Proton-Neutron Correlation Energies From Self-Consistent Large-Scale Mass Calculations
Abstract
Proton-neutron correlation energies extracted from double differences in binding energies, obtained from theoretical masses calculated within the Skyrme density functional theory with contact pairing interaction, are compared with experimental values based on the 2003 nuclear mass compilation. It is shown that theory gives a qualitative (and often quantitative) reproduction of experiment. The agreement is particularly good for deformed nuclei. For transitional systems, the comparison suggests that more theoretical work is required to incorporate dynamic correlations that go beyond the mean-field theory.

Charged-particle (pseudo-)rapidity distributions in p+p/p+p and Pb+Pb/Au+Au collisions from UrQMD calculations at energies available at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron to the Large Hadron Collider
We present results for final state charged-particle (pseudo-)rapidity distributions in p+p/p+p and Pb+Pb/Au+Au at ultra high energies (17.3 GeV{<=}{radical}(s{sub NN}){<=}14 TeV) from the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD-v2.3) model. In addition, excitation functions of produced charged-particle multiplicities (N{sub ch}) and pseudorapidity spectra are investigated up to CERN Large Hadron Collider energies. Good agreement is observed between UrQMD and measured pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles up to the highest Tevatron and SppS energies. -
Density-driven self-consistent-field method: Density-constrained correlation energies in the helium series
The electron-correlation energies, calculated with the wave functions constrained to the Hartree-Fock density, are computed for the helium series and are compared with the exact (unconstrained) correlation energies. Imposition of the density constraints increases the energies by a surprisingly small amount. Both the {ital l}=0 ({ital s}) and {ital l}=1 ({ital p}) limit differences between the constrained and exact energies are demonstrated to scale like the reciprocal of the square of the atomic numbers. The computational results are rationalized by introducing rigorous definitions of the dynamical and nondynamical correlation energies. -
Modulational interaction between drift waves and trapped ion convective cells: A paradigm for the self-consistent interaction of large-scale sheared flows with small-scale fluctuations
The linear and nonlinear dynamics of modulational interaction between small-scale drift waves and large-scale trapped ion convective cells are investigated. This example is a paradigm of the more general problem of describing the self-consistent interaction of small-scale fluctuations with mean sheared flows. The growth rate of modulational instability is determined by spectral properties of drift waves and can exceed the linear growth rate of the trapped ion mode. An anisotropic spectrum of drift waves is always modulationally unstable. The spatial orientation of the convective cell pattern and structure (i.e., shear strength) is determined by drift wave spectrum anisotropy and propagationmore »
