Non-observability of Spectroscopic Factors
B. K. Jennings
The spectroscopic factor has long played a central role in nuclear reaction theory. However, it is not an observable. Consequently it is of minimal use as a meeting point between t…
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…
Existence of a Density Functional for an Intrinsic State
B. G. Giraud, B. K. Jennings, B. R. Barrett
A generalization of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem proves the existence of a density functional for an intrinsic state, symmetry violating, out of which a physical state with good quan…
Comment on "Influence of protons on the capture of electrons by 7Be in the Sun"
B. Davids, A. Gruzinov, B. K. Jennings
This paper suffers from conceptual difficulties and unjustified approximations that render its conclusions dubious.
Modern topics in theoretical nuclear physics
B. K. Jennings, A. Schwenk
Over the past five years there have been profound advances in nuclear physics based on effective field theory and the renormalization group. In this brief, we summarize these advan…
The Shell Model, the Renormalization Group and the Two-Body Interaction
B. K. Jennings
The no-core shell model and the effective interaction can both be derived using the Lee-Suzuki projection operator formalism. The main difference between the two…
