EPJ A Topical Collection: The Nuclear Many-Body Problem

Guest Editors: David Blaschke, Hisashi Horiuchi, Peter Ring, Gerd Röpke

This Topical Collection of the European Physics Journal A is devoted to recent progress in the nuclear many-body problem. In particular, it aims at a comprehensive compilation of developments related to the work of a pioneer in that field, Peter Schuck, who passed away in 2022.

The Topical Collection is considered as addendum and continuation of the seminal textbook of P. Ring and P. Schuck on “The Nuclear Many-Body Problem”, where different concepts have been elaborated further within a broad international collaboration. For instance, the quasi-particle approaches in connection with nuclear superfluidity and cluster formation in nuclear systems, in particular alpha-particle condensation and quartetting at subsaturation densities, have been brought forward. These advances obtained in the nuclear many-body problem can also be applied to other systems, for instance to solid state physics.

The articles included in the Topical Collection are available here and are freely accessible until 31 March 2025. For further information read the Editorial.
