Generator coordinate method calculations of one-nucleon removal reactions on $^{40}$Ca

An approach to the Generator Coordinate Method (GCM) using Skyrme-type effective forces and Woods-Saxon construction potential is applied to calculate the single-particle proton and neutron overlap functions in $^{40}$Ca. The relationship between the bound-state overlap functions and the one-body density matrix has been used. These overlap functions are applied to calculate the cross sections of one-nucleon removal reactions such as ($e,e'p$), ($γ,p$) and ($p,d$) on $^{40}$Ca on the same theoretical footing. A consistent description of data for the different reactions is achieved. The shapes of the experimental cross sections for transitions to the $3/2^{+}$ ground state and the first $1/2^{+}$ excited state of the residual nuclei are well reproduced by the overlap functions obtained within the GCM. An additional spectroscopic factor accounting for correlations not included in the overlap function must be applied to the calculated results to reproduce the size of the experimental cross sections.

Evaluation of cluster expansions and correlated one-body properties of nuclei

Three different cluster expansions for the evaluation of correlated one-body properties of s-p and s-d shell nuclei are compared. Harmonic oscillator wave functions and Jastrow type correlations are used, while analytical expressions are obtained for the charge form factor, density distribution, and momentum distribution by truncating the expansions and using a standard Jastrow correlation function f. The harmonic oscillator parameter b and the correlation parameter βhave been determined by a least-squares fit to the experimental charge form factors in each case. The information entropy of nuclei in position-space (S_r) and momentum-space (S_k) according to the three methods are also calculated. It is found that the larger the entropy sum S=S_r+S_k (the information content of the system) the smaller the values of χ^2. This indicates that S is a criterion of the quality of a given nuclear model, according to the maximum entropy principle. Only two exceptions to this rule, out of many cases examined, were found. Finally an analytic expression for the so-called "healing" or "wound" integrals is derived with the function f considered, for any state of the relative two-nucleon motion and their values in certain cases are computed and compared.

Generator Coordinate Method Calculations for Ground and First Excited Collective States in $^{4}$He, $^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca Nuclei

The main characteristics of the ground and, in particular, the first excited monopole state in the $^{4}$He, $^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca nuclei are studied within the generator coordinate method using Skyrme-type effective forces and three construction potentials, namely the harmonic-oscillator, the square-well and Woods-Saxon potentials. Calculations of density distributions, radii, nucleon momentum distributions, natural orbitals, occupation numbers and depletions of the Fermi sea, as well as of pair density and momentum distributions are carried out. A comparison of these quantities for both ground and first excited monopole states with the available empirical data and with the results of other theoretical methods are given and discussed in detail.

Overlap functions in correlation methods and quasifree nucleon knockout from $^{16}$O

The cross sections of the ($e,e'N$) and ($γ,p$) reactions on $^{16}$O are calculated, for the transitions to the $1/2^{-}$ ground state and the first $3/2^{-}$ excited state of the residual nucleus, using single-particle overlap functions obtained on the basis of one-body density matrices within different correlation methods. The electron-induced one-nucleon knockout reaction is treated within a nonrelativistic DWIA framework. The theoretical treatment of the ($γ,p$) reaction includes both contributions of the direct knockout mechanism and of meson-exchange currents. The results are sensitive to details of the different overlap functions. The consistent analysis of the reaction cross sections and the comparison with the experimental data make it possible to study the nucleon--nucleon correlation effects.

Two-Body Density Matrix for Closed s-d Shell Nuclei

The two-body density matrix for $^{4}He,^{16}O$ and $^{40}Ca$ within the Low-order approximation of the Jastrow correlation method is considered. Closed analytical expressions for the two-body density matrix, the center of mass and relative local densities and momentum distributions are presented. The effects of the short-range correlations on the two-body nuclear characteristics are investigated.

Correlation effects in single-particle overlap functions and one-nucleon removal reactions

Single-particle overlap functions and spectroscopic factors are calculated on the basis of the one-body density matrices (ODM) obtained for the nucleus $^{16}O$ employing different approaches to account for the effects of correlations. The calculations use the relationship between the overlap functions related to bound states of the (A-1)-particle system and the ODM for the ground state of the A-particle system. The resulting bound-state overlap functions are compared and tested in the description of the experimental data from (p,d) reactions for which the shape of the overlap function is important.

Relationships between two--particle overlap functions and the two--body density matrix for many-fermion systems

Relationships are obtained connecting the two-nucleon overlap function of the eigenstates in the (A-2) particle system with the asymptotic behavior of the two-body density matrix for the ground state of the A-particle system.This makes it possible to calculate the two-body overlap functions, spectroscopic factors and separation energies on the basis of a realistic two-body density matrix. The procedure can be used in describing the (e,e'NN) and (γ, NN) reactions where the two--body overlap functions are a key ingredient in the analysis.

Full-folding optical potential for preequilibrium nucleon scattering at low energies

The real part of the optical potential for the nucleon-nucleus scattering at lower energies (E_i<100MeV) has been calculated including nucleonic and mesonic form factors by a double folding approach. Realistic density- and energy-dependent effective NN-interactions DDM3Y, BDM3Y and HLM3Y based on the Reid and Paris potentials are used in this respect. The effects of the nucleon density distribution and the average relative momentum on the folded potential have been analysed. A good agreement with the phenomenological potential of Lagrange-Lejeune, as well as with the parametrization of Jeukenne-Lejeune-Mahaux for both neutron and proton double-folded potentials is obtained. The results indicate that the strongly simplified model interactions used in preequilibrium reaction theory neglect important dynamical details of such processes.

Restoration of Overlap Functions and Spectroscopic Factors in Nuclei

An asymptotic restoration procedure is applied for analyzing bound--state overlap functions, separation energies and single--nucleon spectroscopic factors by means of a model one--body density matrix emerging from the Jastrow correlation method in its lowest order approximation for $^{16}O$ and $^{40}Ca$ nuclei . Comparison is made with available experimental data and mean--field and natural orbital representation results.

Consistent Construction of Realistic One-Body Density Matrix in Nuclei

A phenomenological method based on the natural orbital representation is applied to construct the ground state one-body density matrix which describes correctly both density and momentum distributions in $^{4}He$, $^{16}O$ and $^{40}Ca$ nuclei. The parameters of the matrix are fixed by a best fit to the experimental density distribution and to the correlated nucleon momentum distribution. The method allows the natural orbitals, the occupation probabilities and the depletion of the Fermi sea to be obtained. Ground-state characteristics of $^{4}He$, $^{16}O$ and $^{40}Ca$ nuclei, such as rms radii and mean kinetic energies are calculated, as well.

Proton momentum distribution in nuclei beyond Helium-4

Proton momentum distributions of the $^{12}C$, $^{16}O$, $^{40}Ca$, $^{56}Fe$ and $^{208}$Pb nuclei are calculated by a model using the natural orbital representation and the experimental data for the momentum distribution of the $^{4}He$ nucleus. The model allows realistic momentum distributions to be obtained using only hole-state natural orbitals (or mean-field single-particle wave functions as a good approximation to them). To demonstrate the model two different sets of wave functions were employed and the predictions were compared with the available empirical data and other theoretical results.
