Coupled equations for even and odd particle number correlation functions are set up via the equation of motion method. For the even particle number case this leads to self-consistent RPA (SCRPA) equations already known from the literature. From the equations of the odd particle number case the single particle occupation probabilities are obtained in a self-consistent way. This is the essential new procedure of this work. Both, even and odd particle number cases are based on the same correlated vacuum and, thus, are coupled equations. Applications to the Lipkin model and the 1D Hubbard model give very good results.
The Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon or Time-Dependent Density Matrix (TDDM) hierarchy of equations for higher density matrices is truncated at the three body level in approximating the three body correlation function by a quadratic form of two body ones, closing the equations in this way. The procedure is discussed in detail and it is shown in non-trivial model cases that the approximate inclusion of three body correlation functions is very important to obtain precise results. A small amplitude approximation of this time dependent nonlinear equation for the two body correlation function is…
Mixing single and triple fermions an exact killing operator of the Coupled Cluster Doubles (CCD) wave function with good symmetry was found in \cite{Tohy13}. Using these operators with the equation of motion (EOM) method the so-called self-consistent odd particle number random phase approximation (odd-RPA) was set up. Together with the stationarity condition of the two body density matrix it is shown that the killing conditions allow to reduce the order of correlation functions contained in the matrix elements of the odd-RPA equations to a fully self consistent equation for the single particle…
Self-Consistent RPA is rederived in a consistent way with the help of the Coupled Cluster ground state wave function truncated at the two body level. An exact killing operator for this wave function is introduced allowing for a detailed discussion of the approximation scheme. Several exactly solvable models are reanalyzed under this new perspective giving raise to a quantitative evaluation of the performances of this many body method.
In the random-phase-approximation-amended (RPA-amended) Nilsson-Strutinskij method of calculating nuclear binding energies, the conventional shell correction terms derived from the independent-nucleon model and the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer pairing theory are supplemented by a term which accounts for the pair-vibrational correlation energy. This term is derived by means of the RPA from a pairing Hamiltonian which includes a neutron-proton pairing interaction. The method was used previously in studies of the pattern of binding energies of nuclei with approximately equal numbers $N$ and $Z$ of n…
We investigate the applicability of finite temperature random phase approximation (RPA) using a solvable Lipkin model. We show that the finite temperature RPA reproduces reasonably well the temperature dependence of total strength, both for the positive energy (i.e., the excitation) and the negative energy (i.e., the de-excitation) parts. This is the case even at very low temperatures, which may be relevant to astrophysical purposes.
Spectra of levels and transition rates are calculated for the odd--odd particle--hole neutron excess nucleus $^{132}$In in the framework of the RPA approach.
The self-consistent quasiparticle RPA (SCQRPA) is constructed to study the effects of fluctuations on pairing properties in nuclei at finite temperature and z-projection M of angular momentum. Particle-number projection (PNP) is taken into account within the Lipkin-Nogami method. Several issues such as the smoothing of superfluid-normal phase transition, thermally assisted pairing in hot rotating nuclei, extraction of the nuclear pairing gap using an improved odd-even mass difference are discussed. A novel approach of embedding the PNP SCQRPA eigenvalues in the canonical and microcanonical ens…
Parity and time-reversal violating electric dipole moment (EDM) of $^{171}$Yb is calculated accounting for the electron correlation effects over the Dirac-Hartree-Fock (DHF) method in the relativistic Rayleigh-Schrödinger many-body perturbation theory, with the second (MBPT(2) method) and third order (MBPT(3) method) approximations, and two variants of all-order relativistic many-body approaches, in the random phase approximation (RPA) and coupled-cluster (CC) method with singles and doubles (CCSD method) framework. We consider electron-nucleus tensor-pseudotensor (T-PT) and nuclear Schiff mom…
Exactly solvable solution for the spherical to gamma - unstable transition in transitional nuclei based on dual algebraic structure and nuclear supersymmetry concept is proposed. The duality relations between the unitary and quasispin algebraic structures for the boson and fermion systems are extended to mixed boson-fermion system. It is shown that the relation between the even-even and odd-A neighbors implied by nuclear supersymmetry in addition to dynamical symmetry limits can be also used for transitional regions. The experimental evidences are presented for even- even [E(5)] and odd-mass […
