14th International Spring Seminar on Nuclear Physics: "Cutting-edge developments in nuclear structure physics"

→ Europe/Rome
Ischia

Ischia
Description

This Seminar is the fourteenth in a series of topical meetings started in 1986 on the initiative of Aldo Covello. The main aim of the Seminar is to focus on the progress made in recent years from both a theoretical and experimental point of view as well as on the role that nuclear structure may play in the context of fundamental physics.            
The Seminar will maintain the general spirit and intent of the earlier meetings of this series by providing to a group of researchers the opportunity to discuss their current work and confront their opinions.

        Updates on the relativistic nuclear field theory: refining dynamical kernels of the nuclear response 25m

        I will present selected results on nuclear giant and pygmy resonances at zero and finite temperatures based on the recent advancements of the nuclear many-body theory [1-6]. The theory will be compactly introduced in the most general quantum field theory formalism with only the bare fermionic interaction input. A special focus will be placed on the emergent scale of the quasiparticle-vibration coupling (qPVC) with the order parameter associated with the qPVC vertex and an efficient treatment of the nuclear many-body problem organized around the qPVC hierarchy [1-3].

        Self-consistent solutions of the relativistic Bethe-Salpeter-Dyson equation for the nuclear response function in medium-heavy nuclei will be presented and discussed. Low-multipole neutral and charge-exchange resonances in calcium, nickel, and tin mass regions will be analyzed in the context of the role of high-complexity configurations in reproducing spectral data [2,3,7]. Finite-temperature theory and implementations for astrophysically relevant low-energy dipole strength, beta decay rates, and electron capture rates will be overviewed in light of the temperature dependence of the nuclear spectral properties [4,5].
