[Triumf-seminars] TRIUMF Seminar today at 11:00

[postmaster at admin.triumf.ca]

Date/Time: Fri 2010-04-09 at 11:00

Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Lucas Platter (Institute for Nuclear Theory, Seattle)

Title:     Effective Field Theories for Few- and Many-Body Systems

Abstract: I will discuss the calculation of nuclear properties using effective field theories (EFTs). Specifically, I will consider an EFT that is tailored to weakly-bound systems such as light nuclei and Halo nuclei. I will furthermore discuss recent progress in the development of ab initio density functional theory for nuclear physics. This framework is a promising approach to a model-independent calculation of properties of heavy nuclei from microscopic internucleon interactions.


Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
