Nonlocality in the Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction Due to Minimal-Relativity Factors: Effects on Two-Nucleon Observables and the Three-Nucleon Binding Energy

Minimal-relativity factors, when multiplied to a static local mesonexchange nucleon-nucleon potential, lead to a nonlocal potential. It is shown that the nonlocality can be represented by an analytically given nonlocality function, which has a width inversely proportional to the nucleon mass and which tends towards δ(r − r), the usual locality condition, in the limit of the nucleon mass going to infinity. Consequences of this particular type of non-locality for two-nucleon observables and for the three-nucleon binding energy are investigated along with a Malfliet-Tjjon-type potential. After readjusting the potential parameters of the nonlocal potential such that its two-nucleon properties are well matched to the ones of the static local potential the effect of the nonlocality on the three-nucleon binding energy essentially vanishes.

Skyrme-Hartree-Fock Description of the Nuclear Structure in Ca Isotopes (Ⅰ)Binding Energy and Shell Effects,Radii and Density Distributions

The ground state properties of Ca isotopes far from stability line were systematically studied using the Skyrme Hartree Fock model.The shell effects on the binding energy and two neutron separation energy are discussed.The isospin dependency of the unclear radii and nucleon density distributions and the shell effects on these properties are also studied.It is shown that the neutron magic number affests the width of nuclear surface and the nucleon density distributions beyond the nuclear surface.The change of proton rms radii R_rms with neutron number excess I=(N-Z)/A follows R_rms=3/5(1+αI+βI²)r_pZ^1/3.The effect of the centrifugal potential on the nuclear density in the outer trach of nuclear surface is clearly shown.     

A relativistic quantum field theoretical model for nuclear slab collision dynamics

We treat the dynamics of colliding nuclear slabs in a relativistic quantum field theory by using the relativistic mean field approximation. Starting from Walecka's lagrangian, the nucleons are represented by single-particle spinors determined by a Dirac equation that contains a repulsive mean vector meson field and an attractive mean scalar meson field. Both fields satisfy Klein-Gordon equations whose source terms are again determined by the nucleon spinors. The two equal nuclear slabs are translationally invariant in two transverse dimensions and consist of spin and isospin symmetric nuclear matter. By specification of appropriate initial conditions for the collision, we numerically solve the system of coupled Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations for lab energies per nucleon up to 420 MeV. For small energies the results are similar to TDHF results. The time dependence of the density distribution, the mean meson fields, and the damping of the collision are studied. At the highest bombarding energy retardation effects are taken into account.     

Effects of symmetry energy on two-nucleon correlation functions in heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei

Using an isospin-dependent transport model, we study the effects of nuclear symmetry energy on two-nucleon correlation functions in heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei. We find that the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy affects significantly the nucleon emission times in these collisions, leading to larger values of two-nucleon correlation functions for a symmetry energy that has a stronger density dependence. Two-nucleon correlation functions are thus useful tools for extracting information about the nuclear symmetry energy from heavy-ion collisions.     

Information on three-body interactions from inversion of the energy equations

The inversion of the three energy equations, i.e. for the nuclear total energy, the sum of occupied single-particle state energies and the saturation condition, using the experimental data in ¹⁶O and ⁴⁰Ca, is carried out to determine whether three-body effective interactions are necessary in addition to density independent and dependent two-body interactions. In order to fit the data both in a non-relativistic and a relativistic framework, the three-body interaction energy is found to be large and repulsive. We also show that density-dependent two-body effective interactions, which are another requisite in the non-relativistic potential theory, are not necessarily needed in the relativistic mean field framework but allow to increase the effective nucleon mass.

Investigation of Self-Consistent Relativistic Microscopic Optical Potential

In Dirac-Brueckner calculations for nuclear matter,the average binding energy per nucleon versus density curve is not uniquely defined if coupling to anti-particle is neglected.According to the Hugenholtz-Van Hove theorem,a constraint requires that the nucleon separation energy equals to the fermi energy at saturation density.Choosing saturation energy as empirical value E_B/A=－15.8MeV,the self-consistent calculation leads to the saturation density k_f=1.41fm^－1 and effective mass m*=0.52m,in compressive coefficient k=208MeV.Applying the first law of thermodynamics,self-consistent effective mass (real scalar potential) and the binding energy per nucleon as function of the nuclear density can be obtained.With the realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction (Bonn potential),the vector potential can be obtained from solving the RBBG equation,which weakly depends on the momentum.The cross section and spin observables of the nucleon-nucleus scattering are studied with this new self-consistent relativistic microscopic optical potential.     

Nucleon propagation through nuclear matter in chiral effective field theory

We treat the propagation of a nucleon in nuclear matter by evaluating the ensemble average of the two-point function of the nucleon currents in the framework of chiral effective field theory. We first derive the effective parameters of the nucleon to one loop. The resulting formula for the effective mass has been known since before and gives an absurd value at normal nuclear density. We then modify it following Weinberg’s method for the two-nucleon system in the effective theory. Our results for the effective mass and the width of the nucleon are compared with those in the literature. PACS 11.30.Rd; 12.38.Lg; 12.39.Fe; 24.85.+p

Particle clustering and Mott transitions in nuclear matter at finite temperature: (I). Method and general aspects

The thermodynamic state of nuclear matter as regards dependence on density and temperature is considered. Expressions for the association degree are derived describing the ratio of nuclear matter which is clustered to bound states. The problem of two nucleons imbedded in the surrounding nuclear matter is considered with the help of the Bethe-Goldstone equation for thermodynamic Green functions. The two-particle energy shift due to the effective nuclear matter hamiltonian is considered in a Hartree-Fock approximation, and a Mott density is obtained so that for densities of nuclear matter higher than the Mott density bound states cannot exist. With a simplified effective two-nucleon interaction the association degree is calculated as a function of the nucleon density and the temperature.     

Finite nuclei in many body theory

An exact method of solution of the Goldstone equation for reaction matrix for finite nuclei is presented. The method can be applied to any double-magic nucleus if the two-nucleon potential does not contain a hard core. The basic properties of the nucleus, i.e. binding energy, nucleon densities, r.m.s. and formfactor are expressed with the help of reaction matrix and certain auxiliary quantities and related to the centre of mass motion.The author would like to express his gratitude to the Rutherford High Energy Laboratory for the possibility to perform this study and especially to Dr G. H.Stafford, Dr G.Manning, Dr R. J. N.Phillips and Dr C. J.Batty for their encouraging interest.     

Relativistic repulsive effects in nonrelativistic systems

A ladder approximation to the Weinberg equation constitutes a basis for a study of relativistic effects in a model two-nucleon system. The essential changes in the low energy phase shifts and in the ground state binding energy are recovered when passing from a nonrelativistic to the relativistic treatment. Signs of the relativistic corrections are such as if the interaction were becoming more repulsive.     

Microscopic approach to nucleon spectra in hypernuclear non-mesonic weak decay

A consistent microscopic diagrammatic approach is applied for the first time to the calculation of the nucleon emission spectra in the non-mesonic weak decay of Λ-hypernuclei. We adopt a nuclear matter formalism extended to finite nuclei via the local density approximation, a one-meson exchange weak transition potential and a Bonn nucleon–nucleon strong potential. Ground state correlations and final state interactions, at second order in the nucleon–nucleon interaction, are introduced on the same footing for all the isospin channels of one- and two-nucleon induced decays. Single and double-coincidence nucleon spectra are predicted for ¹²_ΛC and compared with recent KEK and FINUDA data. The key role played by quantum interference terms allows us to improve the predictions obtained with intranuclear cascade codes. Discrepancies with data remain for proton emission.     

Binding energies and modelling of nuclei in semiclassical simulations

We study the binding energies of spin–isospin saturated nuclei with nucleon number 8?A?100$8?A?100$ in semiclassical Monte Carlo many-body simulations. The model Hamiltonian consists of (i) nucleon kinetic energy, (ii) a nucleon–nucleon interaction potential, and (iii) an effective Pauli potential which depends on density. The basic ingredients of the nucleon–nucleon potential are a short-range repulsion, and a medium-range attraction. Our results demonstrate that one can always expect to obtain the empirical binding energies for a set of nuclei by introducing a proper density dependent Pauli potential in terms of a single variable, the nucleon number, A. The present work shows that in the suggested procedure there is a delicate counterbalance of kinetic and potential energetic contributions allowing a good reproduction of the experimental nuclear binding energies. This type of calculations may be of interest in further reproduction of other properties of nuclei such as radii and also exotic nuclei.

Symmetry energy,unstable nuclei and neutron star crusts

We present an upgraded review of our microscopic investigation on the single-particle properties and the EOS of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter within the framework of the Brueckner theory extended to include a microscopic three-body force. We pay special attention to the discussion of the three-body force effect and the comparison of our results with the predictions by other ab initio approaches. Three-body force is shown to be necessary for reproducing the empirical saturation properties of symmetric nuclear matter within nonrelativistic microscopic frameworks, and also for extending the hole-line expansion to a wide density range. The three-body force effect on nuclear symmetry energy is repulsive, and it leads to a significant stiffening of the density dependence of symmetry energy at supra-saturation densities. Within the Brueckner approach, the three-body force affects the nucleon s.p. potentials primarily via its rearrangement contribution which is strongly repulsive and momentum-dependent at high densities and high momenta. Both the rearrangement contribution induced by the three-body force and the effect of ground-state correlations are crucial for predicting reliably the single-particle properties within the Brueckner framework.

Optical potential and nuclear matter

The relation of the parameters of the optical nucleon-nucleus potential to the characteristics of nuclear matter is established. The existing values of the parameters of the optical potential reflect well the binding energy per nucleon and the symmetry energy of nuclear matter. It is shown that the theorem of Hugenholtz and van Hove is not valid for the real part of the optical potential.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 97–100, January, 1978.     

Loop corrections and other many-body effects in relativistic field theories

Incorporation of effective masses into negative energy states (nucleon loop corrections) gives rise to repulsive many-body forces, as has been known for some time. Rather than renormalizing away the three- and four-body terms, we introduce medium corrections into the effective σ-exchange, which roughly cancel the nucleon loop terms for densities _nm, where _nm is nuclear matter density. Going to higher densities, the repulsive contributions tend to saturate whereas the attractive ones keep on growing in magnitude. The latter is achieved through use of a density-dependent effective mass for the σ-particle, m_σ = mσ(), such that m_σ() decreases with increasing density. Such a behavior is seen e.g. in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. It is argued that a smooth transition to chiral restoration implies a similar behavior. The resulting nuclear equation of state is, because of the self-consistency in the problem, immensely insensitive to changes in the mass or coupling constant of the σ-particle.
