Nuclear and Neutron Matter Calculations with Different Model Spaces

In this work we investigate the so-called model-space Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (MBHF) approach for nuclear matter as well as for neutron matter and the extension of this which includes the particle-particle and hole-hole (PPHH) diagrams. A central ingredient in the model-space approach for nuclear matter is the boundary momentum kM beyond which the single-particle potential energy is set equal to...

Superfluid nuclear matter calculations

We present a method to calculate nuclear matter properties in the superfluid phase. The method is based on the use of self-consistent off-shell nucleon propagators in the T-matrix equation. Such a complete treatment of the spectral function, is required below and around Tc due to a pseudogap formation in the spectral function. In the superfluid phase we introduce the anomalous self-energy in th...

Test of shell-model interactions for nuclear structure calculations.

Recently no-core shell-model calculations have been performed @1,2#, in which all nucleons are active, so there are no hole states. This approach avoids the use of shell-model effective interactions involving excitations from an inert core of nucleons ~e.g., the core-polarization process!, and thereby avoids the convergence problems of the standard effectiveinteraction approach @3#. In this pap...

Global calculations with the interacting Boson model

The use of the interacting boson model is proposed for systematic calculations of nuclear properties for large regions of the nuclear chart, including exotic nuclei. In the simplest approach a constant hamiltonian is adopted for all nuclei and nuclear shape transitions are governed solely by total boson number or, equivalently, by total valence particle number. More sophisticated methods requir...
