Correlated and uncorrelated Monte Carlo neutron capture rate variations in weak -process simulations
Atul Kedia, Jeffrey M. Berryman, Jonathan Cabrera Garcia +7
Reliable predictions of weak rapid neutron capture (-process) abundances require a systematic treatment of nuclear physics uncertainties, especially neutron capture rat…

Uncertainty quantification of optical models in fission fragment de-excitation
Kyle A. Beyer, Amy E. Lovell, Cole D. Pruitt +2
We take the first step towards incorporating compound nuclear observables at astrophysically relevant energies into the experimental evidence used to constrain optical models, by p…

Towards next-generation optical potentials for nuclear reactions and structure calculations
Salvatore Simone Perrotta, Cole Davis Pruitt, Oliver C. Gorton +1
Optical-model potentials (OMPs) are critical ingredients for basic and applied nuclear physics. Present-day computational capabilities allow us to generate data-driven nucleon-nucl…
