Collective excitations of nuclei in a relativistic mean-field theory

Collective excitations of finite nuclei are discussed in a model relativistic baryon-meson field theory. Eigenvalue equations for small amplitude motion about the static mean-field solutions assuming irrotational flow are derived. Variational estimates of the lowest modes are obtained.     

Exploration of Pseudospin Symmetry in the Resonant States

Taking ^120Sn as an example, we discuss the pseudospin symmetry in the single proton resonant states by examining the energies, widths and the wavefunctions. The information of the single proton resonant states in spherical nuclei are extracted from an analytic continuation in the coupling constant method within the framework of the self-consistent relativistic mean field theory under the relativistic boundary condition. We find small energy splitting in a pair of pseudospin partners in the resonant states. The lower components of the Dirac wavefunctions of a pseudospin doublet agree well in the region where nuclear potential dominates. It is concluded that the pseudospin symmetry is also well conserved for the resonant states in realistic nuclei.     

相对论小分量波函数对原子光电离截面的影响

利用相对论平均自洽场理论,　研究了相对论波函数的小分量对原子光电离截面的影响。原子核尺寸效应将使波函数小分量对原子光电离截面的影响减弱。由于波函数沿径向空间被压缩,　电子离核的平均半径较小,　波函数小分量对高离化态离子光电离截面的影响比对一般原子要强得多。波函数小分量反映了相对论效应的基本特征,　从而也定性地说明了光电离过程中相对论效应的强弱。The effects of relativistic small radial component on atomic photoionization cross sections have been studied within relativistic average self consistent field theory. Relativistic effects are relatively unimportant for low photon energy, along with a review of high energy photoionization the relativistic effects are quite important. The effects of relativistic small radial component on photoionization process should show breakdown when the nuclear finite size effects is taken into account. The compression of wavefunction into the space near nucleus is so strong in highly charged ions that the electronic radius greatly decreases, and the effects of relativistic small radial component on photoionization cross sections turn to stronger than ordinary atoms. Since relativistic effects are extremely sensitive to the behavior of small radial component, the results are in good agreement with relativistic effects on photoionization cross section.     

Relativistic Consistent Angular-Momentum Projected Shell-Model:Relativistic Mean Field

We develop a relativistic nuclear structure model, relativistic consistent angular-momentum projected shell-model (RECAPS), which combines the relativistic mean-field theory with the angular-momentum projection method. In this new model, nuclear ground-state properties are first calculated consistently using relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory. Then angular momentum projection method is used to project out states with good angular momentum from a few important configurations. By diagonalizing the hamiltonian, the energy levels and wave functions are obtained. This model is a new attempt for the understanding of nuclear structure of normal nuclei and for the prediction of nuclear properties of nuclei far from stability. In this paper, we will describe the treatment of the relativistic mean field. A computer code, RECAPS-RMF, is developed. It solves the relativistic mean field with axial-symmetric deformation in the spherical harmonic oscillator basis. Comparisons between our calculations and existing relativistic mean-field calculations are made to test the model. These include the ground-state properties of spherical nuclei ¹⁶O and ²⁰⁸Pb, the deformed nucleus ²⁰Ne. Good agreement is obtained.     

Relativistic point-coupling models as effective theories of nuclei

Recent studies have shown that concepts of effective field theory such as naturalness can be profitably applied to relativistic mean-field models of nuclei. Here the analysis by Friar, Madland, and Lynn of naturalness in a relativistic point-coupling model is extended. Fits to experimental nuclear data support naive dimensional analysis as a useful principle and imply a mean-field expansion analogous to that found for mean-field meson models.

Relativistic many body approach for unstable nuclei and supernova

We study the properties of unstable nuclei and the equations of state of nuclear matter in the framework of the relativistic many body theory. We take the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory as a phenomenological theory with several parameters, whose form is constrained by the successful microscopic theory (RBHF), and whose values are extracted by using the experimental values of unstable nuclei. We find the outcome with the newly obtained parameter set (TMA) is promising in comparison with various experimental data. We study also the neutron star profiles with the equation of state of nuclear matter with the use of TMA.     

A Chiral Breaking Field Theory for Giant Multipole States of Nuclei

The isoscalar giant monopole and quadrupole states of finite nuclei are studied in a relativistic chiral breaking field theory by making use of local Lorentz-boost and scaling method. The nudear surface effect and the density distribution are treated in the relativistic Thomas-Fermi approximation. The excitation energies of the giant resonances are self consistently calculated. The numerical results for the excitation energies are in agreement with experimental data for all nuclei.     

Ground-State Properties of Ca Isotopes and the Density Dependence of the Symmetry Energy

A relativistic mean field model is used to study the ground-state properties of neutron-rich nuclei in Ca isotopes. An additional isoscalar and isovector nonlinear coupling has been introduced in the relativistic mean field model, which could soften the symmetry energy, while keep the agreement with the experimental data. The sensitivity of proton and neutron density distributions and single particle states in Ca isotopes to the additional isoscalarisovector nonlinear coupling term is investigated. We found that the binding energies, the density distributions of single particle levels are strongly correlated with the density dependence of the symmetric energy in nuclear matter.

Relativistic continuum-continuum coupling in the dissociation of halo nuclei

A relativistic coupled-channels theory for the calculation of dissociation cross sections of halo nuclei is developed. A comparison with nonrelativistic models is done for the dissociation of (8)B projectiles. It is shown that neglecting relativistic effects leads to sizable inaccuracies in the extraction of the astrophysical S factor for the proton + beryllium radiative capture reaction.     

The Effect of Interaction Range in Relativistic Microscopic Optical Potentials

Starting from the Walecka model about relativistic nucleon-meson field theory,the effect of interaction range in the relativistic microscopic optical potentials for nucleon-nucleus is included by folding the optical potentials in Local Density Approximity with nucleon-nucleon interaction potentials from the Walecka model.The present potentials are used to analyze the proton elastic scattering from nuclei.The agreement of the present calculation with experiment data is better than that of LDA.

Self-consistent hartree description of finite nuclei in a relativistic quantum field theory

Relativistic Hartree equations for spherical nuclei are derived from a relativistic nuclear quantum field theory using a coordinate-space Green function approach. The renormalizable field theory lagrangian includes the interaction of nucleons with σ, ω, ρ and π mesons and the photon. The Hartree equations represent the “mean-field” approximation for a finite nuclear system. Coupling constants and the σ-meson mass are determined from the properties of nuclear matter and the rms charge radius in ⁴⁰Ca, and pionic contributions are absent for static, closed-shell nuclei. Calculated charge densities, neutron densities, rms radii, and single-nucleon energy levels throughout the periodic table are compared with data and with results of non-relativistic calculations. Relativistic Hartree results agree with experiment at a level comparable to that of the most sophisticated non-relativistic calculations to date. It is shown that the Lorentz covariance of the relativistic formalism leads naturally to density-dependent interactions between nucleons. Furthermore, non-relativistic reduction reveals non-central and non-local aspects inherent in the Hartree formalism. The success of this simple relativistic Hartree approach is attributed to these features of the interaction.

Hadrons in nuclei

Changes of hadronic properties in dense nuclear matter as predicted by theory have usually been investigated by means of relativistic heavy-ion reactions. In this talk I show that observable consequences of such changes can also be seen in more elementary reactions on nuclei. Particular emphasis is put on a discussion of photonuclear reactions; examples are the dilepton production at ≈1 GeV and the hadron production in nuclei at 10–20 GeV photon energies. The observable effects are expected to be as large as in relativistic heavy-ion collisions and can be more directly related to the underlying hadronic changes.     

Coulomb effects on the formation of proton halo nuclei

This paper makes some qualitative and quantitative analyses about halo formation rules of some mirror nuclei with the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory and the Woods--Saxon mean-field model. By analysing two opposite effects of Coulomb interaction on the proton halo formation, it finds that the energy level shift has a larger contribution than that of the Coulomb barrier when the mass number A is small, the hindrance of the Coulomb barrier becomes more obvious with the increase of the mass number A, and the overall effect of the Coulomb interaction almost disappears when A≈39 as its two effects counteract with each other.     

Relativistic Continuum Random Phase Approximation and Applications II. Applications

The fully consistent relativistic continuum random phase approximation （RCRPA） has been constructed in the momentum representation in the first part of this paper. In this part we describe the numerical details for solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The numerical results are checked by the inverse energy weighted sum rules in the isoscalar giant monopole resonance, which are obtained from the constraint relativistic mean field theory and also calculated with the integration of the RCRPA strengths. Good agreement between them is achieved. We study the effects of the self-consistency violation, particularly the currents and Coulomb interaction to various collective multipole excitations. Using the fully consistent RCRPA method, we investigate the properties of isoscalar and isovector collective multipole excitations for some stable and exotic from light to heavy nuclei. The properties of the resonances, such as the centroid energies and strength distributions are compared with the experimental data as well as with results calculated in other models.
