We discuss the need of including tensor terms in effective Gogny interaction used mean-field calculations. show one illustrative case that, with usual term that is employed Skyrme (and allows us to separate like-nucleon and neutron-proton contributions), we can describe evolution N=28 neutron gap calcium isotopes. propose include a tensor-isospin finite-range interactions type. The parameters two allow treat separately contributions. Two parameterizations have been chosen reproduce different...

Tungsten and CuCrZr alloy are two candidate be used in DEMO, tungsten for first wall divertor divertor. So, studying behavior these comparing results with environment crucial. In High Flux Test Module (HFTM) has been considered realistic...
Various models of ionization and fission chambers for ionizing radiation detection, designed to operate under harsh conditions such as those found in fusion reactors or particle accelerators, have been experimentally characterized numerically simulated.

Irradiations performed at Biomedical Research Center University Granada (CIBM) with bipolar metal-ceramic tube operating voltage 150 kV dose rate ranging from 0.05 2.28 Gy/min. All...
Tensor effects in shell evolution are studied within the mean-field approach. Particular attention is paid to analysis of magic gaps different regions nuclear chart, namely, $Z,N=8$, 20, and 28. Hartree-Fock calculations with Skyrme Gogny interactions performed where tensor term has a zero finite range, respectively. Results obtained without component compared between them experimental data, when available. To complete this analysis, effect also investigated relativistic model, exchange...
We present a study of the effects tensor-isospin term effective interaction in Hartree-Fock and Random Phase Approximation calculations. used finite-range forces Gogny type, we added to them which behaves, at large internucleonic distances, as analogous microscopic interactions.

Recent ground-state-focused studies of the tensor effects in mean-field framework are our starting point. On basis phenomenological arguments, we indicate regions for acceptable values parameters that associated with effective forces within both Skyrme and Gogny models. We identify signs by making an adjustment on neutron $1f$ spin-orbit splitting nuclei ${}^{40}$Ca, ${}^{48}$Ca, ${}^{56}$Ni. The first nucleus is not used to adjust because it spin-saturated, but employed tune strength. One...
