Nuclear density functional theory is the prevalent theoretical framework for accurately describing nuclear properties at the scale of the entire chart of nuclides. Given an energy functional and a many-body scheme (e.g., single- or multireference level), the predictive power of the theory depends strongly on how the parameters of the energy functionals have been calibrated with experimental data. Expanded algorithms and computing power have enabled recent optimization protocols to include data in deformed nuclei in order to optimize the coupling constants of the energy functional. The primary motivation of this work is to test the robustness of such protocols with respect to some of the technical and numerical details of the underlying calculations, especially when the calibration explores a large parameter space. To this end, we quantify the effect of these uncertainties on both the optimization and statistical emulation of composite objective functions. We also emphasize that ...

用变形核校准能量密度泛函

核密度泛函理论是在整个核素图范围内准确描述核性质的流行理论框架。给定能量功能和多体方案（例如，单参考水平或多参考水平），该理论的预测能力在很大程度上取决于如何用实验数据对能量功能的参数进行校准。扩展的算法和计算能力使最近的优化协议能够将数据包含在变形核中，以优化能量功能的耦合常数。这项工作的主要动机是相对于基础计算的某些技术和数值细节测试此类协议的鲁棒性，尤其是在校准探索较大的参数空间时。为此，我们量化了这些不确定性对复合目标函数的优化和统计仿真的影响。我们还强调...
