Comprehensive application of a coupled-channel complex scaling method to the KbarN-piY system

We have applied the coupled-channel complex scaling method (ccCSM) to K^{bar}N-πY system. One advantage of ccCSM is that resonant states as well as scattering states can be treated in the same framework. For the interactions in the system, we have constructed a meson-baryon potential-matrix by basing on the chiral SU(3) theory and respecting the K^{bar}N scattering length obtained in the Martin's analysis. For future purpose to apply it more complicated system such as K^{bar}NN, we adopt a local Gaussian form in the r-space. We have investigated both the non-relativistic (NR) and the semi-relativistic (SR) kinematics. In the SR case, two types of the potentials are obtained. To test the constructed potentials, we have calculated scattering amplitudes and searched resonances. One resonance pole, corresponding to Λ(1405), is found in isospin I=0 system around (1419, -20) MeV ((1425, -25) or (1419, -13) MeV) on complex-energy plane with the NR (SR) kinematics. Mean distance between meson and baryon in the resonant state is 1.3 - i0.3 fm (1.2 - i0.5 fm) for NR (SR), in which the states are treated as Gamow states. In addition, we have observed a signature of another pole in lower-energy region involving large decay width, although they are unstable against the change of scaling angle θ. This may correspond to the lower pole of the double-pole of Λ(1405) discussed in literature to date.

Five-body resonances of 8C using the complex scaling method

We study the resonance spectroscopy of the proton-rich nucleus 8C in the alpha+p+p+p+p cluster model. Many-body resonances are treated on the correct boundary condition as the Gamow states using the complex scaling method. We obtain the ground state of 8C as a five-body resonance for the first time, which has dominantly the sub-closed (p_{3/2})^4 configuration and agrees with the recent experiment for energy and decay width. We predict the second 0+ state with the excitation energy of 5.6 MeV, which corresponds to the $2p2h$ state from the ground state. We evaluate the occupation numbers of four valence-protons in the 8C states and also the J^πdistribution of proton-pair numbers of the two 0+ states of 8C. The ground state involves a large amount of the 2+ proton-pair fraction, while the excited 0+_2 state almost consists of two of the 0+ proton pairs, which can be understood from the (p_{3/2})^2(p_{1/2})^2 configuration. We also discuss the mirror symmetry between 8C and 8He with an alpha+four nucleon picture. It is found that the 0+ states retain the mirror symmetry well for the configuration properties of two nuclei.

Coulomb breakup reactions of $^{11}$Li in the coupled-channel $^9$Li~+~$n$~+~$n$ three-body model

We investigate the three-body Coulomb breakup of a two-neutron halo nucleus $^{11}$Li. We use the coupled-channel $^9$Li + $n$ + $n$ three-body model, which includes the coupling between last neutron states and the various $2p$-$2h$ configurations in $^9$Li due to the tensor and pairing correlations. The three-body scattering states of $^{11}$Li are described by using the combined methods of the complex scaling and the Lippmann-Schwinger equation. The calculated breakup cross section successfully reproduces the experiments. The large mixing of the s-state in the halo ground state of $^{11}$Li is shown to play an important role in explanation of shape and strength of the breakup cross section. In addition, we predict the invariant mass spectra for binary subsystems of $^{11}$Li. It is found that the two kinds of virtual s-states of $^9$Li-$n$ and $n$-$n$ systems in the final three-body states of $^{11}$Li largely contribute to make low-lying peaks in the invariant mass spectra. On the other hand, in the present analysis, it is suggested that the contributions of the p-wave resonances of $^{10}$Li is hardly confirmed in the spectra.

Interplay between the 0+_2 resonance and the nonresonant continuum of the drip-line two-neutron halo nucleus 22C

The breakup cross section (BUX) of 22C by 12C at 250 MeV/nucleon is evaluated by the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method incorporating the cluster-orbital shell model (COSM) wave functions. Contributions of the low-lying 0+_2 and 2+_1 resonances predicted by COSM to the BUX are investigated. The 2+_1 resonance gives a narrow peak in the BUX, as in usual resonant reactions, whereas the 0+_2 resonant cross section has a peculiar shape due to the coupling to the nonresonant continuum, i.e., the Fano effect. By changing the scattering angle of 22C after the breakup, a variety of shapes of the 0+_2 resonant cross sections is obtained. Mechanism of the appearance of the sizable Fano effect in the breakup of 22C is discussed.

Tensor-optimized shell model for the Li isotopes with a bare nucleon-nucleon interaction

We study the Li isotopes systematically in terms of the tensor-optimized shell model (TOSM) by using a bare nucleon-nucleon interaction as the AV8' interaction. The short-range correlation is treated in the unitary correlation operator method (UCOM). Using the TOSM+UCOM approach, we investigate the role of the tensor force on each spectrum of the Li isotopes. It is found that the tensor force produces quite a characteristic effect on various states in each spectrum and those spectra are affected considerably by the tensor force. The energy difference between the spin-orbit partner, the p1/2 and p3/2 orbits of the last neutron, in 5Li is caused by opposite roles of the tensor correlation. In 6Li, the spin-triplet state in the LS coupling configuration is favored energetically by the tensor force in comparison with jj coupling shell model states. In 7,8,9Li, the low-lying states containing extra neutrons in the p3/2 orbit are favored energetically due to the large tensor contribution to allow the excitation from the 0s orbit to the p1/2 orbit by the tensor force. Those three nuclei show the jj coupling character in their ground states which is different from 6Li.

Four-body resonances of 7B using the complex scaling method

We study the resonance spectroscopy of the proton-rich nucleus 7B in the 4He+p+p+p cluster model. Many-body resonances are treated on the correct boundary condition as the Gamow states using the complex scaling method. We predict five resonances of 7B and evaluate the spectroscopic factors of the 6Be-p components. The importance of the 6Be(2+)-p component is shown in several states of 7B, which is a common feature of 7He, a mirror nucleus of 7B. For only the ground state of 7B, the mixing of 6Be(2+) state is larger than that of 6He(2+) in 7He, which indicates the breaking of the mirror symmetry. This is caused by the small energy difference between 7B and the excited 6Be(2+) state, whose origin is the Coulomb repulsion.

Role of the tensor interaction in He isotopes with a tensor-optimized shell model

We studied the role of the tensor interaction in He isotopes systematically on the basis of the tensor-optimized shell model (TOSM). We use a bare nucleon-nucleon interaction AV8 obtained from nucleon-nucleon scattering data. The short-range correlation is treated in the unitary correlation operator method (UCOM). Using the TOSM+UCOM approach, we investigate the role of tensor interaction on each spectrum in He isotopes. It is found that the tensor interaction enhances the LS splitting energy observed in 5He, in which the p1/2 and p3/2 orbits play different roles on the tensor correlation. In {6,7,8}He, the low-lying states containing extra neutrons in the p3/2 orbit gain the tensor contribution. On the other hand, the excited states containing extra neutrons in the p1/2 orbit lose the tensor contribution due to the Pauli-blocking effect with the 2p2h states in the 4He core configuration.

Tensor-optimized few-body model for s-shell nuclei

As a new scheme of treating the tensor interaction of the nucleon-nucleon interaction, there is a proposal of a tensor-optimized shell-model (TOSM) for the study of medium and heavy nuclei. The TOSM includes the deuteron-like tensor correlation and provides quite a good reproduction of the binding energy and the size of $^4$He as compared with rigorous few body calculations. We propose a tensor-optimized few-body model (TOFM) using the spirit of the TOSM approximation in the few body framework with bare nucleon-nucleon interaction. We find that the TOFM can account for the strength of the tensor interaction very well and almost reproduces the full energy and various energy components as compared with rigorous few body calculations.

Five-body resonances of 8He using the complex scaling method

The 0+ states of 8He are studied in a five-body 4He+n+n+n+n cluster model. Many-body resonances are treated on the correct boundary condition as Gamow states using the complex scaling method. The 0+_2 state of 8He is predicted as a five-body resonance in the excitation energy of 6.3 MeV with a width of 3.2 MeV, which mainly has a (p_{3/2})^2(p_{1/2})^2 configuration. In this state, number of the 0+ neuron pair shows almost two, which is different from the ground state having a large amount of the 2+ pair component. The monopole transition of 8He from the ground state into the five-body unbound states is also evaluated. It is found that the 7He+n component mostly exhausts the strength, while the 0+_2 contribution is negligible. The final states are dominated by 6He+n+n, not 4He+n+n+n+n. The results indicate the sequential breakup process of 8He to 7He+n to 6He+n+n by the monopole excitation.

Resonances and continuum states of drip-line nuclei using the complex scaling method

Resonances and continuum states of He isotopes are investigated using the cluster orbital shell model (COSM) with the complex scaling method (CSM). We discuss the following subjects: 1) Spectroscopic factors of the unbound nucleus 7He into the 6He-n components and their relation to the one-neutron removal strengths of 7He. The importance of the 6He(2+) resonance is shown. 2) Structure of five-body 0+ resonance of 8He from the viewpoint of the two-neutron pair coupling. The monopole strengths into five-body unbound states are also investigated. It is found that the sequential breakup process of 8He \to 7He+n \to 6He+n+n is dominant in the monopole excitation, while the contribution of 8He(0+_2) is negligible.

Di-neutron clustering and deuteron-like tensor correlation in nuclear structure focusing on 11Li

11Li is a Borromean nucleus, where two out of three objects as 9Li + n and two neutrons independently do not form bound systems. Two neutrons should form a di-neutron cluster in the nuclear field generated by the 9Li core nucleus. We treat di-neutron clustering by solving the two neutron relative wave function precisely by using the bare nucleon-nucleon interaction so that the spatial clustering structure is obtained quantitatively within the whole 11Li nucleus. This di-neutron clustering is an essential dynamics to form the halo structure by making a compact di-neutron cluster, which distributes loosely around the 9Li core. The di-neutron clustering is a new concept and is a general phenomenon in neutron skin and neutron halo nuclei. This quantitative description of di-neutron clustering has made it necessary to consider another important deuteron-like tensor correlation, which is caused by strong tensor interaction in the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The tensor interaction originates from pion exchange and known to provide large attraction to form the 4He nucleus. The unique feature of the tensor correlation is to make highly correlated deuteron-like excitation, which interferes with shell model like structure in a unique way. This dynamical effect removes the magic number effect and makes easy the participation of the s-wave neutrons. Hence, there are pairing and deuteron-like tensor correlations in addition to the mean field structure in 9Li. The combined system of two additional neutrons with the correlated 9Li provides the halo phenomenon, in which the di-neutron clustering develops with the help of large s-wave component caused by the deuteron-like tensor correlation. In this lecture note, we would like to introduce these two new concepts in a systematic manner and fill a gap between the halo phenomenon and the microscopic reason for this interesting phenomenon.

One-neutron removal strength of 7He into 6He using the complex scaling method

We study the one-neutron removal strength of the 7He ground state, which provides us with the 6He-n component in 7He. The He isotopes are described on the basis of the 4He+Xn cluster model (X=1,2,3). The complex scaling method is applied to describe not only the Gamow resonances but also the nonresonant continuum states of valence neutrons, with the correct boundary condition of particle decays. The one-neutron removal strength of 7He into the unbound states of 6He is calculated using the complex-scaled Green's function, in which a complex-scaled complete set of 4He+n+n states is adopted. Using this framework, we investigate resonant and nonresonant contributions of the strength, which individually produce specific structures in the distributions. In addition, we propose a method to obtain the real-value strength using the complex values of spectroscopic factors of Gamow states. As a result, the 6He(2+) resonance is found to give the largest contribution.

Coulomb Breakup Reactions in Complex-Scaled Solutions of the Lippmann-Schwinger Equation

We propose a new method to describe three-body breakups of nuclei, in which the Lippmann-Schwinger equation is solved combining with the complex scaling method. The complex-scaled solutions of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation (CSLS) enables us to treat boundary conditions of many-body open channels correctly and to describe a many-body breakup amplitude from the ground state. The Coulomb breakup cross section from the 6He ground state into 4He+n+n three-body decaying states as a function of the total excitation energy is calculated by using CSLS, and the result well reproduces the experimental data. Furthermore, the two-dimensional energy distribution of the E1 transition strength is obtained and an importance of the 5He(3/2-) resonance is confirmed. It is shown that CSLS is a promising method to investigate correlations of subsystems in three-body breakup reactions of the weakly-bound nuclei.

Tensor-optimized shell model with bare nucleon-nucleon interaction for 4He

The pion exchange between nucleons generates a strong tensor interaction, which provides a large attractive contribution for the binding energy of nucleus. This non central tensor interaction is difficult to handle in the shell model framework, which hinders full understanding of nuclear structure. We develop the tensor-optimized shell model (TOSM) for the strong tensor interaction and now we are able to use bare nucleon-nucleon interaction with the help of the unitary correlation operator method (UCOM) for the short-range hard core. We adopt the nucleon-nucleon interaction, AV8', and calculate explicitly the ground state of $^4$He and make a detailed comparison with rigorous few-body model calculations. We show a large amount of success of the tensor-optimized shell model with bare nucleon-nucleon interaction for 4He.

Systematic study of $^{9,10,11}$Li with the tensor and pairing correlations

We make a systematic study of Li isotopes (A=9,10,11) in the tensor optimized shell model for 9Li and treat the additional valence neutrons in the cluster model approach by taking into account the Pauli-blocking effect caused by the tensor and pairing correlations. We describe the tensor correlations in 9Li fully in the tensor-optimized shell model, where the variation of the size parameters of the single particle orbits is essential for getting strong tensor correlations. We have shown in our previous study that in $^{10,11}$Li the tensor and pairing correlations in 9Li are Pauli-blocked by additional valence neutrons, which make the p-shell configurations pushed up in energy. As a result, the $s^2$ valence neutron component increases to reveal the halo structure of 11Li and the inversion phenomenon of the single particle spectrum in 10Li arises. Following the previous study, we demonstrate the reliability of our framework by performing a detailed systematic analysis of the structures of $^{9,10,11}$Li, such as the charge radius, the spatial correlation of halo neutrons of 11Li and the electromagnetic properties of Li isotopes. The detailed effects of the Pauli-blocking on the spectroscopic properties of $^{10,11}$Li are also discussed. It is found that the blocking acts strongly for the 11Li ground state rather than for 10Li and for the dipole excited states of 11Li, which is mainly caused by the interplay between the tensor correlation in 9Li and the halo neutrons. The results obtained in these analyses clearly show that the inert core assumption of 9Li is not realistic to explain the anomalous structures observed in $^{10,11}$Li. For the dipole excitation spectrum of 11Li, the effect of the final state interactions is discussed in terms of the dipole strength function.

Resonances of 7He in the complex scaling method

We study the resonance spectroscopy of 7He in the 4He+n+n+n cluster model, where the motion of valence neutrons is described in the cluster orbital shell model. Many-body resonances are treated on the correct boundary condition as the Gamow states in the complex scaling method. We obtain five resonances and investigate their properties from the configurations. In particular, the 1/2- state is found in a low excitation energy of 1.1 MeV with a width of 2.2 MeV, while the experimental determination of the position of this state is not so clear. We also evaluate the spectroscopic factors of the 6He-n components in the obtained 7He resonances. The importance of the 6He(2+) state is shown in several states of 7He.

Roles of the tensor and pairing correlations on the halo formation in 11Li

We study the roles of the tensor and pairing correlations on the halo formation in 11Li with an extended 9Li+n+n model. We first solve the ground state of 9Li in the shell model basis by taking 2p-2h states using the Gaussian functions with variational size parameters to take into account the tensor correlation fully. In 11Li, the tensor and pairing correlations in 9Li are Pauli-blocked by additional two neutrons, which work coherently to make the configurations containing the 0p1/2 state pushed up and close to those containing the 1s1/2 state. Hence, the pairing interaction works efficiently to mix the two configurations by equal amount and develop the halo structure in 11Li. For 10Li, the inversion phenomenon of s- and p-states is reproduced in the same framework. Our model furthermore explains the recently observed Coulomb breakup strength and charge radius for 11Li.

Tensor correlation in 4He with the tensor-optimized shell model

We study the characteristics of the tensor correlation in $^4$He using a shell model type method. We treat the tensor force explicitly by performing a configuration-mixing calculation in the $2p2h$ basis and include single-particle states up to intermediately high angular momenta. We adopt the Gaussian expansion method for the quantitative description of the spatial shrinkage of the single-particle states to optimize the tensor correlation. We are able to describe the full strength of the tensor correlation for $^4$He in the shell model type method by realizing convergence. We call this model the tensor-optimized shell model. It is found that in $^4$He, three specific $2p2h$ configurations are strongly coupled with the $(0s)^4$ configuration due to the characteristic features of the tensor operator.
