Microscopic Theory on Transport Phenomenon of Nuclear Many-body Systems

Published Jan 1, 2013• 0 citations

Abstract

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.

Dynamic response function and large-amplitude dissipative collective motion

Xi-Zhen Wu, Fumihiko Sakata, Yizhong Zhuo +1 more

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 motion in a quantum diffusive environment

V. M. Kolomietz, Sven Åberg, S. V. Radionov

The general problem of dissipation in macroscopic large-amplitude collective motion and its relation to energy diffusion of intrinsic degrees of freedom of a nucleus is studied. By applying the cranking approach to the nuclear many-body system, a set of coupled dynamical equations for the collective classical variable and the quantum mechanical occupancies of the intrinsic nuclear states is derived in the limit of weak coupling of the collective and intrinsic subsystems. Different dynamical regimes of the intrinsic nuclear motion and its consequences on time properties of collective dissipation are discussed.

A Microscopic Theory of Collective and Independent-Particle Motions

M. Yamamura, A. Kuriyama

A microscopic theory of collective and independent-particle motion in many-fermion system is developed in the framework of the classical theory. The basic idea is an extension of the conventional time-dependent Hartree-Fock method with the use of fermion coherent state representation. Equation to determine collective path and constraints to govern the collective and the independent-particle variables are given. Hamiltonian and other physical quantities given with the original fermion variables are rewritten to the forms expressed in terms of the collective and the independent-particle variables.

Mathematical Results on Quantum Many-body Physics

Marius Lemm

The collective behavior exhibited by a large number of microscopic quantum particles is at the heart of some of the most striking phenomena in condensed matter physics such as Bose-Einstein condensation and superconductivity. Physicists and mathematicians have made great progress in understanding when and how these collective phenomena emerge through the interplay of particle statistics, particle interaction and the value of thermodynamic parameters like the temperature or the chemical potential. Due to the extreme complexity of realistic many-body systems, it is natural to introduce appropriate simplifications to render their analysis feasible. Three examples of such simplifications which have proven themselves as viable starting points for a fruitful and mathematically rigorous analysis of many-body systems are the following: (a) the study of integrable models; (b) the derivation of effective theories, valid on a macroscopic scale, from more fundamental microscopic theories under appropriate coarse-graining; and (c) the use of quantum information theory to understand general connections between correlation, entanglement and particle statistics. In this thesis, we present mathematically rigorous results that were obtained in these three directions. (1) We prove anomalous quantum many-body transport in XY quantum spin chains for certain choices of the external magnetic field. The anomalous transport is described via new kinds of anomalous Lieb-Robinson bounds, including one of power-law type. We note that the XY spin chain is integrable as it can be mapped to free fermions via the non-local Jordan-Wigner transformation. (2) We derive effective macroscopic theories of Ginzburg-Landau type from the microscopic BCS theory of superconductivity in certain circumstances. We study the case of a multi-component order parameter for translation-invariant systems and the condensation of fermion pairs at zero temperature in a domain with a hard boundary. (3) We use techniques from quantum information-theory to derive bounds on the entropy of fermionic reduced density matrices, a measure of the entanglement inherent to a fermionic quantum state.

Concept of Ideal Collective Coordinate as the Foundation for a Phenomenological Theory of Nuclear Collective Motion: Basic Ideas and Relation to Other Phenomenological Methods

Abraham Klein, R. M. Dreizler, Robert E. Johnson

The concept of an ideal collective coordinate is introduced by means of the following example: Consider a one-dimensional vibration of a many-body system in the sense that a large subset of states $|n〉$ of the system exhibits an energy spectrum and relative transition probabilities following the laws of the (in general anharmonic) oscillator described by $\mathcal{H}$ (${p}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}, \ensuremath{\alpha}$) $(\ensuremath{\alpha}|n)={\ensuremath{\omega}}_{n}(\ensuremath{\alpha}|n)$. We suppose the set of many-body states $|n〉$ to extend indefinitely, and we take the transform $|\ensuremath{\alpha}〉=\ensuremath{\Sigma}|n〉$ ($n|\ensuremath{\alpha}$) to define a many-body generating state of the band which is precisely localized in $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ space. The basic assumption of collectivity, that changing the state of at most a few particles cannot much alter the value of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$, is shown to be sufficient to derive a phenomenological theory from the many-body starting point. The phenomenological aspects of a recent theory of rotations due to Villars is seen to be contained in the above formulation as a special case. A brief review is given of the generator coordinate and similar projection methods in order to exhibit their relationship with the present method.

Quantum statistical effects in nuclear reactions, fission, and open quantum systems

Vazgen Valerikovich Sargsyan, Z. Kanokov, G. G. Adamian +1 more

Quantum diffusion equations with time-dependent transport coefficients are derived from generalized non-Markovian Langevin equations. Generalized fluctuation-dissipation relations and analytical formulas for calculating friction and diffusion coefficients in nuclear processes are obtained. The asymptotics of the transport coefficients and of the correlation functions are investigated. The problem of correlation decay in quantum dissipative systems is studied. A comparative analysis of diffusion coefficients for the harmonic and inverted oscillators is performed. The role of quantum statistical effects during passage through a parabolic potential barrier is investigated. Sets of diffusion coefficient assuring the purity of states at any time instant are found in cases of non-Markovian dynamics. The influence of different sets of transport coefficients on the rate of decay from a metastable state is studied in the framework of the master equation for reduced density matrices describing open quantum systems. The approach developed is applied to investigation of fission processes and the processes of projectile-nuclei capture by target nuclei for bombarding energies in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier. The influence of dissipation and fluctuation on these processes is taken into account in a self-consistent way. The evaporation residue cross sections for asymmetric fusion reactions are calculated from the derived capture probabilities averaged over all orientations of the deformed projectile and target nuclei.
