Exact solutions of the nuclear shell-model secular problem: Discrete nonorthogonal shell model within a variation-after-projection approach

Duy Duc Dao and Frédéric Nowacki

Phys. Rev. C 114, 014327 (2026) - Published 22 July, 2026

Variational methods employing symmetry-breaking intrinsic states offer alternative ways to tackle large-scale shell model calculations. While the latter provides a unified picture of the rotational motion and shell structure, the former has been known to provide a good approximation for the description of nuclear deformation. However, in such approaches, it is generally difficult to fully capture the effects of pairing correlations, for example in the backbending phenomena where the collective rotational motion is significantly disturbed. In this paper, the binding energies of levels coming from large-scale shell-model calculations are exactly reproduced using a discrete set of non-orthogonal Slater determinants, thus verifying their relevance for describing pairing properties as demonstrated in the ground-state band of 48Cr and the ground state of 78Ni, which is at the limit of conventional shell-model calculations. These results constitute a firm proof of the Broeckhove-Deumens theorem on the completeness property of non-orthogonal wave functions in realistic shell-model calculations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Longitudinal dynamics of large and small systems from a 3D Bayesian calibration of RHIC top-energy collision data

A. Mankolli et al. (JETSCAPE Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 114, 014905 (2026) - Published 15 July, 2026

The authors present both qualitative and quantitative advances in extracting transport coefficients and other parameters for the quark-gluon plasma formed in heavy ion collisions. The manuscript uses extensive data sets from all four of the original RHIC experiments to calibrate the input to a full 3-dimensional simulation based on relativistic hydrodynamics. The authors consider both a large system (Au+Au) as well as several small systems (d+Au, p+Au and $^{3}$ He+Au). The success in describing small systems provides strong support for the hydrodynamic paradigm, and also helps resolve a long-standing puzzle between STAR and PHENIX measurements in such systems.

Superfluid fraction in the crystal phase of the inner crust of neutron stars

Giorgio Almirante, Theodora Kaskitsi, and Michael Urban

Phys. Rev. C 114, 015802 (2026) - Published 6 July, 2026

This work addresses the important issue of the determination of the superfluid neutron fraction in the inner crust of neutrons stars. Knowing this fraction is important to understand if the inner crust can provide enough angular momentum to drive observed pulsar glitches. The paper presents, for the first time, fully self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations of the flow of superfluid neutrons through the periodic lattice of nuclear clusters, which show that the superfluid fraction can reach 90% and support a sufficient superfluid angular momentum reservoir to drive pulsar glitches.
