Barrier penetration and spontaneous fission in the time-dependent mean-field approximation

Shimon Levit, John W. Negele, Zvi Paltiel

A mean-field theory is obtained for the spontaneous decay of unstable nuclei by applying the stationary-phase approximation to a functional integral expression for $\mathrm{Tr}{(H\ensuremath{-}E)}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. The method is applied first to the lifetime of a metastable state in one-dimensional quantum mechanics and subsequently generalized to many-fermion systems. Solutions to the resulting nonlinear self-consistent field equations are presented for a self-bound, saturating many-body system of fermions in one spatial dimension.NUCLEAR REACTIONS, FISSION Derivation of dynamical mean-field equations for spontaneous fission, using imaginary time stationary-phase approximation to a functional integral expression for $\mathrm{Tr}{(H\ensuremath{-}E)}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$.

Path integrals for the nuclear many-body problem

Jean-Paul Blaizot, Henri Orland

We present a general method for constructing path intergrals for the nuclear many-body problem. This method uses continuous and overcomplete sets of vectors in the Hilbert space. The state labels play the role of classical coordinates which are quantized as bosons. The equations of motion for the classical coordinates are obtained by calculating the functional integral in the saddle point approximation. In the particular case where the over-complete set considered is the set of all Slater determinants, the classical equations of motion are the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations. The functional integral provides a way of requantizing these classical equations. This quantization involves boson degrees of freedom and is in some cases very similar to the method of boson expansion. It is shown that the functional integral formalism provides a unifying framework to describe various approaches to the nuclear many-body problem.NUCLEAR STRUCTURE Functional integrals on continuous over-complete sets.

Functional Integrals and Variational-Cumulant Expansion in sine-Gordon-Thirring Model

Jun Yan

The free energy in 1D sine-Gordon-Thirring model with impurity coupling is studied by means of functional integrals and variational-cumulant expansion methods. Two variational parameters are introduced to evaluate free energy and statistical averages. It is shown that the non-perturbation method of functional integrals can be applied to strong-coupling range of fermion systems.
