Physical Review C

Dynamic response function and large-amplitude dissipative collective motion

Abstract

Aiming at exploring microscopic dynamics responsible for the dissipative large-amplitude collective motion, the dynamic response and correlation functions are introduced within the general theory of nuclear coupled-master equations. The theory is based on the microscopic theory of nuclear collective dynamics which has been developed within the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory for disclosing the complex structure of the TDHF manifold. A systematic numerical method for calculating the dynamic response and correlation functions is proposed. By performing numerical calculation for a simple model Hamiltonian, it is pointed out that the dynamic response function gives important information in understanding the large-amplitude dissipative collective motion which is described by an ensemble of trajectories within the TDHF manifold.

Collective, Dissipative and Stochastic Motions in the TDHF Theory

K. Muramatsu, Fumihiko Sakata, Y. Yamamoto +1 more

By applying the microscopic theory of dynamical collective submanifold, which has been formulated by the present authors, to a system with a simple model Hamiltonian, characteristic features of large-amplitude motion described by the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory are visualized. Our theory dynamically defines an “optimum” submanifold out of the TDHF symplectic manifold (phase space) in such a way that the Hamiltonian on the submanifold is stationary with respect to variations perpendicular to it. The theory also classifies the submanifold into three different regions in terms of stablility and separability conditions. It is displayed that these three regions characterize collective, dissipative and stochastic motions in the TDHF theory.

Concept of Dynamical Collective Submanifold for Large-Amplitude Collective Motion in the TDHF Theory

Fumihiko Sakata, Toshio Marumori, Yukio Hashimoto +2 more

A systematic microscopic theory of large-amplitude collective motion, which has been recently developed within the framework of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory under INS-TSUKUBA joint research project, is reformulated in terms of classical mechanics in the TDHF symplectic manifold. This reformulation clarifies an essential concept in the theory, i.e., an approximate integral surface in the TDHF manifold, which is identified as a dynamical collective submanifold for the large-amplitude collective motion. It is shown that the approximate integral surface must satisfy three dynamical conditions; (a) a stationary condition (i.e., a maximal-decoupling condition), (b) a stability condition and (c) a separability condition between collective and “local” non-collective modes of motion. These three dynamical conditions make clear the concept of “local” intrinsic modes of motion and guarantee that the TDHF-trajectory representing the large-amplitude collective motion under consideration is successfully reproduced on the approximate integral surface.

Coherent state theory of large amplitude collective motion

DAVID J. ROWE, R. Bassermann

A theory of large amplitude collective motion of a many-particle system is presented, which is relevant, for example, to nuclear fission. The theory is a combination of techniques used in many areas of physics and mathematics. The starting point is the application of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation to generate invariant subspaces of the Hamiltonian in the Hartree–Fock approximation. This is a generalization of the group-theoretical device of generating orbits of a group in the construction of reduced representations. It is shown how solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation can be expressed as instantaneous stationary states of a constrained static Hamiltonian. Thus contact is made with the traditional cranking models and constrained Hartree–Fock theories of large amplitude collective motion. The collective motion is quantized using the Hill–Wheeler–Griffin method of generator coordinates in a basis of generalized coherent states. One is thereby able to exploit much of the theory of harmonic oscillator coherent states, which have been so successfully used in the quantum theory of the laser. The resulting Schrödinger equation for the collective dynamics is expressed both in the Bargmann representation and in the more familiar Schrödinger representation. It is shown that solution of the Schrödinger equation in the small amplitude harmonic approximation reproduces the well-known RPA result. A pilot calculation for 28Si shows that application in large amplitude is also feasible.

Dynamic realization of statistical state in finite systems

Xi-Zhen Wu, Fumihiko Sakata, Yizhong Zhuo +2 more

Evolution of the large-amplitude dissipative collective motion in a simple soluble model is studied within the time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory, by using a general microscopic transport theory, which optimally divides the total system into the collective and intrinsic subsystems. Even though the total system reaches some statistical stationary state, it is shown that the subsystem cannot alone remain stationary by being separated from the other subsystem, when they are strongly correlated with each other. Dynamic response functions are used in exploring an instantaneous structure of each subsystem. When the total system reaches a statistical stationary state, it is shown by using the dynamical response function that the influence of the intrinsic subsystem on the collective one can be effectively taken into account by replacing the intrinsic system by the heat bath. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Microscopic Theory on Transport Phenomenon of Nuclear Many-body Systems

Yan Shiwe

In this article, I provide a simple review on conventional methods and models on the transport phenomenon of nuclear many-body systems. By exploiting the basic idea of time-dependent projection operator, I recommend a novel method to derive the transport equation for collective motion which is embedded on the microscopic dynamics of timedependent single-particle motion. It is emphasized that the microscopic dynamics of single-particle motion should play an important role for understanding the dynamics of nuclear reaction and the synthesis mechanisms of new superheavy elements. The numerical results of energy dissipation and entropy production indicate that the collective motion passes through three stages, such as dephasing/decoherence, statistical relaxation and stationary state. The statistical relaxation is a complex anomalous diffusion process in general. With the aid of above analysis and results, a possible way to define the collective and single-particle variables for the realistic nuclear many-body systems is proposed.

Determination of the collective Hamiltonian in a self-consistent theory of large amplitude adiabatic motion

G. Do Dang, Aurel Bulgac, Abraham Klein

The starting point for most studies of large amplitude collective motion in nuclear physics, the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations, can be mapped to a problem in classical Hamiltonian mechanics, which is the form of the problem studied in this work. For a system with N degrees of freedom, collective motion is identified with motion completely confined to a surface in K<N dimensions. Conditions for the existence of such decoupled surfaces are worked out and a procedure for constructing them is formulated. For most practical problems, where such surfaces do not strictly exist, a concept of approximate decoupling is developed and a test of its accuracy is described. Our results generalize the method of maximum global decoupling found in the earlier literature.
