Uncertainty quantification in the nuclear shell model

Beyond the nuclear shell model

© 2007 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0711-030-9 Nuclei, the fuel that burns in stars, make up 99.9% of all baryonic matter in the universe.1 The complex nature of the nuclear forces among protons and neutrons generates a broad range and diversity of nuclear phenomena. Developing a comprehensive description of nuclei and their reactions represents one of the great intellectual oppor...

Forward and Backward Uncertainty Quantification in Optimization

This contribution gathers some of the ingredients presented during the Iranian Operational Research community gathering in Babolsar in 2019.It is a collection of several previous publications on how to set up an uncertainty quantification (UQ) cascade with ingredients of growing computational complexity for both forward and reverse uncertainty propagation.

Model Validation and Uncertainty Quantification

This session offers an open forum to discuss issues and directions of research in the areas of model updating, predictive quality of computer simulations, model validation and uncertainty quantification. Technical presentations review the state-of-the-art in nonlinear dynamics and model validation for structural dynamics. A panel discussion introduces the discussion on technology needs, future ...

Mixed Symmetry Nuclear Shell Model

A mixed-symmetry nuclear shell-model scheme for carrying out calculations in regimes where there is a competition between two or more modes is proposed. A one-dimensional toy model is used to demonstrate the concept. The theory is then applied to 24Mg and 44T i. For lower pf -shell nuclei such as 44−48T i and 48Cr there is strong SU(3) symmetry breaking due to the spin-orbit interaction. Howeve...
