Theoretical Nuclear Physics Team
(Phynet Team - IJCLab - Pole Nucléaire)
In brief
The PhyNet team (nuclear and theoretical physics in French) was created in January 2020 in the new Laboratoire de physique des 2 Infinis: Irène-Joliot Curie (IJClab) located on the Paris-Saclay campus. We are working on theoretical methods for treating strongly interacting systems with a focus on nuclear many-body problem. Our expertise covers
Nuclear Structure, properties of nuclei (Few-body systems, ab-initio methods, density functional theory, collective excitations)
Description of nuclear reactions, (Ab-initio methods, time-dependent density functional theory, quantum stochastic approaches)
Impact of nuclear physics in astrophysics, (equation of state, multi-messenger)
with strong interdisciplinary connections to others fields (e.g. atomic physics, condensed matter and quantum chemistry).
We are currently engaging in the development of emergent techniques and/or new topics:
Neutrinoless double-beta decay to probe beyond standard model physics
Machine Learning applied to nuclear physics
Quantum Computing
