Abstract

An extended Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model for testing the proton-neutron random-phase approximation $(pn\mathrm{RPA})$ method is developed, taking into account explicitly proton and neutron degrees of freedom. Besides the proton and neutron single-particle terms two types of residual proton-neutron interactions, one simulating a particle-particle and the other a particle-hole interaction, are included in the model Hamiltonian so that the model is exactly solvable in an isospin $\mathrm{SU}(2)\ensuremath{\bigotimes}\mathrm{SU}(2)$ basis. The behavior of the first excited (collective) state obtained by (i) exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix and (ii) with the $\mathrm{pn}\mathrm{RPA}$ is studied as a function of the model parameters and the two results are compared with each other. Furthermore, charge-changing operators simulating nuclear beta decay and their action on eigenfunctions of the model Hamiltonian are defined and transition amplitudes of them are calculated using exact, the Tamm-Dancoff, and $\mathrm{pn}\mathrm{RPA}$ eigenfunctions.

Proton-neutron random phase approximation studied by the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model in the SU(2) $\times$ SU(2)

We study the proton-neutron RPA with an extended Lipikin-Meshkov-Glick model. We pay attention to the effect of correlated ground state and the case in which neutron and proton numbers are different. The effect of the correlated ground state are tested on the basis of quasi-boson approximation. We obtain the result that RPA excitation energies and transition strengths are in a good agreement with the exact solution up to a certain strength of the particle-particle interaction. However, the transition strength becomes worse if we consider the case in which neutron and proton numbers are different even at a weak particle-particle interaction.

Particle-hole interactions and vibrational states

Richard R. Chasman

A method is presented for the treatment of particle-hole residual interactions that is both simple and extremely accurate. This method is compared with the random-phase approximation, Tamm-Dancoff approximation, and other approximations in the schematic model of Brown and the monopole model of Lipkin, Meshkov, and Glick.

Extended random phase approximation in a solvable model

Daisuke Shindo, Kazuo Takayanagi

We propose an extended Lipkin model that can describe decay processes of particle-hole states and is still solvable. We examine several RPA-type theories using the model. We show explicitly the roles played by the self-energies of particle-hole propagators, and clarify how the extended RPA theory describes collective states better than other RPA-type theories.

Extended coupled-cluster method. IV. An excitation energy functional and applications to the Lipkin model

N. I. Robinson, R. F. Bishop, J. Arponen

Earlier papers in this series have shown how the extended coupled-cluster method (ECCM) provides a widely applicable biorthogonal formulation of quantum many-body and quantum field theory. Rules for calculating matrix elements of arbitrary operators have been formulated, and an exact description of the excited states has been given in terms of a generalized random-phase approximation for the many-body, quasilocal c-number (classical), ECCM cluster amplitudes which completely and exactly parametrize the system. The present paper introduces a variational functional in order to treat the excited states differently within the ECCM framework, so as to allow extra flexibility in the choice of approximation schemes. The method is tested on the SU(2) quasispin model of Lipkin, Meshkov, and Glick [Nucl. Phys. 62, 188 (1965); 62, 199 (1965)], which contains the spontaneous breakdown of parity, and which models a shape transition in finite atomic nuclei. The method very well describes both the ground and excited states of the model Hamiltonian over a broad range of coupling parameters on both sides of the critical value corresponding to the transition.

Beyond mean field study of excited states: Analysis within the Lipkin model

A. P. Severyukhin, M. Bender, P.-H. Heenen

We compare the generator coordinate method (GCM) and the random-phase approximation (RPA) in the framework of the exactly solvable Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. We show that the discretized GCM works quite well and permits to obtain results close to the exact results with a small number of discretization points.

Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model at finite temperature

Aleksej Nikolaevich Storozhenko, Daniel S. Kosov, A.I. Vdovin

The Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model is used to examine the validity of some approximate methods in a many-body theory at finite temperatures. Namely, the thermal random phase approximation (TRPA) and the thermal renormalized random phase approximation (TRRPA) are studied. An average energy of the system, an average quasispin projection and a particle number variance are calculated within these approximation and exactly with the grand canonical ensemble partition function. On the whole the results of TRRPA are found to be in better agreement with the exact ones. The validity of the both approximation becomes better with increasing temperature as well as particle number.
