The roles of three-nucleon force and continuum coupling in mirror symmetry breaking of oxygen mass region

Journal Article · · Physics Letters. B
With both three-nucleon force and continuum coupling included, we have developed a self-consistent ab initio Gamow shell model within the Gamow Hartree-Fock (GHF) basis obtained by the realistic interaction itself. With the chiral two-nucleon N3LO and three-nucleon N2LO interactions, the Gamow shell model has been applied to the mirror systems of Z = 8 neutron-rich isotopes and N = 8 proton-rich isotones, giving good agreements with data in binding energies, dripline positions and excitation spectra. The GHF calculated that the 0ds/2, 1S1/2 and 1p3/2 orbitals are resonances. The resonance states and their interplay with nonresonant continua play a crucial role in the descriptions of nuclei around driplines. Excitation spectra and Thomas-Ehrman shifts observed can be better described when both three-nucleon force and continuum coupling are considered in calculations. The three-nucleon force and continuum coupling produce a combined effect on the Thomas-Ehrman shift, e.g., for the 1/2+ resonance level of 19Na. The calculations help the understandings of related nuclear astrophysical processes.
