0 The α - particle in nuclear matter
نویسنده
چکیده
Among the light nuclear clusters the α-particle is by far the strongest bound system and therefore expected to play a significant role in the dynamics of nuclei and the phases of nuclear matter. To systematically study the properties of the α-particle we have derived an effective four-body equation of the AltGrassberger-Sandhas (AGS) type that includes the dominant medium effects, i.e. self energy corrections and Pauli-blocking in a consistent way. The equation is solved utilizing the energy dependent pole expansion for the subsystem amplitudes. We find that the Mott transition of an α-particle at rest differs from that expected from perturbation theory and occurs at approximately 1/10 of nuclear matter densities.

Alpha-Particle Condensation in Nuclear Systems
The onset of quartetting, i.e. α-particle condensation, in symmetric nuclear matter is studied with the help of an in-medium modified four nucleon equation. It is found that at very low density quartetting wins over pairing, because of the strong binding of the α-particles. The critical temperature can reach values up to around 6 MeV. Also the disappearance of α-particles with increasing densit...
متن کاملThree- and Four-body correlations in nuclear matter
Few-nucleon correlations in nuclear matter at finite densities and temperatures are explored. Using the Dyson equation approach leads to effective few-body equations that include self energy corrections and Pauli blocking factors in a systematic way. Examples given are the nucleon deuteron in-medium reaction rates, few-body bound states including the α-particle, and α-particle condensation.
متن کاملRole of short-range and tensor correlations in nuclei
The role of short-range and tensor correlations in nuclei can be investigated through a careful comparison with microscopic nuclear matter calculations. We focus on the momentum distribution, a one-body operator which is particularly sensitive to correlations. We identify a depletion of the population of hole states of around 15% in symmetric matter and a significant isospin dependence due to t...

We calculate Λα, Σα and Ξα potentials from the nuclear-matter G-matrices of the SU6 quark-model baryon-baryon interaction. The α-cluster wave function is assumed to be a simple harmonic-oscillator shell-model wave function. A new method is proposed to derive the direct and knock-on terms of the interaction Born kernel from the hyperon-nucleon G-matrices, with explicit treatments of the nonlocal...
