The University of Missouri-St. Louis will use a $600,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to develop new theoretical methods for describing the properties of exotic nuclei with extreme neutron-to-proton ratios. The awardee aims to simultaneously model both bound and unbound nucleons using the propagator method, providing new insights into neutron-rich nuclei relevant for neutron star physics. Graduate students will be mentored in this research. Non-local potentials constrained by experimental data will be utilized within the propagator framework to accurately describe ground state properties and experimental scattering data. Various nuclear reactions will be studied, including those involving deuterons, to clarify nucleon properties in exotic nuclei and suggest new experiments. The method will also be extended to simultaneously describe response functions and applied to calculate properties of heavier nuclei from first principles, representing novel capabilities. Results are expected to enhance understanding of nuclear structure and reactions for rare isotopes.
