Description

In this presentation we introduce the theoretical methods and relevant computational approaches to calculate the electronic and nuclear structures within the mean-field approximation of the Dirac equation for many-particle systems. This model includes nuclear and electromagnetic correlations and the self-consistent numerical solutions are obtained by using either radial mesh or Gaussian basis sets. Furthermore, we describe the extension of our relativistic approach to deal with nuclear reactions driven by the weak force, such as the electron capture and β-decay, using the Fermi-Dirac statistics. The processes that we will analyze are in particular the C(14) --->N(14), the Be(10) --->B(10) and the Rb(87) --->Sr(87) β- decays.
