Neutron star matter equation of state including -hexaquark degrees of freedom
A. Mantziris, A. Pastore, I. Vidaña +3
We present an extension of a previous work where, assuming a simple free bosonic gas supplemented with a relativistic meand field model to describe the pure nucleonic part of the E…
Impact of statistical uncertainties on the composition of the outer crust of a neutron star
A. Pastore, D. Neill, H. Powell +2
By means of Monte Carlo methods, we perform a full error analysis on the Duflo-Zucker mass model. In particular, we study the presence of correlations in the residuals to obtain a…
Finite-range separable pairing interaction in Cartesian coordinates
A. M. Romero, J. Dobaczewski, A. Pastore
Within a simple SO(8) algebraic model, the coexistence between isoscalar and isovector pairing modes can be successfully described using a mean-field method plus restoration of bro…
Electromagnetic properties of the hexaquark
M. Bashkanov, D. P. Watts, A. Pastore
Experiments with intense photon and electron beams have the potential to provide access to nontrivial properties of the recently discovered hexaquark including its size…
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…
Symmetry restoration in the mean-field description of proton-neutron pairing
A. M. Romero, J. Dobaczewski, A. Pastore
We show that the symmetry-restored paired mean-field states (quasiparticle vacua) properly account for isoscalar versus isovector nuclear pairing properties. Full particle-number,…
A teaching guide of nuclear physics: the concept of bond
Simone Baroni, Alessandro Pastore
We propose discussions and hands-on activities for GCSE and A-level students, covering a fundamental aspect of nuclear physics: the concept of bond and the energy released (absorbe…
Bootstrap technique to study correlation between neutron skin thickness and the slope of symmetry energy in atomic nuclei
D. Muir, A. Pastore, J. Dobaczewski +1
We present a new statistical tool based on random sampling to assess the confidence interval of Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients. These estimators are then used to…
Neutron-proton pairing correlations in a single shell model
A. Márquez Romero, J. Dobaczewski, A. Pastore
The long standing problem of neutron-proton pairing correlations is revisited by employing the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov formalism with neutron-proton mixing in both the particle-hol…
The in neutron stars - a new degree of freedom?
I. Vidaña, M. Bashkanov, D. P. Watts +1
Elucidating the appropriate microscopic degrees of freedom within neutron stars remains an open question which impacts nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics. The recen…
Infinite matter properties and zero-range limit of nonrelativistic finite-range interactions
D. Davesne, P. Becker, A. Pastore +1
We discuss some infinite matter properties of two finite-range interactions widely used for nuclear structure calculations, namely Gogny and M3Y interactions. We show that some use…
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…
Linear response theory and neutrino mean free path using Brussels-Montreal Skyrme functionals
A. Pastore, M. Martini, D. Davesne +3
The Brussels-Montreal Skyrme functionals have been successful to describe properties of both finite nuclei and infinite homogeneous nuclear matter. In their latest version, these f…
Spurious finite-size instabilities in nuclear energy density functionals
V. Hellemans, A. Pastore, T. Duguet +5
It is known that some well-established parametrizations of the EDF do not always provide converged results for nuclei and a qualitative link between this finding and the appearance…
Fitting Skyrme functionals using linear response theory
A. Pastore, D. Davesne, K. Bennaceur +2
Recently, it has been recently shown that the linear response theory in symmetric nuclear matter can be used as a tool to detect finite size instabilities for different Skyrme func…
Nuclear response for the Skyrme effective interaction with zero-range tensor terms. III. Neutron matter and neutrino propagation
A. Pastore, M. Martini, V. Buridon +3
The formalism of the linear response for the Skyrme energy density functional including tensor terms derived in articles [1,2] for nuclear matter is applied here to the case of pur…
Linear response in infinite nuclear matter as a tool to reveal finite size instabilities
A. Pastore, K. Bennaceur, D. Davesne +1
Nuclear effective interactions are often modelled by simple analytical expressions such as the Skyrme zero-range force. This effective interaction depends on a limited number of pa…
