Research group description
The domain of the low-energy nuclear physics offers a rich variety of phenomena to be studied, with many of those having also a connection to astrophysics, fundamental physics, and other domains in the physics. The search for universal description of nuclear properties is the main theme and goal of the research interest in our group. In our research, we will focus on systematic features of nuclear ground states and excited states that differentiate between well- and weakly-bound nuclear system.
The nuclear density functional theory (DFT) and energy density functional (EDF) based methods offer one of the most flexible microscopical many-body frameworks to address the nuclear structure and dynamics. They can be applied to all nuclei across the nuclear chart, from the lightest to the heaviest ones, from the proton dripline to the neutron dripline, and to the nucleonic phases in compact stellar objects. Since the EDF models are universal, they offer an ideal framework for our research tasks.
Our group develops and applies DFT and EDF-based models on various tasks. This includes nuclear structure input for various tests in fundamental physics and for astrophysical processes, and for collaboration with experimental research groups, to theoretically interpret new measured experimental data.
