A Quantal Theory of Pairing Rotation, Pairing Vibrations and Independent-Particle Motions
A. Kuriyama, M. Yamamura
Abstract
A microscopic theory is proposed to describe not only the pairing rotation, the pairing vibrations and the independent-particle motions, but also their mutual couplings in a consistent manner. With the aid of a BCS-type wave packet and a quasi-particle coherent state, the quantal system is translated into a corresponding classical one. First, we develop a canonical form in a classical image. This classical system obeys certain constraints, by which the double counting in the degrees of freedom is avoided. Then, the quantization is performed with the use of the Dirac theory of a canonical system with constraints. The original fermion operators themselves are expressed in terms of three types of degrees of freedom, which correspond to the pairing rotation, the pairing vibrations and the independent-quasi-particle motions, respectively.
