Superfluid Local Density Approximation: A Density Functional Theory Approach to the Nuclear Pairing Problem

Nuclear Theory 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

I describe the foundation of a Density Functional Theory approach to include pairing correlations, which was applied to a variety of systems ranging from dilute fermions, to neutron stars and finite nuclei. Ground state properties as well as properties of excited states and time-dependent phenomena can be achieved in this manner within a formalism based on microscopic input.
