Effective interactions in nuclear structure

Realistic Effective Interactions and Nuclear Structure Calculations

We address the two main questions relevant to microscopic nuclear structure calculations starting from a free NN potential. These concern the accuracy of these kinds of calculations and the extent to which they depend on the potential used as input. Regarding the first question, we present some results obtained for nuclei around doubly magic Sn and Pb by making use of an effective interaction d...

Effective interactions for the nuclear shell model

Various perturbative and non-perturbative many-body techniques are discussed in this work. Especially, we will focus on the summation of so-called Parquet diagrams with emphasis on applications to finite nuclei. Here, the subset of two-body Parquet equations will be discussed. A practical implementation of the corresponding equations for studies of effective interactions for finite nuclei is ou...

Effective Interactions for the Nuclear Shell Model

Quark structure and nuclear effective forces.

We formulate the quark meson coupling model as a many-body effective Hamiltonian. This leads naturally to the appearance of many-body forces. We investigate the zero range limit of the model and compare its Hartree-Fock Hamiltonian to that corresponding to the Skyrme effective force. By fixing the three parameters of the model to reproduce the binding and symmetry energy of nuclear matter, we f...

Realistic and Effective Interactions in the Study of Nuclear Matter

The equation of state of symmetric nuclear matter is addressed starting both from a realistic interaction derived from nucleon-nucleon scattering processes and from a low-momentum effective potential. The approach is based on finite temperature Green's functions. The internal energy per particle is estimated from the summation of diagrams and through the Galitskii-Koltun's sum rule. At present,...
