A new relativistic Hartree-Fock approach with density-dependent $sigma$, $omega$, $rho$ and $pi$ meson-nucleon couplings for finite nuclei and nuclear matter is presented. Good description for finite nuclei and nuclear matter is achieved with a number of adjustable parameters comparable to that of the relativistic mean field approach. With the Fock terms, the contribution of the $pi$-meson is included and the description for the nucleon effective mass and its isospin and energy dependence is improved.

Background: The Density-constraint Time-dependent Hartree-Fock method is currently the tool of choice to predict fusion cross-sections. However, it does not include pairing correlations, which have been found recently to play an important role. Purpose: To describe the fusion cross-section with a method that includes the superfluidity and to understand the impact of pairing on both the fusion barrier and cross-section. Method: The density-constraint method is tested first on the following reactions without pairing, $^{16}$O+$^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca+$^{40}$Ca. A new method is developed, the Density-constraint Time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method. Using the Gogny-TDHFB code, it is applied to the reactions $^{20}$O+$^{20}$O and $^{44}$Ca+$^{44}$Ca. Results: The Gogny approach for systems without pairing reproduces the experimental data well. The DC-TDHFB method is coherent with the TDHFB fusion threshold. The effect of the phase-lock mechanism is shown for those reactions. Conclusions: The DC-TDHFB method is a useful new tool to determine the fusion potential between superfluid systems and to deduce their fusion cross-sections.
The hypernuclear matter is studied within the relativistic Hartree-Fock theory employing several parametrizations of the hypernuclear density functional with density-dependent couplings. The equations of state and compositions of hypernuclear matter are determined for each parametrization and compact stars are constructed by solving their structure equations in spherical symmetry. We quantify the softening effect of Fock terms on the equation of state, as well as discuss the impact of tensor interactions, which are absent in the Hartree theories. Starting from models of density functionals which are fixed in the nuclear sector to the nuclear phenomenology, we vary the couplings in the hyperonic sector around the central values which are fitted to the hyperon potentials in nuclear matter. We use the SU(6) spin-flavor and SU(3) flavor symmetric quark models to relate the hyperonic couplings to the nucleonic ones. We find, consistent with previous Hartree studies, that for the SU(6) model the maximal masses of compact stars are below the two-solar mass limit. In the SU(3) model we find sufficiently massive compact stars with cores composed predominantly of $Lambda$ and $Xi$ hyperons and a low fraction of leptons (mostly electrons). The parameter space of the SU(3) model is identified where simultaneously hypernuclear compact stars obey the astrophysical limits on pulsar masses and the empirical hypernuclear potentials in nuclear matter are reproduced.
We have explored the occurrence of the spherical shell closures for superheavy nuclei in the framework of the relativistic Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (RHFB) theory. Shell effects are characterized in terms of two-nucleon gaps $delta_{2n(p)}$. Although the results depend slightly on the effective Lagrangians used, the general set of magic numbers beyond $^{208}$Pb are predicted to be $Z = 120$, $138$ for protons and $N = 172$, 184, 228 and 258 for neutrons, respectively. Specifically the RHFB calculations favor the nuclide $^{304}$120 as the next spherical doubly magic one beyond $^{208}$Pb. Shell effects are sensitive to various terms of the mean-field, such as the spin-orbit coupling, the scalar and effective masses.
We study the equilibration and relaxation processes within the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach using the Wigner distribution function. On the technical side we present a geometrically unrestricted framework which allows us to calculate the full six-dimensional Wigner distribution function. With the removal of geometrical constraints, we are now able to extend our previous phase-space analysis of heavy-ion collisions in the reaction plane to unrestricted mean-field simulations of nuclear matter on a three-dimensional Cartesian lattice. From the physical point of view we provide a quantitative analysis on the stopping power in TDHF. This is linked to the effect of transparency. For the medium-heavy $^{40}$Ca+$^{40}$Ca system we examine the impact of different parametrizations of the Skyrme force, energy-dependence, and the significance of extra time-odd terms in the Skyrme functional. For the first time, transparency in TDHF is observed for a heavy system, $^{24}$Mg+$^{208}$Pb.
With the relativistic representation of the nuclear tensor force that is included automatically by the Fock diagrams, we explored the self-consistent tensor effects on the properties of nuclear matter system. The analysis were performed within the density-dependent relativistic Hartree-Fock (DDRHF) theory. The tensor force is found to notably influence the saturation mechanism, the equation of state and the symmetry energy of nuclear matter, as well as the neutron star properties. Without introducing any additional free parameters, the DDRHF approach paves a natural way to reveal the tensor effects on the nuclear matter system.
