Collaborators:

Michael McNeil Forbes - Washington State University and UWShi Jin University of Washington

The most prominent formula in nuclear physics: Bethe-Weizscker mass formula (1936)

Single-particle density of states in a many-fermion system

Higher order gradient corrections

QMC of Neutron Matter EoS

2375 nuclei (AME 2012) and 883 charge radii

Dynamics

Introducing single-particle wave functions

Isovector excited collective modes

Fission

238U symmetric fission

238U asymmetric fission
