Towards systematic large scale Quasiparticle Random-Phase Approximation calculations with covariant and chiral interactions

Abstract

One of the main methods used to microscopically describe collective states in atomic nuclei is the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA). However, due to its high computational cost, systematic studies covering the full nuclear chart are rare. In this work we show the first results of our systematic large-scale QRPA calculations. We do this by means of the quasiparticle finite-amplitude method (QFAM), which significantly reduces computation times. We use two kinds of interactions, the covariant DD-PC1 and a novel chiral interaction.
