Theory of nuclear fission

N Schunck, D Regnier - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2022 - Elsevier
Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by
strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes …

Microscopic theory of nuclear fission: a review

N Schunck, LM Robledo - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
This article reviews how nuclear fission is described within nuclear density functional theory.
A distinction should be made between spontaneous fission, where half-lives are the main …

Nuclear ground-state masses and deformations: FRDM (2012)

P Möller, AJ Sierk, T Ichikawa, H Sagawa - Atomic Data and Nuclear Data …, 2016 - Elsevier

New finite-range droplet mass model and equation-of-state parameters

P Möller, WD Myers, H Sagawa, S Yoshida - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
The parameters in the macroscopic droplet part of the finite-range droplet model (FRDM) are
related to the properties of the equation of state. In the FRDM (1992) version, the …

Heavy-element fission barriers

P Möller, AJ Sierk, T Ichikawa, A Iwamoto… - Physical Review C …, 2009 - APS
We present calculations of fission properties for heavy elements. The calculations are based
on the macroscopic-microscopic finite-range liquid-drop model with a 2002 parameter set …

Charge radii of exotic neon and magnesium isotopes

SJ Novario, G Hagen, GR Jansen, T Papenbrock - Physical Review C, 2020 - APS
We compute the charge radii and ground-state energies of even-mass neon and
magnesium isotopes from neutron number N= 8 to the dripline. Our calculations are based …

Triaxial angular momentum projection and configuration mixing calculations with the Gogny force

TR Rodríguez, JL Egido - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2010 - APS

with full triaxial angular momentum and particle number projected wave functions using the …

Configuration mixing of angular-momentum and particle-number projected triaxial Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov states using the Skyrme energy density functional

M Bender, PH Heenen - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2008 - APS
We present a method based on mean-field states generated by triaxial quadrupole
constraints that are projected on particle number and angular momentum and mixed by the …

One-quasiparticle states in the nuclear energy density functional theory
