Hello, A yearly allocation for the LCRC cluster has been requested with the following updated information: Submitter/PI: Pengwei Zhao Project Name: cdft Division: PHY Project title: Covariant density functional theory for nuclei under extreme conditions Associated funding: DOE Office of Nuclear Physics Other Systems: Science: This project uses Covariant Density Functional Theory [CDFT] to compute nuclear ground-state and excited-state energies, radii, electromagnetic transitions, etc. Our goal is a description of the structure of nuclei under extreme conditions, e.g., extreme spin and/or isospin. This research places strong emphasis on the explanation of the data from existing facilities, e.g, ATLAS at Argonne and on planning for and anticipating the output of future facilities; such as FRIB at Michigan. Project description: This project uses Covariant Density Functional Theory [CDFT] to compute nuclear ground-state and excited-state energies, radii, electromagnetic transitions, etc. Our goal is a description of the structure of nuclei under extreme conditions, e.g., extreme spin and/or isospin. This research places strong emphasis on supporting the experiments at the existing facilities, e.g, ATLAS at Argonne and on planning for and anticipating the output of future facilities; such as FRIB at Michigan state University. a) Multi-chirality. We intend to develop the 3D cranking covariant density functional theory to study multi-chiral bands in the high-spin excited states. This research supports the experiments at ATLAS. We expect to use 30000 core hours for this work. b) Impact of pairing correlations. We will study the pairing correlation effects on the orientation of the nuclear spin in rapidly rotating nuclei. This research supports the experiments at ATLAS. We expect to use 30000 core hours for this work. c) Exotic deformation. We will search for the exotic deformation in light nuclei with extremely high spin and isospin. This research supports the experiments at MSU and also RIKEN. We expect to use 20000 core hours for this work. d) Low-lying excited states. We will study the low-lying excited states for nuclei towards the neutron drip line with beyond density functional methods. We expect to use 50000 core hours for this work. e) Tidal wave. We will study the exotic excitations of the tidal wave form. This research supports the experiments at ATLAS. We expect to use 30000 core hours for this work. We use MPI for the programs of covariant density functional theory. Some calculations in this project have already been started on Argonne's computers. From the former experience, the programs work very efficiently on parallel processors.
