We present a minimal nuclear energy density functional (NEDF) called “SeaLL1” that has
the smallest number of possible phenomenological parameters to date. SeaLL1 is defined …

It has been suggested that chaotic motion inside the nucleus may significantly limit the
accuracy with which nuclear masses can be calculated. Using a power spectrum analysis …

There have been great improvements in the predictions of nuclear masses, yet it is difficult to
exactly reproduce the measured nuclear mass. It has been suggested that the cause of such …

Collective vibrations and rotations of atomic nuclei are investigated from the classical
viewpoint within the geometric collective model. It is shown that the model, even in its …

Differences between measured nuclear masses and those calculated using the Finite-
Range Droplet Model are analyzed. It is shown that they have a well defined, clearly …

We present the simplest nuclear energy density functional (NEDF) to date, determined by
only 4 significant phenomenological parameters, yet capable of fitting measured nuclear …

A review of recent advances in the theoretical analysis of nuclear mass models and their
predictive power is presented. After introducing two tests which probe the ability of nuclear …

We interpret the discrepancy between semiempirical nuclear mass formulas and actual
nuclear masses in terms of the residual interaction. We show that correlations exist among …

It is shown that a new way of applying a set of nuclear-mass relations among neighbouring
nuclei, known as the Garvey–Kelson (GK) relations, holds exceptionally well for all currently …

Statistical fluctuations of the nuclear ground state energies are estimated using shell model
calculations in which particles in the valence shells interact through well-defined forces, and …
