Self-consistent random-phase approximation at finite temperature within the Richardson model

Nguyen Dinh Dang, K. Tanabe

The self-consistent random-phase approximation (SCRPA) is extended to nonzero temperature. Within the SCRPA, the collective dynamics of nucleon pairs is built on the occupation numbers that deviate from the Fermi-Dirac distribution as a result of temperature-dependent correlations beyond the RPA. The equations for single-particle occupation numbers are derived using the method of the double-time Green's functions. The approach is applied to the Richardson model of pairing. The results of numerical calculations for energies of states and occupation numbers, as well as for the thermodynamic quantities such as the excitation energy and heat capacity of the system, are compared with those obtained within the conventional RPA and the perturbative thermal SCRPA and with the exact results. We find that, overall, the SCRPA offers a better agreement with the exact results.

Self-consistent RPA with multilevel pairing model at finite temperature

Aleksej Nikolaevich Storozhenko, A.I. Vdovin, Peter Schuck

A self-consistent version of the thermal random phase approximation (TSCRPA) is developed within the Matsubara Green’s function formalism. The TSCRPA is applied to the many-level pairing model, and the normal phase of the system is considered. The TSCRPA results are compared with the exact ones calculated for the grand canonical ensemble. Advantages of the TSCRPA over the thermal mean-field approximation and the standard thermal random phase approximation are demonstrated. Results for correlation functions, excitation energies, etc., as a function of temperature are presented.

Particle-number conservation within self-consistent random-phase approximation

Nguyen Dinh Dang

The self-consistent random-phase approximation (SCRPA) is reexamined within a multilevel-pairing model with double degeneracy. It is shown that the expressions for occupation numbers used in the original version of the SCRPA violate the particle number for nonsymmetric particle-hole (ph) spectra. A renormalization is introduced to restore the particle number, which leads to the expressions of occupation numbers similar to those derived by Hara et al. for the ph case. The results of calculations within the ph symmetric case show that this number-conserving SCRPA yields the energies of the ground state and the first excited state of the system with $\ensuremath{\Omega}+2$ particles relative to the ground state of the system with $\ensuremath{\Omega}$ particles in close agreement with those obtained within the original SCRPA. However, it gives a slightly larger correlation energy.
