Abstract

We performed fluctuation analysis by means of the local scaling dimension for the strength function of the isoscalar (IS) giant quadrupole resonance (GQR) in $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ where the strength function is obtained by the shell model calculation including 1p1h and 2p2h configurations. It is found that at almost all energy scales, fluctuation of the strength function obeys the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) random matrix theory limit. This is contrasted with the results for the GQR in $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$, where at the intermediate energy scale of about 1.7 MeV, a deviation from the GOE limit was detected. It is found that the physical origin for this different behavior of the local scaling dimension is ascribed to the difference in the properties of the damping process.

Fluctuation properties of strength functions associated with giant resonances

We performed fluctuation analysis by means of the local scaling dimension for the strength function of the isoscalar (IS) and the isovector (IV) giant quadrupole resonances in $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$, where the strength functions are obtained by the shell model calculation within up to the $2p2h$ configurations. It is found that at small energy scale, fluctuation of the strength function almost obeys the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) random matrix theory limit. On the other hand, we found a deviation from the GOE limit at the intermediate energy scale of about $1.7\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{MeV}$ for the IS and at $0.9\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{MeV}$ for the IV. The results imply that different types of fluctuations coexist at different energy scales. Detailed analysis strongly suggests that GOE fluctuation at small energy scale is due to the complicated nature of $2p2h$ states and that fluctuation at the intermediate energy scale is associated with the spreading width of the Tamm-Dancoff $1p1h$ states.

Transition strengths and quantum chaos in large shell-model spaces

José María Gómez Gómez, Kamales Kar, V. K. B. Kota +2 more

Shell-model results for the electric quadrupole $(E2),$ magnetic dipole $(M1),$ and Gamow-Teller transition strength sums and occupation numbers are calculated using different valence spaces and compared to the embedded Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (EGOE) predictions. It is shown that transition strength sums can be considered as a new statistic able to distinguish between regular and chaotic motion. Moreover it is established that the EGOE (but not the GOE) provides the good description of the shell-model strength sums in the chaotic domain. To get this result we have studied the behavior of strength sums in order to chaos transitions generated by means of a family of Hamiltonians $H(\ensuremath{\lambda})=h(1)+\ensuremath{\lambda}V(2),$ built from realistic one- and two-body interactions.

Chaos and regularity in the spectra of the low-lying dipole excitations of Cr50,52,54

Barbara Dietz, B. ALEX BROWN, U. Friman-Gayer +5 more

Recent high-resolution nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments performed on the even-even Chromium isotopes $^{50,52,54}\mathrm{Cr}$ have lead to the identification (energy, spin, parity, and transition strength) of altogether 108 nuclear levels of spin $J=1$ (70 levels with ${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}={1}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and 38 with ${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}={1}^{+}$) at excitation energies ${E}_{x}$ ranging roughly from 4.5 to 9.7 MeV. In this region just above the orbital magnetic-dipole scissors mode, sizable spin-flip magnetic-dipole strength as well as electric-dipole strength belonging to the pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) is expected. Using statistical measures for short- and long-range correlations, we perform an analysis of the fluctuation properties in the subspectra of the energy levels and also of the distributions of their respective dipole transition strengths. We compare the results with those of a random matrix ensemble interpolating between Poisson statistics generally describing the fluctuation properties in the energy spectra of many-body systems with collective, i.e., regular motion of the particles and the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) for complex (i.e., chaotic) behavior. This comparison reveals that the spectral properties of the ${1}^{+}$ states are close to the GOE results while those of the ${1}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ states are closer to Poisson. This is confirmed by an analysis of the spectral fluctuations based on the method of Bayesian inference and corroborated by large-scale shell-model and quasiparticle-phonon model calculations, respectively. The nearly Poissonian behavior of the ${1}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ levels suggests a sizable collectivity of the PDR indeed.

Isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance state in a relativistic approach with the momentum-dependent self-energies

Tomoyuki Maruyama, Satoshi Chiba

We study the excitation energy of the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance by the scaling method in the relativistic many-body framework with the momentum dependent parts of the Dirac self-energies arising from the one-pion exchange. It is shown that this momentum dependence enhances the Landau mass significantly and thus suppresses the quadrupole resonance energy while the Dirac effective mass is kept to a reasonable value.

Recent advancements in the strongly coupled many-body theory for nuclear spectral computation

Елена Литвинова

Some recent advancements of the nuclear many-body theory and selected results on nuclear giant and pygmy resonances are presented. The theory is compactly reviewed, with a special focus on the emergent scale of the quasiparticle-vibration coupling (qPVC), which carries the order parameter associated with the qPVC vertex, and an efficient treatment of the nuclear many-body problem organized around the qPVC hierarchy. Self-consistent numerical solutions of the relativistic Bethe-Salpeter-Dyson equation for the nuclear response function in medium-heavy nuclei are discussed. The presented update on the pygmy dipole resonance focuses on establishing the formation of its two-component structure as a result of the fragmentation of the low-energy dipole mode due to the qPVC and its mixing with the similarly fragmented giant dipole resonance. The centroid of the isoscalar giant monopole resonance is also linked to qPVC effects, particularly to its sensitivity to the coupling of the collective breathing mode to the lowest quadrupole vibrations, which is enhanced by quadrupole collectivity. The resolution of the long-standing "fluffiness" puzzle regarding the compressibility of open-shell tin isotopes is summarized. The recently developed thermal variant of the superfluid response theory is briefly introduced and continuously linked to the description of the isoscalar monopole response at finite temperature with the prospect of refining the temperature-dependent nuclear equation of state.
