Smoothing of one- and two-dimensional discontinuities in potential energy surfaces
N. -W. T. Lau, R. N. Bernard, C. Simenel
Background: The generation of potential energy surfaces is a critical step in theoretical models aiming to understand and predict nuclear fission. Discontinuities frequently arise…
Future of Nuclear Fission Theory
Michael Bender, Remi Bernard, George Bertsch +30
There has been much recent interest in nuclear fission, due in part to a new appreciation of its relevance to astrophysics, stability of superheavy elements, and fundamental theory…
Description of the asymmetric to symmetric fission transition in the neutron-deficient Thoriums -- Role of the tensor force
Remi Bernard, Nathalie Pillet, Luis Robledo +1
In the present study, we have investigated the impact of the tensor force on fission paths, in particular the symmetric and asymmetric barriers in 230 Th, 226 Th, 222 Th and 216 Th…
Neutron gas and pairing
M. Anguiano, A. M. Lallena, R. Bernard +1
We study the emergence of neutron gas effects in the description of nuclei with large neutron excess within the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approach. We consider Ni and Sn isotopes w…
Asymmetry dependence of Gogny based optical potential
G. Blanchon, M. Dupuis, R. N. Bernard +1
An analysis of neutron and proton scattering off Ca has been carried out. Real and imaginary potentials have been generated using the Nuclear Structure Method (NSM) for s…
Interplay between tensor force and deformation in even-even nuclei
Rémi N. Bernard, Marta Anguiano
In this work we study the effect of the nuclear tensor force on properties related with deformation. We focus on isotopes in the Mg, Si, S, Ar, Sr and Zr chains within the Hartree-…
