Abstract

Absorbing boundary conditions are often employed in time-dependent mean-field calculations to cope with the problem of emitted particles which would otherwise return back onto the system and falsify the dynamical evolution. We scrutinize two widely used methods, imaginary potentials and gradual attenuation by a mask function. To that end, we consider breathing oscillations of a {sup 16}O nucleus computed on a radial one-dimensional grid in coordinate space. The most critical test case is the computation of resonance spectra in the (linear) domain of small amplitude motion. Absorbing bounds turn out to provide a reliable alternative to fully fledged continuum random phase approximation (RPA) calculations, although rather large absorbing bounds are required to simulate reliably well continuum conditions. We also investigate the computation of observables in the nonlinear domain. This regime turns out to be less demanding. Smaller absorbing margin suffice to achieve the wanted absorption effect.

Role of deformation on giant resonances within the quasiparticle random-phase approximation and the Gogny force

Journal Article Peru, S. ; Goutte, H. - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Fully consistent axially-symmetric-deformed quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) calculations have been performed, in which the same Gogny D1S effective force has been used for both the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov mean field and the QRPA approaches. Giant resonances calculated in deformed {sup 26-28}Si and {sup 22-24}Mg nuclei as well as in the spherical {sup 30}Si and {sup 28}Mg isotopes are presented. Theoretical results for isovector-dipole and isoscalar monopole, quadrupole, and octupole responses are presented and the impact of the intrinsic nuclear deformation is discussed.

Microscopic description of excitation of nuclear isoscalar giant resonances by inelastic scattering of 240 MeV {alpha} particles

Journal Article Kolomiets, A. ; Pochivalov, O. ; Shlomo, S. - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

A microscopic description of the excitation of isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) and quadrupole resonance (ISGQR) in {sup 28}Si, {sup 40}Ca, {sup 58}Ni, and {sup 116}Sn by 240 MeV bombarding energy {alpha} particles is provided based on self-consistent Hartree-Fock- (HF-) random-phase-approximation (RPA) approach and the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA). The folding model is used to obtain optical potentials from the HF ground-state density and a density dependent Gaussian nucleon-{alpha} interaction (V{sub {alpha}}{sub n}). The parameters of V{sub {alpha}}{sub n} are determined by fitting experimentally measured angular distributions for the case of elastic scattering.

Effects of self-consistency violation in Hartree-Fock RPA calculations for nuclear giant resonances revisited

Journal Article Sil, Tapas ; Shlomo, S. ; Agrawal, B.K. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We provide accurate assessments of the consequences of violations of self-consistency in Hartree-Fock-(HF) based random-phase approximation (RPA) calculations of the centroid energy E{sub cen} of isoscalar and isovector giant resonances of multipolarities L=0-3 in a wide range of nuclei. This is done by carrying out highly accurate HF-RPA calculations neglecting the particle-hole (p-h) spin-orbit or Coulomb interaction in the RPA and comparing with the fully self-consistent HF-RPA results. We find that the shifts in the value of E{sub cen} because of self-consistency violation associated with the spin-orbit and Coulomb interactions are comparable or larger than the current experimental errors inmore » E{sub cen}.« less

The Symmetry Energy Term in Nuclear Incompressibility from Giant Monopole Resonances: A Short Status Report

Journal Article Garg, Umesh - AIP Conference Proceedings

An ''experimental'' value for the asymmetry term, K{sub {tau}}, in nuclear incompressibility has been extracted from the energies of the giant monopole resonance in a series of Sn isotopes (A = 112-124). The value, K{sub {tau}} -550{+-}100 MeV, in conjunction with the value for the incompressibility for infinite nuclear matter, K{sub {infinity}} = 240{+-}10 MeV, provides stringent constraints on the interactions typically used in nuclear structure and equation of state (EOS) calculations.
