The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …

Relativistic energy density functionals (EDF) have become a standard tool for nuclear
structure calculations, providing a complete and accurate, global description of nuclear …

A new parametrization PC-PK1 for the nuclear covariant energy density functional with
nonlinear point-coupling interaction is proposed by fitting to observables of 60 selected …

We study a particular class of relativistic nuclear energy density functionals in which only
nucleon degrees of freedom are explicitly used in the construction of effective interaction …

Various kinds of isovector nucleon effective masses are used in the literature to characterize
the momentum/energy dependence of the nucleon symmetry potential or self-energy due to …

Covariant density functional theory is a modern theoretical tool for the description of nuclear
structure phenomena. The current investigation aims at the global assessment of the …

Abstract Properties of nuclei in hot stellar environments such as supernovae or neutron star
mergers are largely unexplored. Since it is poorly understood how many protons and …

A systematic global investigation of differential charge radii has been performed within the
CDFT framework for the first time. Theoretical results obtained with conventional covariant …

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 …

The basic concepts and recent developments in the time-dependent density-functional
theory (TDDFT) for describing nuclear dynamics at low energy are presented. The symmetry …
