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 …

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 …

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 mass of the nucleus, through its binding energy, continues to be of capital importance
not only for various aspects of nuclear physics, but also for other branches of physics …

Nuclear matter and finite nuclei exhibit the property of superfluidity by forming Cooper pairs.
We review the microscopic theories and methods that are being employed to understand the …

Nuclear Superfluidity is a monograph devoted exclusively to pair correlations in nuclei. It
begins by exploring pair correlations in a variety of systems including superconductivity in …

Large-scale QRPA calculations of the E1-strength are performed on top of HFB calculations
in order to derive the radiative neutron capture cross sections for the whole nuclear chart …

Although ab initio calculations of relativistic Brueckner theory lead to large scalar isovector
fields in nuclear matter, at present, successful versions of covariant density functional theory …

We present a new Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov nuclear mass model based on standard forms
of Skyrme and pairing functionals, which corresponds to the most accurate mass model we …

The spatial structure of the neutron Cooper pair in superfluid low-density uniform matter is
analyzed by means of BCS calculations employing a bare force and the effective Gogny …
