We develop theoretical diagnostics for the breakdown of mean-field theory, demonstrate how spatial structure and finite interaction ranges enter the effective description, and show how these scales qualitatively modify the…
Explaining observed properties in terms of underlying shape degrees of freedom is a well--established prism with which to understand atomic nuclei. Self--consistent mean--field models provide one tool to understand nuclear shapes, and their…
