Abstract

Drip-line nuclei have very different properties from those of the valley of stability, as they are weakly bound and resonant. Therefore, the models devised for stable nuclei can no longer be applied therein. Hence, a new theoretical tool, the Gamow Shell Model (GSM), has been developed to study the many-body states occurring at the limits of the nuclear chart. GSM is a configuration interaction model based on the use of the so-called Berggren basis, which contains bound, resonant and scattering states, so that inter-nucleon correlations are fully taken into account and the asymptotes of extended many-body wave functions are precisely handled. However, large complex symmetric matrices must be diagonalized in this framework, therefore the use of very powerful parallel machines is needed therein. So, in order to fully take advantage of their power, a 2D partitioning scheme using hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallelization has been developed in our GSM code. The specificities of the 2D partitioning scheme in the GSM framework will be described and illustrated with numerical examples. It will then be shown that the introduction of this scheme in the GSM code greatly enhances its capabilities.

Quantified Gamow shell model interaction for $p s d$ -shell nuclei

Journal Article Jaganathen, Y. ; Betan, R. M. Id ; Michel, N. ; ... - Physical Review C

Background: The structure of weakly bound and unbound nuclei close to particle drip lines is one of the major science drivers of nuclear physics. A comprehensive understanding of these systems goes beyond the traditional configuration interaction approach formulated in the Hilbert space of localized states (nuclear shell model) and requires an open quantum system description. The complex-energy Gamow shell model (GSM) provides such a framework as it is capable of describing resonant and nonresonant many-body states on equal footing. Purpose: To make reliable predictions, quality input is needed that allows for the full uncertainty quantification of theoretical results. In thismore »« less

Gamow Shell-Model Calculations of Drip-Line Oxygen Isotopes

Journal Article Tsukiyama, K. ; Hjorth-Jensen, M. ; Hagen, Gaute - Physical Review C

We employ the Gamow shell model (GSM) to describe low-lying states of the oxygen isotopes ^{24}O and ^{25}O. The many-body Schroedinger equation is solved starting from a two-body Hamiltonian defined by a renormalized low-momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction and a spherical Berggren basis. The Berggren basis treats bound, resonant, and continuum states on an equal footing and is therefore an appropriate representation of loosely bound and unbound nuclear states near threshold. We show that such a basis is necessary in order to obtain a detailed and correct description of the low-lying 1^{+} and 2^{+} excited states in ^{24}O. On the othermore »« less

Gamow shell-model calculations of drip-line oxygen isotopes

Journal Article Tsukiyama, K. ; Hjorth-Jensen, M. ; Hagen, G. - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We employ the Gamow shell model (GSM) to describe low-lying states of the oxygen isotopes {sup 24}O and {sup 25}O. The many-body Schroedinger equation is solved starting from a two-body Hamiltonian defined by a renormalized low-momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction and a spherical Berggren basis. The Berggren basis treats bound, resonant, and continuum states on an equal footing and is therefore an appropriate representation of loosely bound and unbound nuclear states near threshold. We show that the inclusion of continuum effects has a significant effect on the low-lying 1{sup +} and 2{sup +} excited states in {sup 24}O. On the othermore »« less

Antibound states and halo formation in the Gamow shell model

Journal Article Michel, N. ; Rotureau, J. ; Physics Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, P.O. Box 2008, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37831 ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The open quantum system formulation of the nuclear shell model, the so-called Gamow shell model (GSM), is a multiconfigurational SM that employs a single-particle basis given by the Berggren ensemble consisting of Gamow states and the non-resonant continuum of scattering states. The GSM is of particular importance for weakly bound/unbound nuclear states where both many-body correlations and the coupling to decay channels are essential. In this context, we investigate the role of l=0 antibound (virtual) neutron single-particle states in the shell model description of loosely bound wave functions, such as the ground state wave function of a halo nucleus {supmore » 11}Li.« less

Nuclear three-body problem in the complex energy plane: Complex-scaling Slater method

Journal Article Kruppa, A. T. ; Papadimitriou, G. ; Nazarewicz, W. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The physics of open quantum systems is an interdisciplinary area of research. The nuclear “openness” manifests itself through the presence of the many-body continuum representing various decay, scattering, and reaction channels. As the radioactive nuclear beam experimentation extends the known nuclear landscape toward the particle drip lines, the coupling to the continuum space becomes exceedingly more important. Of particular interest are weakly bound and unbound nuclear states appearing around particle thresholds. Theories of such nuclei must take into account their open quantum nature. To describe open quantum systems, we introduce a complex-scaling (CS) approach in the Slater basis. We benchmarkmore »« less
