We carry out state-of-the-art optimization of a nuclear energy density of Skyrme type in the framework of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory. The particle-hole and particle-particle channels are optimized simultaneously, and the experimental data set includes both spherical and deformed nuclei. The new model-based, derivative-free optimization algorithm used in this work has been found to be significantly better than standard optimization methods in terms of reliability, speed, accuracy, and precision. The resulting parameter set UNEDFpre results in good agreement with experimental masses, radii, and deformations and seems to be free of finite-size instabilities. An estimate of the reliability of the obtained parameterization is given, based on standard statistical methods. We discuss new physics insights offered by the advanced covariance analysis.

  1. Medium-mass nuclei with neural quantum states

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Pfaffian-Jastrow neural quantum states yield ground-state energies and charge radii for nuclei up to A=58, with weak p-wave terms reducing average energy error to ~3% while revealing Hamiltonian sensitivity and A^3 scaling.

  2. Neural-Accelerated Bayesian Calibration of Chiral Mean-Field Models to Nuclear Saturation and Vacuum Properties

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A neural-accelerated Bayesian calibration of the chiral mean-field model shows that nuclear vacuum and saturation data constrain combinations of couplings while leaving individual parameters and neutron-star predictio...

  3. TTE-CAM: Self-Explainable Class Activation Maps for Pretrained Black-Box CNNs

    cs.CV 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A test-time convolution-head replacement converts pretrained CNNs into self-explainable models that keep black-box accuracy and produce faithful class activation maps.

  4. Nuclear Physics Confronts Relativistic Collisions Of Isobars

    nucl-ex 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    RHIC isobar data are explained by different shapes of 96Ru and 96Zr, with 96Zr showing a large octupole deformation, so nuclear structure uncertainty, not the magnetic field, dominates the observed ratios.

  5. Toward a Unified Understanding of the Dense Matter Equation of State

    nucl-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review of three Bayesian/computational frameworks for combining heavy-ion and astrophysical constraints on the dense-matter equation of state, plus a proposed unified integration workflow.
