Background: Models based on using perturbative polarization corrections and mean-field blocking approximation give conflicting results for masses of odd nuclei. Purpose: Systematically investigate the polarization and mean-field models,…
State-specific orbital optimized approaches are more accurate at predicting core-level spectra than traditional linear-response protocols, but their utility had been restricted on account of the risk of `variational collapse' down to the…
The "standard" theory of a normal metal consists of an effective electron band which interacts with phonons and impurities. The effects due to the electron-phonon interaction are often delineated within the Migdal approximation; the…
The parity-violating energy difference (PVED) between two enantiomers of a chiral molecule is caused by the weak interaction. Because of the smallness of the PVED, nonzero PVED is yet to be discovered in experimental searches. To detect the…
We present an exact field-theoretic formulation for a fluctuating, generally asymmetric, salt density in the presence of a charged plate. The non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann equation is obtained as the saddle-point of our field theory action.…
The best quadratic approximation to the retarded polaron action due to Adamowski {\it et al.} and Saitoh is investigated numerically for a wide range of coupling constants. The non-linear variational equations are solved iteratively with an…
It is shown that the non-relativistic ground state energy of helium-like and lithium-like ions with static nuclei can be interpolated in full physics range of nuclear charges $Z$ with accuracy of not less than 6 decimal digits (d.d.) or 7-8…
We present an indepth investigation of certain aspects of the two level on resonant multiphoton approximation to pair production from vacuum in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields. Numerical computations strongly suggest that a…
We present an exploratory study of the electromagnetic corrections to meson masses and the hadronic vacuum polarization using $N_f=2+1$ Domain Wall fermions. These corrections are estimated with two different approaches, a stochastic…
The particle-particle random phase approximation (ppRPA) within the hole-hole channel was recently proposed as an efficient tool for computing excitation energies of point defects in solids [J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2024, 15, 2757-2764]. In…
We present an accurate and rapid solution of Poisson's equation for space-filling, arbitrarily- shaped, convex Voronoi polyhedra (VP); the method is O(NVP), where NVP is the number of distinct VP representing the system. In effect, we…
A permanent electric dipole moment of fundamental spin-1/2 particles violates both parity (P) and time re- versal (T) symmetry, and hence, also charge-parity (CP) symmetry since there is no sign of CPT-violation. The search for a neutron…
Nuclear spin-dependent parity violation (NSD-PV) effects in atoms and molecules arise from $Z^0$ boson exchange between electrons and the nucleus, and from the magnetic interaction between electrons and the parity-violating nuclear anapole…
Results are reported for the first calculation of the low-lying spin-1/2 odd-parity octet baryon masses using ${\cal O}(a^2)$ improved gluon and fermion actions. Methods for removing even-parity ground-state contaminations from the…
The solution of the Poisson--Boltzmann equation for counterions confined between two charged plates is known analytically up to a constant, namely, the ion density in the middle of the channel. This quantity is relevant also because it…
The exact interaction energy of a many-electron system is determined by the electron pair density, which is not well-approximated in standard Kohn-Sham density functional models. Here we study the (complicated but well-defined) exact…
We address the question of how to improve the agreement between theoretical nuclear single-particle energies (SPEs) and experiment. Empirically, in doubly magic nuclei, the SPEs can be deduced from spectroscopic properties of odd nuclei…
The most widely-used density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy are inexact for one-electron systems. Their self-interaction errors can be severe in some applications. The problem is not only to correct the self-interaction…
