Correlations and the Dirac structure of the nucleon self-energy

The Dirac structure of the nucleon self-energy in symmetric nuclear matter as well as neutron matter is derived from a realistic meson exchange model for the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction. It is demonstrated that the effects of correlations on the effective NN interaction in the nuclear medium can be parameterized by means of an effective meson exchange. This analysis leads to a very intuitive interpretation of correlation effects and also provides an efficient parametrization of an effective interaction to be used in relativistic structure calculations for finite nuclei.

格点核子-核子势在核物质中的相对论效应(英文)

利用最新的格点核子-核子势研究了核物质中的相对论效应。通过此格点核子-核子势场,首先我们构建一个包括π介子,σ介子以及ω介子的单玻色子交换势。势场中的介子-核子耦合常数以及截断动量通过拟合格点核力得到的核子-核子散射相移确定。随后采用非常成功的第一性原理多体计算方法Brueckner-Hartree-Fock模型,计算了核物质的基本性质。发现对称核物质的状态方程以及饱和性质在非相对论框架和相对论框架中有很明显的区别。在格点核力中,该相对论效应对核物质的结合能提供吸引的贡献。这与采用传统的核力计算得到的结果是相反的。The relativistic effect in nuclear matter is investigated with the latest lattice nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential. A one-boson-exchange potential (OBEP) including three mesons, pion, σ meson and ω meson was constructed based on the lattice NN potential. The meson-nucleon coupling constants and cutoff momentums are determined by fitting the phase shifts of NN scattering from lattice NN potential. The properties of nuclear matter with this OBEP from lattice potential are calculated by one very successful ab initio many-body method, Brueckner-Hartree-Fock model. The equations of state and saturation properties of symmetric nuclear matter present very obvious different behaviors in non-relativistic and relativistic frameworks. The relativistic effect plays attractive contributions with the components of S and D waves in lattice NN potential, which is opposite comparing to the relativistic effect from the conventional NN potential.     

Isospin-dependent relativistic microscopic optical potential in the Dirac Brueckner-Hartree-Fock method

There is growing evidence to suggest that the binding energy of nucleon in nuclear matter comes from a cancellation between large Lorentz scalar and vector potentials[1,2]. The relativistic approach has been of a great success in describing not only the ground state properties of stable nuclei, but also those of exotic nuclei. In the relativistic frame, the spin-orbit coupling can be deduced automatically, which is usually given by hand in the non-relativistic approach. The relativistic method…     

Complex microscopic optical potential between two nuclei based on Dirac-Brueckner theory for nuclear matter

The real and imaginary parts of the optical-model potential between two nuclei are calculated in the energy density formalism. The energy density is derived from the Dirac-Brueckner approach to nuclear matter. In this approach, both free NN scattering and the saturation properties of nuclear matter can be explained starting from a realistic NN interaction. The relativistic features incorporated in the Dirac-Brueckner approach make the real part of the optical potential less attractive than that obtained in a non-relativistic calculation while the imaginary part is enhanced. The comparison of the calculated differential cross section for elastic ¹²C-¹²C scattering with the experimental data suggests that the enhancement of the imaginary part due to the relativistic treatment is favourable while its repulsive contribution to the real part is unfavourable.     

The study of the binding energy of nuclear matter in the relativistic σ− ω− π model with Δ isobar degree of freedom

The relativistic σ?ω?π model is proposed and used to calculate the binding energy of relativistic nuclear matter. By coupling Δ isobar to the σ meson, the zero-point fluctuation energy of the Δ isobar in the one loop approximation is derived. We calculate the effective mass of nucleon and Δ isobar, exchange and correlation energies, pressure and incompressibility of nuclear matter. The density dependence correction to σNN ωNN coupling constants is a very important mechanism to saturate the binding energy. The pion propagator is nuclear matter is constructed by the relativistic particle-hole, delta-hole and short-range correlation. The pion dispersion relation is calculated we find it’s very sensitive to the effective mass of nucleon and Δ isobar.     

Study of various charged ρ-meson masses in asymmetric nuclear matter

We study the effective masses of p-mesons for different charged states in asymmetric nuclear matter （ANM） using the Quantum Hadrodynamics II model. The closed form analytical results are presented for the effective masses of p-mesons. We have shown that the different charged p-mesons have mass splitting similar to various charged pions. The effect of the Dirac sea is also examined, and it is found that this effect is very important and leads to a reduction of the different charged p-meson masses in ANM.     

In-medium Nucleon-Nucleon Inelastic Scattering Cross Section(Ⅰ)

The explicit expressions for in-medium NN→N△ cross section are derived within the relativistic Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck approach,which are given simultalleously with the other integrants of transport model such as the mean field, NN elastic scattering cross section as well as the transport equation itself based on the effective Lagrangian.Our results can reproduce the experimental data of free inelastic cross section nicely.The in-medium inelastic cross section is calculated up to twice nuclear matter density and is in agreement with the Dirac-Brueckner calculations.     

On the Dirac structure of the nucleon self-energy in nuclear matter

The relativistic structure of the self-energy of a nucleon in nuclear matter is investigated including the imaginary and real components which arise from the terms of first and second order in the NN interaction. A parameterized form of the Brueckner G-matrix is used for the NN interaction. The effects of the terms beyond the DBHF approximation on quasiparticle energies and the optical potential for nucleon-nucleus scattering are discussed.     

A Separable Pairing Force in Nuclear Matter

The method introduced by Duguet is adopted to derive a separable form of the pairing interaction in the ^1So channel from a bare or an effective nucleon-nucleon （NN） interaction in nuclear matter. With this approach the separable pairing interaction reproduces the pairing properties provided by its corresponding NN interaction. In this work, separable forms of pairing interactions in the ^1So channel for the bare NN interaction, Bonn potential and the Gogny effective interaction are obtained. It is found that the separable force of the Gogny effective interaction in the 1So channel has a clear link with the bare NN interaction. With such a simple separable form pairing properties provided by the Gogny force in nuclear matter can be reproduced.     

Modern nucleon-nucleon potentials and symmetry energy in infinite matter

We study the symmetry energy in infinite nuclear matter employing a non-relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach and using various new nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials, which fit np and pp scattering data very accurately. The potential models we employ are the recent versions of the Nijmegen group, Nijm-I, Nijm-II, and Reid93, the Argonne V₁₈ potential and the CD-Bonn potential. All these potentials yield a symmetry energy which increases with density, resolving a discrepancy that existed for older NN potentials. The origin of remaining differences is discussed.     

On the relaxation-time approximation for the two-body dissipation in HI collisions

In several previous publications the author has treated two-body collisions between the nucléons (the two-body dissipation) encountered in heavy-ion collisions by a relaxation-time approximation. This approximation is here tested against the calculations of Danielewicz in which he studied the dynamics of two slabs of nuclear matter (two Fermi spheres in momentum space) colliding with the NN interactions parameterized to fit NN cross sections. The relaxation-time approximation is found to be in good agreement especially with quantum-dynamical calculations.
