Total and Parity-Projected Level Densities of Iron-Region Nuclei by the Shell Model Monte Carlo Method
نویسنده
چکیده
Total and parity-projected level densities of iron-region nuclei are calculated microscopically by using Monte Carlo methods for the nuclear shell model in the complete (pf + 0g9/2)-shell. The calculated total level density is found to be in good agreement with the experimental level density. The Monte Carlo calculations offer a significant improvement over the thermal Hartree-Fock approximation. Contrary to the Fermi gas model, it is found that the level density has a significant parity-dependence in the neutron resonance region. The systematics of the level density parameters (including shell effects) in the iron region is presented.

Microscopic Nuclear Level Densities from Fe to Ge by the Shell Model Monte Carlo Method
We calculate microscopically total and parity-projected level densities for β-stable even-even nuclei between Fe and Ge, using the shell model Monte Carlo methods in the complete (pf +0g9/2)-shell. A single-particle level density parameter a and backshift parameter ∆ are extracted by fitting the calculated densities to a backshifted Bethe formula, and their systematics are studied across the re...

We use the auxiliary-fields Monte Carlo method for the shell model in the complete (pf + 0g9/2)-shell to calculate level densities. We introduce parity projection techniques which enable us to calculate the parity dependence of the level density. Results are presented for 56Fe, where the calculated total level density is found to be in remarkable agreement with the experimental level density. T...

A simple formula for the ratio of the number of oddand even-parity states as a function of temperature is derived. This formula is used to calculate the ratio of level densities of opposite parities as a function of excitation energy. We test the formula with quantum Monte Carlo shell model calculations in the (pf+g9/2)-shell. The formula describes well the transition from low excitation energi...

We use quantum Monte Carlo methods in the framework of the interacting nuclear shell model to calculate the statistical properties of nuclei at finite temperature and/or excitation energies. With this approach we can carry out realistic calculations in much larger configuration spaces than are possible by conventional methods. A major application of the methods has been the microscopic calculat...

We introduce spin projection methods in the shell model Monte Carlo approach and apply them to calculate the spin distribution of level densities for iron-region nuclei using the complete (pf+g9/2)shell. We compare the calculated distributions with the spin-cutoff model and extract an energydependent moment of inertia. For even-even nuclei and at low excitation energies, we observe a significan...
