Towards the universal nuclear energy density functional

Year: 2009

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The UNEDF SciDAC project to develop and optimize the energy density functional for atomic nuclei using state-of-the art computational infrastructure is briefly described. The ultimate goal is to replace current phenomenological models of the nucleus with a well-founded microscopic theory with minimal uncertainties, capable of describing nuclear data and extrapolating to unknown regions.
