Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Richard Chasman Project Name: NuclearStructure Division: PHY Project title: Optimization of many-body wavefunctions Associated funding: DOE/Office of Nuclear Physics Other Systems: desktop Science: The purpose of this work is to obtain a good description of low-lying nuclear states, going beyond a mean-field description. It becomes necessary to go beyond the mean-field approximation when the nucleus of interest is transitional in some sense, e.g. transitional between a spherical shape and a deformed shape. The need to go beyond a mean-field description is particularly important for excited states. Project description: I am developing a code to handle neutron-proton pairing together with deformation. When the code is developed, I will need time on fusion for running.
