Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of spectroscopic overlaps in $A \leq 7$ nuclei

We present Green's function Monte Carlo calculations of spectroscopic overlaps for $A \leq 7$ nuclei. The realistic Argonne v18 two-nucleon and Illinois-7 three-nucleon interactions are used to generate the nuclear states. The overlap matrix elements are extrapolated from mixed estimates between variational Monte Carlo and Green's function Monte Carlo wave functions. The overlap functions are used to obtain spectroscopic factors and asymptotic normalization coefficients, and they can serve as an input for low-energy reaction calculations.

Two-neutron overlap functions for 6He from a microscopic structure model

A fully antisymmetrized microscopic model is developed for light two-neutron halo nuclei using a hyper-spherical basis to describe halo regions. The many-body wavefunction is optimized variationally. The model is applied to 6He bound by semi realistic Minnesota nucleon-nucleon forces. The two-neutron separation energy and the radius of the halo are reproduced in agreement with experiment. Antisymmetrization effects between 4He and halo neutrons are found to be crucial for binding of 6He. We also properly extract two-neutron overlap functions and find that there is a significant increase of 30%-70% in their normalization due to microscopic effects as compared to the results of three-body models.

Effects of deformation in the three-body structure of 11Li

11Li is studied within a three-body model 9Li+n+n where the core is allowed to be deformed and/or excite. In particular, we include reorientation couplings and couplings between the two bound states of 9Li. Contrary to the other examples studied within this model, we find that core excitation does not affect the structure of 11Li significantly. Reorientation couplings of the deformed 9Li can change the ground state of 11Li from a predominantly two neutron s1/2^2 configuration into a p1/2^2. In addition, we see no evidence for the existence of significant d-wave strength in its ground state, as opposed to the prediction by shell model. A comparison with shell model is presented.
