In the past 20 years, energy density functional (EDF) approaches have become a powerful framework to study the structure and reactions of atomic nuclei. This book provides an updated presentation of non-relativistic and covariant energy functionals, single- and multi-reference methods, and techniques to describe small- and large-amplitude collective motion or nuclei at high excitation energy. Detailed derivations, practical approaches, examples and figures are used throughout the book to give a coherent narrative of topics that have hitherto rarely been covered together.

Yazar hakkında
Nicolas Schunck received his Ph D in theoretical nuclear physics from the University of Strasbourg and is currently a research scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. His work is centred on the development and applications of computational methods for nuclear energy density functional theory, with a particular focus on the development of a fundamental description of nuclear fission.
