Abstract

The response of superfluid spherical nuclei to an external quadrupole field is considered. The mixed (r,λ) representation technique is developed, being the generalization of the coordinate (r) representation for magic nuclei. The transition densities p^tr(r) are shown to possess sharp surface bumps of hydrodynamical nature and pronounced volume quantum components. The shapes of transition densities of 2⁺₂ states in some typical nonmagic nuclei are predicted.

Beta-decay rates
2006, Nuclear Physics A
Major astrophysical applications involve a huge number of exotic nuclei. Their beta-decay properties play a crucial role in stellar explosive events. An important effort has been developed in last decades to measure the masses and β-decay properties of very neutron-rich nuclei at radioactive nuclear beam facilities. However, most of them cannot be synthesized in terrestrial laboratories and only theoretical predictions can fill the gap. We will concentrate mainly on the β-decay rates needed for stellar r-process modeling and for performing the RNB experiments. An overview of the microscopic approaches to the β-decay strength function is given. The continuum QRPA approach based on the self-consistent ground state description in the framework of the density functional theory is outlined. For the first time, a systematic study of the total β-decay half-lives and delayed neutron emission probabilities takes into account the Gamow–Teller and first-forbidden transitions. Due to the shell configuration effects, the first-forbidden decays have a strong impact on the β-decay characteristics of the r-process relevant nuclei at $Z \approx 28$ , $N > 50$ ; $Z ⩾ 50$ , $N > 82$ and $Z = 60 – 70$ , $N \approx 126$ . Suppression of the delayed neutron emission probability is found in nuclei with the neutron excess bigger than one major shell. The effect originates from the high-energy first-forbidden transitions to the states outside the $(Q_{β} - B_{n})$ -window in the daughter nuclei. The performance of existing global models for the nuclides near the r-process paths is critically analyzed and confronted with the recent RIB experiments in the regions of ⁷⁸Ni, ¹³²Sn and “east” of ²⁰⁸Pb.
Continuum linear response in coordinate space Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov formalism for collective excitations in drip-line nuclei
2001, Nuclear Physics A
We formulate a continuum linear response theory on the basis of the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov formalism in the coordinate space representation in order to describe low-lying and high-lying collective excitations which couple to one-particle and two-particle continuum states. Numerical analysis is done for the neutron drip-line nucleus ²⁴O. A low-lying collective mode that emerges above the continuum threshold with large neutron strength is analyzed. The collective state is sensitive to the density-dependence of the pairing. The present theory satisfies accurately the energy weighted sum rule. This is guaranteed by treating the pairing self-consistently both in the static HFB and in the dynamical linear response equation.
Many-body corrections to the nuclear anapole moment II
2000, Nuclear Physics A
The contribution of many-body effects to the nuclear anapole moment were studied earlier by V.F. Dmitriev, V.B. Telitsin, Nucl. Phys. A 613 (1997) 237. Here, more accurate calculation of the many-body contributions is presented, which goes beyond the constant density approximation for them used in ibid. The effects of pairing are now included. The accuracy of the zero range limit of the parity violating nuclear forces is discussed.
Microscopic description of the excitation of some states in the 90,92,94,96Zr isotopes
1996, Nuclear Physics A
We describe the application of a realistic self-consistent theory of finite Fermi systems to the ground and low excited states of the ^90,92,94,96Zr isotopes. Results were obtained for the ground, 2₁⁺ and 3₁⁻ states in each nucleus, and for the lowest 4⁺, 5⁻, 6⁺ and 8⁺ states in ⁹⁰Zr. Transition densities were generated for the excitation of each of these states and their properties examined. Transition potentials for their excitation by hadronic inelastic scattering were constructed by folding with appropriate interactions between the projectile and each target nucleon. The calculated inelastic scattering cross sections are compared in detail with experimental results, particularly those for alpha particles at 35.4 MeV and ⁶Li at 70 MeV. The implications of any discrepancies found are discussed. In addition, the theoretical results were used as “experimental” data in order to test the validity of using various simple models for the analysis of data.
Microscopic description of low-lying one- and two-phonon states and application to 96Zr
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section A
A self-consistent approach to finite Fermi systems is expanded for the description of two-phonon states in non-magic nuclei with weak anharmonicity. It is based on a density-functional approach, the quasi-particle random-phase approximation (QRPA) and the Green's function method, the latter enabling one to calculate the diagrams of the phonon-phonon interaction in the coordinate representation. This approach is applied to the low-lying excitations in ⁹⁶Zr. The transition density of the two-phonon state [3₁⁻⊗3₁⁻]₆₊ in ⁹⁶Zr is calculated. It is shown that interplay of one-phonon and two-phonon configurations may lead to the origin of two 6⁺ states with strongly different excitation probabilities. Mixing coefficients and energy splitting of these states are estimated microscopically. The transition probabilities of the one-phonon states 3₁⁻ and 6⁺ and the mixing coefficients of the one- and two-phonon 6⁺ states resulting from the microscopic calculations are used as input for DWBA and coupled-channels calculations for inelastic scattering of 22 MeV polarized deuterons. Calculated cross sections for the 6⁺ states are compared with experimental data.
Transition charge densities of low-lying collective states in 196Pt from inelastic electron scattering
1992, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Differential cross sections for levels in the excitation-energy range from 0 to 3.0 MeV in ¹⁹⁶Pt have been measured by inelastic electron scattering in a momentum-transfer range up to 2.5 fm⁻¹. The ground-state charge density and the transition charge densities of nine low-lying collective levels have been extracted in a Fourier-Bessel analysis of these data. The densities are compared with those obtained from microscopic calculations within the quasiparticle phonon model, using the single-particle basis obtained from a density functional approach. Satisfactory agreement has been obtained, in spite of the complicated structure of ¹⁹⁶Pt.
