  • Masatoshi Takano

7 February 2025

Two extensions of the variational method with explicit energy functionals (EEFs) with respect to the spin-orbit force were performed. In this method, the energy per nucleon of nuclear matter is explicitly expressed as a functional of various two-body...

Nuclear matter is a convenient theoretical laboratory to test many-body theories. When neutron and proton densities are different, the isospin dependence of the nuclear force gives rise to the symmetry energy term in the equation of state. This quant...

Halo Nuclei from Ab Initio Nuclear Theory

  • Petr Navrátil,
  • Sofia Quaglioni,
  • Guillaume Hupin,
  • Michael Gennari and
  • Kostas Kravvaris

A realistic description of halo nuclei, characterized by low-lying breakup thresholds, requires a proper treatment of continuum effects. We have developed an ab initio approach, the No-Core Shell Model with Continuum (NCSMC), capable of describing bo...
