Nuclear Physics Seminar

At present, methods based on self-consistent mean-field approaches are the only microscopic nuclear structure models that can be applied to all nuclei (except for the very lightest ones). This presentation will motivate for which nuclides, observables, and phenomena it is advantageous, even necessary, to go beyond the self-consistent mean field, and how to achieve this in a systematic manner. The current state-of-the-art and its limits will be illustrated through results for nuclei exhibiting shape coexistence and the systematics of masses of even-even nuclei. An outlook will sketch necessary further developments. (Wspólne seminarium z fizyki jądrowej i struktury jądra atomowego.)
