Density Functional Theory Approach to Nuclear Fission

N. Schunck

Published 2012-12-13, updated 2013-01-20Version 2

The Skyrme nuclear energy density functional theory (DFT) is used to model neutron-induced fission in actinides. This paper focuses on the numerical implementation of the theory. In particular, it reports recent advances in DFT code development on leadership class computers, and presents a detailed analysis of the numerical accuracy of DFT solvers for near-scission calculations.
