Error Analysis in Nuclear Density Functional Theory
Nuclear density functional theory (DFT) is the only microscopic, global approach to the structure of atomic nuclei. It is used in numerous applications, from determining the limits of stability to gaining a deep understanding of the formation of elements in the universe or the mechanisms that power stars and reactors. The predictive power of the theory depends on the amount of physics embedded ...
متن کاملNuclear fission in covariant density functional theory
The current status of the application of covariant density functional theory to microscopic description of nuclear fission with main emphasis on superheavy nuclei (SHN) is reviewed. The softness of SHN in the triaxial plane leads to an emergence of several competing fission pathes in the region of the inner fission barrier in some of these nuclei. The outer fission barriers of SHN are considera...
متن کاملDensity Functional Theory: Methods and Problems
The application of density functional theory to nuclear structure is discussed, highlighting the current status of the effective action approach using effective field theory, and outlining future challenges. PACS numbers: 24.10.Cn; 71.15.Mb; 21.60.-n; 31.15.-p
متن کاملFast multiresolution methods for density functional theory in nuclear physics
We describe a fast real-analysis based O(N) algorithm based on multiresolution analysis and low separation rank approximation of functions and operators for solving the Schrödinger and Lippman-Schwinger equations in 3-D with spin-orbit potential to high precision for bound states. Each of the operators and wavefunctions has its own structure of refinement to achieve and guarantee the desired fi...
متن کاملIsospin mixing in nuclei within the nuclear density functional theory.
We present the self-consistent, nonperturbative analysis of isospin mixing using the nuclear density functional approach and the rediagonalization of the Coulomb interaction in the good-isospin basis. The unphysical isospin violation on the mean-field level, caused by the neutron excess, is eliminated by the proposed method. We find a significant dependence of the magnitude of isospin breaking ...
