Abstract

We examine to what extent correlated realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions, derived within the unitary correlation operator method (UCOM), can describe nuclear collective motion in the framework of first-order random-phase approximation (RPA). To this end we employ the correlated Argonne V18 interaction in calculations within the so-called ''Extended'' RPA (ERPA) and investigate the response of closed-shell nuclei. The ERPA is a renormalized RPA version which considers explicitly the depletion of the Fermi sea due to long-range correlations and thus allows us to examine how these affect the excitation spectra. It is found that the effect on the properties of giant resonances is rather small. Compared to the standard RPA, where excitations are built on top of the uncorrelated Hartree-Fock (HF) ground state, their centroid energies decrease by up to 1 MeV, approximately, in the isovector channel. The isoscalar response is less affected in general. Thus, the disagreement between our previous UCOM-based RPA calculations and the experimental data are to be attributed to other effects, namely to residual three-body terms in the Hamiltonian and to higher-order configurations. Single-particle energies and occupation probabilities obtained within the ERPA are compared with corresponding HF and perturbation-theory results and are discussed as well. The ERPA formalism ismore » presented in detail.« less

Collective nuclear excitations with Skyrme-second random-phase approximation

Journal Article Gambacurta, D. ; Catara, F. ; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Sezione di Catania, Via S. Sofia 64, I-95123 Catania ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Second random-phase approximation (RPA) calculations with a Skyrme force are performed to describe both high- and low-lying excited states in {sup 16}O. The coupling between one particle-one hole and two particle-two hole as well as that between two particle-two hole configurations among themselves are fully taken into account, and the residual interaction is never neglected; we do not resort therefore to a generally used approximate scheme where only the first kind of coupling is considered. The issue of the rearrangement terms in the matrix elements beyond the standard RPA will be considered in detail in a forthcoming paper. Two approximationsmore »« less

Damping of collective states in an extended random-phase approximation with ground-state correlations

Journal Article Tohyama, Mitsuru - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Applications of an extended version of the Hartree-Fock theory and the random-phase approximation derived from the time-dependent density-matrix theory (TDDM) are presented. In this TDDM-based theory, the ground state is given as a stationary solution of the TDDM equations and the excited states are calculated using the small-amplitude limit of TDDM. The first application presented is an extended Lipkin model in which an interaction term describing a particle scattering is added to the original Hamiltonian so that the damping of a collective state is taken into account. It is found that the TDDM-based theory well reproduces the ground state andmore »« less

Spin distribution of nuclear levels using the static path approximation with the random-phase approximation

Journal Article Kaneko, K. ; Schiller, A. - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We present a thermal and quantum-mechanical treatment of nuclear rotation using the formalism of the static path approximation plus the random-phase approximation. Naive perturbation theory fails because of the presence of zero-frequency modes resulting from dynamical symmetry breaking. Such modes lead to infrared divergences. We show that composite zero-frequency excitations are properly treated within the collective coordinate method. The resulting perturbation theory is free from infrared divergences. Without the assumption of individual random spin vectors, we derive microscopically the spin distribution of the level density. The moment of inertia is thereby related to the spin-cutoff parameter in the usual way.more »« less

Two-neutrino double {beta} decay of deformed nuclei within the quasiparticle random-phase approximation with a realistic interaction

Journal Article Yousef, Mohamed Saleh ; Rodin, Vadim ; Faessler, Amand ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

A method to implement a realistic nucleon-nucleon residual interaction based on the Brueckner G matrix (for the Bonn-CD force) into the quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) for deformed nuclei is formulated. The two-neutrino double {beta} decay for ground state to ground state transitions {sup 76}Ge{yields}{sup 76}Se and {sup 150}Nd{yields}{sup 150}Sm is calculated along with the Gamow-Teller strength distributions. The effect of deformation on the observables is studied.

Neutrinoless double-{beta} decay of deformed nuclei within quasiparticle random-phase approximation with a realistic interaction

Journal Article Fang Dongliang ; Faessler, Amand ; Rodin, Vadim ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

In this paper a microscopic approach to calculation of the nuclear matrix element M{sup 0{nu}} for neutrinoless double-{beta} decay with an account for nuclear deformation is presented in length and applied for {sup 76}Ge, {sup 150}Nd, and {sup 160}Gd. The proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation with a realistic residual interaction (the Brueckner G matrix derived from the charge-depending Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential) is used as the underlying nuclear structure model. The effects of the short-range correlations and the quenching of the axial vector coupling constant g{sub A} are analyzed. The results suggest that neutrinoless double-{beta} decay of {sup 150}Nd, to be measuredmore »« less
