In this talk, we will present our work at the interface between density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio theory. In particular, we will focus on infinite nuclear matter, that we simulate using a description based on a finite number of nucleons, and discuss three research directions:
1. a new ab initio Self-consistent Green's function (SCGF) approach, based on the algebraic...
The study of knockout reactions in which exotic nuclei are used as projectiles, is a hot research topic. We evaluate the accuracy of the description of the core-target interaction, by comparing theoretical and experimental reaction cross sections for a large dataset of knockout reactions carried out with light projectiles on a 9Be target. Our results show that single-folded potential,...
