Background: Nuclear density functional theory is the only microscopical theory that can be
applied throughout the entire nuclear landscape. Its key ingredient is the energy density …

Ground-state two-proton (2 p) radioactivity is a decay mode found in isotopes of elements
with even atomic numbers located beyond the two-proton drip line. So far, this exotic …

The UNEDF project was a large-scale collaborative effort that applied high-performance
computing to the nuclear quantum many-body problem. The primary focus of the project was …

Background: Neutron-skin thickness is an excellent indicator of isovector properties of
atomic nuclei. As such, it correlates strongly with observables in finite nuclei that depend on …

The parameters of the unedf2 nuclear energy density functional (EDF) model were obtained
in an optimization to experimental data consisting of nuclear binding energies, proton radii …

The ground-state properties of even–even nuclei from to are systematically studied in
covariant density functional theory with the point-coupling interaction PC-PK1. The triaxiality …

Reflection-asymmetric shapes of the atomic nucleus are relevant to nuclear stability, nuclear
spectroscopy, nuclear decays and fission, and the search for new physics beyond the …

For theoretical nuclear physics to make predictions on nuclei far from stability it is necessary
to develop a framework where meaningful calculations can be made throughout the nuclear …
