Physics of many-body systems

Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padua

We have used Fortran programs, developed by us, to calculate tables (databases) of coefficients to be used in calculations of many-body systems physics, particularly for nuclear systems composed of few nucleons or cluster nuclei.

For now, we have limited ourselves to a 1D model, obtaining benchmark results that are being prepared for publication, and the calculations have been relatively inexpensive. However, with the refinement of the 3D version of the code, we will have a powerful tool for nuclear structure calculations and to verify numerous theoretical hypotheses.

It will also be possible to extend the scope of application to atomic and molecular systems, expanding the interdisciplinary nature of the project.

The use of the cloud has proven useful for distributing the calculations.
