Title: Stopped nucleons in configuration space

Article Details
Other Related Research

In this note, using the colour string model, we study the configuration space distribution of stopped nucleons in heavy-ion collisions. We find that the stopped nucleons from the target and the projectile end up separated from each other by the distance increasing with the collision energy. In consequence, for the center of mass energies larger than 6 or 10 GeV (depending on the details of the model) it appears that the system created is not in thermal and chemical equilibrium, and the net baryon density reached is likely not much higher than that already present in the colliding nuclei.

Using full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo in a seniority zero space to investigate the correlation energy equivalence of pair coupled cluster doubles and doubly occupied configuration interaction

Journal Article Shepherd, James J. ; Henderson, Thomas M. ; Scuseria, Gustavo E. March 2016 - Journal of Chemical Physics

Over the past few years, pair coupled cluster doubles (pCCD) has shown promise for the description of strong correlation. This promise is related to its apparent ability to match results from doubly occupied configuration interaction (DOCI), even though the latter method has exponential computational cost. In this paper, by modifying the full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo algorithm to sample only the seniority zero sector of Hilbert space, we show that the DOCI and pCCD energies are in agreement for a variety of 2D Hubbard models, including for systems well out of reach for conventional configuration interaction algorithms.

Supramolecular clusters and chains of 2,6-dimethylpyridine on Cu(110): Observation of dynamic configuration change with real-space surface science techniques and DFT calculations

Journal Article Lee, Junseok ; Sorescu, Dan C. ; Lee, Jae -Gook ; ... February 2016 - Surface Science

Here, the adsorption of 2,6-dimethylpyridine (2,6-DMP) on Cu(110) has been studied using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (LT-STM), time-of-flight electron stimulated desorption ion angular distribution (TOF-ESDIAD), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. At low temperatures (T < ~ 150 K), the 2,6-DMP adsorbs in a flat configuration on Cu(110) producing clusters and extended domains via weak hydrogen bonding (C—H···N) with the molecular symmetry axis aligned along the < 001 > surface direction.

Nonadiabatic Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics with the Floating Occupation Molecular Orbital-Complete Active Space Configuration Interaction Method [Non-Adiabatic Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics with Floating Occupation Molecular Orbitals CASCI Method]

Journal Article Hollas, Daniel ; Sistik, Lukas ; Hohenstein, Edward G. ; ... December 2017 - Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

Here, we show that the floating occupation molecular orbital complete active space configuration interaction (FOMO-CASCI) method is a promising alternative to the widely used complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method in direct nonadiabatic dynamics simulations. We have simulated photodynamics of three archetypal molecules in photodynamics: ethylene, methaniminium cation, and malonaldehyde. We compared the time evolution of electronic populations and reaction mechanisms as revealed by the FOMO-CASCI and CASSCF approaches. Generally, the two approaches provide similar results. Some dynamical differences are observed, but these can be traced back to energetically minor differences in the potential energy surfaces. We suggest thatmore »« less
Simulating Electron Dynamics of Complex Molecules with Time-Dependent Complete Active Space Configuration Interaction

Journal Article Peng, Wei -Tao ; Fales, B. Scott ; Levine, Benjamin G. July 2018 - Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

In this paper, time-dependent electronic structure methods are growing in popularity as tools for modeling ultrafast and/or nonlinear processes, for computing spectra, and as the electronic structure component of mean-field molecular dynamics simulations. Time-dependent configuration interaction (TD-CI) offers several advantages over the widely used real-time time-dependent density functional theory: namely, that it correctly models Rabi oscillations; it offers a spin-pure description of open-shell systems; and a hierarchy of TD-CI methods can be defined that systematically approach the exact solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation (TDSE). In this work, we present a novel TD-CI approach that extends TD-CI to large completemore »« less
Correlated nucleons in configuration space

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Muether, Herbert ; Sick, Ingo ; Department fuer Physik und Astronomie, Universitaet Basel, Basel October 2004 - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Several recent studies have dealt with the effects of short-range correlations on the momentum distribution of nucleons in nuclei. Here we investigate the correlation effects on the density and spectral distribution in coordinate space. A combination of experimental data and spectral functions calculated from realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions allows us to resolve a recently uncovered discrepancy with occupation of quasiparticle states derived from (e,e{sup '}p) data.
