Relativistic nuclear energy density functionals: Adjusting parameters to binding energies
Relativistic nuclear energy density functionals: Adjusting parameters to binding energies
We study a particular class of relativistic nuclear energy density functionals in which only nucleon degrees of freedom are explicitly used in the construction of effective interaction terms. Short-distance (high-momentum) correlations, as well as intermediate- and long-range dynamics, are encoded in the medium (nucleon-density) dependence of the strength functionals of …
