated in an impact parameter representation. A formalism similar but not identical to that of Moliere is…
Symmetric Density Functionals
B. G. Giraud
Variations in distinct restricted spaces of wave functions generate distinct density functionals. In particular, angular momentum projected Slater determinants define a new density…
Time reversal and parity breaking by propagation
H. Jünemann, A. Weiguny, B. G. Giraud
The time independent mean field method (TIMF) for the calculation of matrix elements of non relativistic propagators is based on a variational principle whose non linearity induces…
