TDHF Theory and Its Extensions for the Multinucleon Transfer Reaction: A Mini Review

Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory has been a powerful tool in describing a variety of complex nuclear dynamics microscopically without empirical parameters. In this contribution, recent advances in nuclear dynamics studies employing TDHF and its extensions are briefly reviewed, in line with the study of multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions. The latter lies at the core of this Research Topic, whose application for the production of extremely neutron-rich nuclei has been extensively discussed in recent years. We are 100% sure that microscopic theories will contribute to the future MNT study.
