in Nuclear Physics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel in 1966, with a thesis titled "Shell-Model Binding Energies of Nuclei in the Zr Region," under the supervision of Nissan Zeldes.
He obtained his Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot Israel in 1973, with his doctoral thesis "Coulomb Energies and Charge Distributions in Nuclei," supervised by Igal Talmi.
[9][10][11] In related research, he also used the simulated annealing method to optimize Skyrme parameter values for effective nucleon-nucleon interactions by fitting them to extensive experimental data on nuclear properties.
[12] Shlomo's work addressed the Coulomb energy problem, specifically the Nolen-Schiffer anomaly (NSA), where mean-field approaches calculate CDE to be about 7% lower than experimental values.
[12] Additionally, he utilized 33 energy density functionals to perform Hartree-Fock based random phase approximation calculations of isoscalar and isovector giant resonances, deducing constraints on nuclear matter properties.
[17] Building upon his work on nuclear energy density, a consistency with experimental data was revealed by the Hartree-Fock calculations of neutron skin thickness and RPA of the electric dipole polarizability of 208Pb, challenging previous literature.
