Toward a Global Microscopic Theory for Nuclear Structure: Mean Field Plus Random Phase Approximation Vs. Shell Model
Our understanding of nuclear structure is built upon mean-field theories such as Hartree-Fock and time-dependent Hartree-Fock. The small-amplitude limit of the latter is the random phase approximation (RPA), which is widely used to model giant resonances in nuclei. Despite this popularity, RPA has b...
