The r-process, or the rapid neutron-capture process, of stellar nucleosynthesis is called for to
explain the production of the stable (and some long-lived radioactive) neutron-rich nuclides …

We review recent studies of the evolution of collective excitations in atomic nuclei far from
the valley of β-stability. Collective degrees of freedom govern essential aspects of nuclear …

Nowadays, the Gogny force is a referent in the theoretical description of nuclear structure
phenomena. Its phenomenological character manifests in a simple analytical form that …

The compression-mode giant resonances, namely the isoscalar giant monopole and
isoscalar giant dipole modes, are examples of collective nuclear motion. Their main interest …

We perform a systematic study of the impact of the J 2 tensor term in the Skyrme energy
functional on properties of spherical nuclei. In the Skyrme energy functional, the tensor terms …

Accurate assessment of the value of the incompressibility coefficient, K, of symmetric nuclear
matter, which is directly related to the curvature of the equation of state (EOS), is needed to …

Nuclear reaction cross sections are important for a variety of applications in the areas of
astrophysics, nuclear energy, and national security. When these cross sections cannot be …

We use the axially deformed Skyrme quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA)
together with the SkM* energy-density functional, both as originally presented and with the …

We review the progress in atomic structure theory with a focus on superheavy elements and
their predicted ground state configurations important for an element's placement in the …

We propose a practical method for solving the random-phase approximation (RPA) in the
self-consistent Hartree-Fock (HF) and density-functional theory. The method is based on …
