Session 14: Nuclear structure with density functional and shell-model approaches
- Gianluca Colo (University of Milan, Italy)
Despite the steady and remarkable progress in $\it{ ab initio}$ approaches to nuclear structure, Density Functional Theory remains a tool of broader applicability. It makes sense to derive an Energy Density Functional (EDF) from an underlying ab initio method: this is the topic addressed by a few contributions to the conference. At the same time, it is worth attempting other routes for...
Ground-state electromagnetic moments are known in hundreds of odd and odd-odd nuclei. Very often, they have been measured by atomic spectroscopic methods up to very high precision. In nuclear DFT approaches, these essential observables have been rarely considered so far. At the same time, time-odd properties of nuclear density functionals, which crucially influence magnetic moments, are poorly...
The accuracy of an energy density functional determines the accuracy of the density functional calculation. Thus, it is highly motivated to improve the accuracy of an EDF.
Then, a question arises: Can we improve an EDF if we know the "exact" density?
To answer this question, recently, we proposed a method named "IKS-DFPT" to improve the known EDF using a combination of the inverse Kohn-Sham...
