Abstract

An equations-of-motion method is proposed for treating neutron-proton pairing correlations conserving both nucleon number $N$ and isospin $T$. This method makes it possible to find approximate solutions to the charge-independent pairing Hamiltonian by a step-by-step procedure. It is shown that for the degenerate model the exact results are obtained.NUCLEAR STRUCTURE Charge-independent treatment of pairing correlations.

Exact Solution of the Spin-Isospin Proton-Neutron Pairing Hamiltonian

Sergio Lerma-Hernández, B. Errea, J. Dukelsky +1 more

The exact solution of the proton-neutron isoscalar-isovector (T=0,1) pairing Hamiltonian with nondegenerate single-particle orbits and equal pairing strengths is presented for the first time. The Hamiltonian is a particular case of a family of integrable SO(8) Richardson-Gaudin models. The exact solution of the T=0,1 pairing Hamiltonian is reduced to a problem of 4 sets of coupled nonlinear equations that determine the spectral parameters of the complete set of eigenstates. The microscopic structure of individual eigenstates is analyzed in terms of evolution of the spectral parameters in the complex plane for a system of A=80 nucleons. The spectroscopic trends of the exact solutions are discussed in terms of generalized rotations in isospace.

Eigenstates of the L=0 , Charge- and Spin-Independent Pairing Hamiltonian. I. Seniority-Zero States

R. W. Richardson

Equations for all the seniority-zero eigenstates of $2N$ nucleons in an arbitrary charge- and spin-independent potential well and interacting through charge- and spin-independent pairing forces are derived. These equations are solved exactly for a large number of states of this system. The interaction in this Hamiltonian is effective in the $L=0$ states of the two-nucleon system, and its strength is independent of the remaining quantum numbers of the two nucleons. We solve our equations exactly for those states whose wave functions are totally symmetric functions of the spin-isospin coordinates of the $N$ $L=0$ pairs of nucleons in the state. The wave functions of these states factor into a spin-isospin-dependent part and a spatially dependent part. The spin-isospin-dependent part of one of these wave functions is an eigenvector of three tridiagonal matrices which insure that the state is a spin, isospin, and supermultiplet eigenstate, respectively. Explicit expressions are given for the eigenvalues of these three matrices in terms of the quantum numbers of the state. The spatially-dependent part of one of these wave functions is given explicitly in terms of $N$ parameters which we call pair energies. These pair energies are shown to satisfy $N$ coupled algebraic equations which depend parametrically upon the supermultiplet quantum numbers of the state. An expression for the occupation probabilities of the levels of the single-particle well is given. Throughout this work, an arbitrary splitting of the single-particle levels is treated exactly.

Exact Solution of the Isovector Neutron-Proton Pairing Hamiltonian

J. Dukelsky, V. G. Gueorguiev, P. Van Isacker +3 more

The complete exact solution of the T = 1 neutron-proton pairing Hamiltonian is presented in the context of the SO(5) Richardson-Gaudin model with nondegenerate single-particle levels and including isospin symmetry-breaking terms. The power of the method is illustrated with a numerical calculation for for 64Ge for a pf + g9/2 model space which is out of reach of modern shell-model codes.

Particle conserving approach to nuclear pairing

We discuss a method for treating the general pairing problem in a nite Fermisystem without violating the particle number conservation.The operator equations of motion are brought to the form of the recurrence relations with respect to the particle number.Examples of applications are shown.The results reproduce the exactly solvable models and consistently display an advantage compared to the conventional BCS solution.Extensions of the method are discussed.

Integrability and exact spectrum of a pairing model for nucleons

Jon Links, Huan-Qiang Zhou, M. D. Gould +1 more

A pairing model for nucleons, introduced by Richardson in 1966, which describes proton–neutron pairing as well as proton–proton and neutron–neutron pairing, is re-examined in the context of the quantum inverse scattering method. Specifically, this shows that the model is integrable by enabling the explicit construction of the conserved operators. We determine the eigenvalues of these operators in terms of the Bethe ansatz, which in turn leads to an expression for the energy eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian.

Exact Treatment of a Charge Independent Pairing Interaction in a Degenerate Model

M. Ichimura

A charge independent pairing interaction in j-j coupling scheme and a charge-spin independent pairing interaction in L-S coupling scheme are exactly solved in a degenerate model by the aid of group theory. Groups used here are independent of the number of states concerned unlike the usual shell model technique. Our method is deeply connected with the generalized Bogoliubov transformation and it is conjectured that this transformation combined with projection into the definite number and the isospin (symmetry) state is very useful for the treatment of pair-interacting many body system. The classification of states through the group used here are equivalent to the seniority scheme generalized for unlike particles and degenerate levels. Our method simplifies mathematics somewhat and derives easily some new properties of seniority scheme for unlike particles.
