Shortcuts to Nuclear Structure: Lessons in Hartree-fock, Rpa, and the No-core Shell Model
نویسنده
چکیده
While the no-core shell model is a state-of-the-art microscopic approach to low-energy nuclear structure, its intense computational requirements lead us to consider timehonored approximations such as the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation and the random phase approximation (RPA). We review RPA and point out some common misunderstandings, then apply HF+RPA to the no-core shell model. Here the main issue is appropriate treatment of contamination by spurious center-of-mass motion.

The Unitary Correlation Operator Method (UCOM) provides a means for nuclear structure calculations starting from realistic NN potentials. The dominant short-range central and tensor correlations are described explicitly by a unitary transformation. The application of UCOM in the context of the no-core shell model provides insight into the interplay between dominant short-range and residual long...
متن کاملHartree-Fock Approximation for the Ab Initio No-Core Shell Model
The spherical Hartree-Fock approximation is applied to the ab initio no-core shell model, with a realistic effective nucleon-nucleon interaction in order to investigate the range of its utility. Hartree-Fock results for binding energies, one-body density distributions and occupation probabilities are compared with results from exact diagonalization in similar model spaces. We show that this mea...
متن کاملE2 CORE POLARIZATION FOR sd-SHELL SINGLE-PARTICLE STATES CALCULATED WITH A SKYRME-TYPE INTERACTION
We have studied the core-polarization effect on the IsOd-she11 single-particle electromagnetic quadrupole transitions due to coupling with the quadrupole giant resonances. The self-consistent Hartree-Fock + RPA method is applied for the calculations of the single-particle wave functions and the response functions of the giant resonances. The particle-vibration-coupling model is used to calculat...
متن کاملExtraction of Vud from superallowed Fermi b decay by the Wilkinson techniques
The up–down element Vud of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix is derived from superallowed Fermi b decays between isospin T 1⁄4 1 states using the semi-empirical techniques pioneered by D.H. Wilkinson. Rather than relying directly on the absolute magnitude of theoretical nuclear structure calculations to correct each decay for isospin symmetry breaking effects, these method...
متن کاملCOULOMB FORM FACTORS OF COLLECTIVE E4 TRANSITIONS IN s-d SHELL NUCLEI
Recent high-resolution electron scattering data make it possible to obtain model independent transition densities and current densities in many nuclei over a broad region of the mass table [1]. These data provide precise and interesting information which can be used to test the validities of various nuclear models. A microscopic model has recently been proposed by the present authors [2] in ord...
