Topics
Our team is actively working on developing theories to describe static, dynamical and thermodynamical properties of correlated many-body systems with a focus on the atomic nuclei. We also constantly make the effort to explore new techniques and emerging fields.
STATIC PROPERTIES OF NUCLEI
Atomic nuclei presents a variety of phenomena probing the richness in their internal structure: below we illustrate some aspects like the onset of clusters (nucleons forming a localized entity inside the nucleus) or how nucleons cooperate to create collective effects
FeW-Body SYSTEMS
Systems having few number of particles can be treated exactly through ab-initio methods, and thus a perfect ground to understand the strong force.
NUCLEAR SHAPE AND CLUSTERING
The figure illustrate how nucleons can localize to form a cluster - (see original article)
COLLECTIVE EXCITATIONS
Our team has expertize in describing the onset of collective excitation where nucleons cooperate to form a quantized oscillation at the surface.
ENERGY DENSITY FUNCTIONALS
Bridging Energy Density Functional with EFT
Towards A Power counting in EDF
Bridging Energy Density FunctionAL with EFT
dynamical properties
AB-initio nuclear reactions
Ab-initio methods can be used to model nuclear reactions where nobody has gone before.
Fission of atomic nuclei
Example of fully microscopic description of the fission of a nucleus with the time-dependent density functional theory - (see original article)
STOCHASTIC METHODS
We are developping quantum stochastic methods to account for quantum complexity - (see the review article)
thermodynamics and astrophysics
EQUATION OF STATES
One important aspects of nuclear systems is the equation of state when the ratio of neutron to proton changes from unity (symmetric matter) to fully polarized (neutron matter) - (see original article)
HYPERON NUCLEAR CHART
Illustration of the nuclear chart when going from standard matter to hyperonic matter - (see original article)
NEUTRON STARS
The neutron matter equation of state is expected to play a key role in the formation and properties of neutron stars. The figure shows the evolution of the radius and mass of a neutron star - (see original article)
NEW EMERGING PROJECTS
Our team is constantly exploring new techniques and/or new fields.
At the moment, we have projects covering the following emerging topics:
