Comparison of techniques for computing shell-model effective operators

Different techniques for calculating effective operators within the framework of the shell model using the same effective interaction and the same excitation spaces are presented. Starting with the large-basis no-core approach, we compare the time-honored perturbation-expansion approach and a model-space truncation approach. Results for the electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole operators are presented for $^6$Li. The convergence trends and dependence of the effective operators on differing excitation spaces and Pauli Q-operators is studied. In addition, the dependence of the electric-quadrupole effective charge on the harmonic-oscillator frequency and the mass number, for A=5,6, is investigated in the model-space truncation approach.

Microscopic origins of effective charges in the shell model

We use a large-scale 6 hbar Omega calculation for Li6 with microscopically derived two-body interaction to construct the 0 hbar Omega 0p-shell effective hamiltonian, electric quadrupole, and magnetic dipole operators. While the E2 and M1 6 hbar Omega operators are one-body operators with free nucleon charges, the effective operators are two-body operators with substantially different renormalization for the isoscalar and isovector matrix elements, especially for the E2 operator. We show that these operators can be very well approximated by one-body operators provided that effective proton and neutron charges are used. The obtained effective charges are compatible with those used in phenomenological shell-model studies. The two-body part of the effective operators is estimated.
