Bosonization from Quasiparticle Representation and Effects of Nucleon-Number Conservation

Abstract

We discuss microscopic ground of the IBM from the quasiparticle viewpoint, paying attention to the effects of nucleon-number conservation. The OAI mapping is revisited, showing for a single-j system how the number conservation effects are taken into account. The number-conserving quasiparticle approximation exploited by Li is applied to incorporate the number conservation effects. The significance of the number conservation is confirmed via the tests in the Ginocchio model and in a 2j system. An effective boson number is evaluated based on the number-conserving quasiparticle method. It is shown that the nucleon-number conservation effects are well incorporated in the IBM, even for systems with non-degenerate single-particle orbits.

Microscopic Basis of the Interacting Boson Model

Takaharu Otsuka

The microscopic basis of the IBM is discussed in this paper, presenting a derivation of the IBM system from the multi-nucleon system. Although there could be different approaches to this goal as stated in the preface of this supplement, we focus on two approaches. One is the Otsuka-Arima-Iachello mapping, which works for the spherical and near-spherical nuclei. The other is a mapping for deformed nuclei. In this paper, we discuss mapping methods for deriving the Interacting Boson Model (IBM). l) We first present a mapping method for spherical and near-spherical nuclei, usually referred to as the Otsuka-Arima-Iachello (OAI) mapping. 2 ), 3 ) The OAI mapping is based on the seniority scheme as will be discussed in detail. This mapping has been developed so that realistic calculations can be carried out as presented in a subsequent paper. In this paper, the basic concepts of the mapping are discussed rather in detail. Furthermore, the proton-neutron Interacting Boson Model (IBM-2) is discussed as a natural consequence of this mapping. 2 ), 3 ) In the second half of this paper, a mapping method for strongly deformed nuclei 8 ) will be reviewed. Although this mapping is for deformed nuclei, it is somewhat related to the OAI mapping. The work on deformed nuclei is much before any sort of completion, and considerable effort should be made in the future. For this purpose, the Quantum Monte Carlo Diagonalization method proposed recently 4 )- 7 ) may be useful. When the IBM was proposed from the phenomenological viewpoint by Arima and Iachello, the microscopic picture of bosons of this model was not known as pointed out in the preface of this supplement. The microscopic theory has made a crucial contribution even to phenomenological studies by the IBM, also as mentioned in the preface. Before starting rather detailed discussions, it may be useful to overview relevant properties of the effective nucleon-nucleon interactions. The short-range nuclear force favors two nucleons lying close to each other. This means that, if the wave functions of the two neutrons have large spatial overlap, the matrix element of this interaction becomes larger. On the other hand, two identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state, and this is the case for two neutrons. The next optimum case for gaining energy is that the two neutrons are moving on the same orbital but in opposite directions. Because the direction is opposite, the quantum states of the two neutrons are different. In this case, the total angular momentum of the two-neutron system is zero, because the rotation is completely cancelled. In fact, the

NUMBER CONSERVING APPROACH IN QUASIPARTICLE REPRESENTATION

M. R. Oudih, M. Fellah, N. H. Allal

An exact number conserving approach is formulated in the quasiparticle representation to show the effect of the particle-number projection on the ground and the first 0+ excited states. It is applied to the two-level pairing model, which allows an exact solution and a comparison to other approaches. The present method has proved to be an advantageous alternative as compared to the BCS and to the usual methods used to restore the particle number symmetry.

Application of a number-conserving boson expansion theory to Ginocchio’s SO(8) model

Chao-Te Li, V. G. Pedrocchi, Taro Tamura

A boson expansion theory based on a number-conserving quasiparticle approach is applied to Ginocchio's SO(8) fermion model. Energy spectra and E2 transition rates calculated by using this new boson mapping are presented and compared against the exact fermion values. A comparison with other boson approaches is also given.

The one nucleon transfer operator in the microscopic IBM without NOA

José Barea, Clara E. Alonso, J. M. Arias

The mapping of the single fermion creation operator (ci†) onto the Interacting Boson–Fermion space (IBFM) is revisited within the Generalized Seniority scheme. In the original work the Number Operator Approximation (NOA) was used. Here the exact evaluation of the relevant terms using exact values for the fermion matrix elements in the Generalized Seniority scheme is worked out. This provides a new, improved, single particle transfer operator to be used in IBFM.

Path integral bosonization of the pairing Hamiltonian

M. B. Barbaro, Alfredo Molinari, F. Palumbo +1 more

As a first approach to a derivation of the IBM from a microscopic nuclear hamiltonian, we bosonize the pairing hamiltonian in the framework of the path integral formalism respecting both the particle number conservation and the Pauli principle. We construct the saddle point expansion which reproduces the sector of the spectrum associated to the addition or removal of nucleon pairs. 1
