Abstract

Title: Many-body methods within the nuclear Lipkin model Author: Radek Folprecht Institute: Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Supervisor: Mgr. František Knapp Ph.D., Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Abstract: The subject of the present thesis is the Lipkin model, a two- level degenerated quantum system enhanced by two-body interactions. The exact solutions and properties of the model are reviewed and summarized. Several many-body methods common in nuclear physics are used to solve the eigenvalue problem of the time-independent Schrödinger equation. The many-body methods applied to the Lipkin model in the present thesis are the Hartree-Fock mean-field method, the random phase approximation, the Tamm-Dancoff approximation, and the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer method. We propose an instructive iterative extension to the random phase approxi- mation method. For the listed methods, we provide a comprehensive com- parison of the approximation quality for either the ground state energy or excited state energies. Keywords: Lipkin model, Hartree-Fock mean-field method, random phase approximation, Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer method 1

Erweiterung der Neuen Tamm-Dancoff-Methode auf Phasen- übergänge in Vielteilchensystemen / Extension of the New Tamm-Dancoff Method to Phase Transitions in Many-Body Systems

A. Friederich, W. Gerling, K. Bleuler

Abstract We extend the New Tamm-Dancoff method by introducing intermediate states. In this way we are able to treat with the Green's function method the effect of nearby levels in many-body systems. We formulate the η-and the ζ-function method with intermediate states. Aldready in first order, the ζ-function method yields a whole series of new approximations in addition to known theories such as the Hartree-Fock theory and the Hartree-Bogoliubov theory. As an example we study intensively "the Hartree-Fock theory with intermediate states". The ζ-function method which is based on the η-function method yields in first order in addition to RPA, quasi-particle RPA and other approximations "RPA with intermediate states". We apply the Hartree-Fock theory with intermediate states and RPA with intermediate states to the exactly solvable Lipkin model.

Mean-field approximation for inclusive observables

Y. Alhassid, Berndt Müller, S. E. Koonin

The excitation of a many-body system by a one-body perturbation is considered. The stationary phase approximation to a functional-integral representation of the many-body evolution operator shows that the optimal mean field for describing the final expectation values of one- and two-body operators is that given by the time-dependent Hartree-Fock method. The forced Lipkin model is considered as a test of the mean-field approximation.NUCLEAR REACTIONS Mean-field approximation, inclusive observables. Time-dependent Hartree-Fock.

Time-dependent coupled-cluster approximation to nuclear dynamics. I. Application to a solvable model

Pervez Amirali Hoodbhoy, John W. Negele

A general hierarchy of approximations to the many-body Schr\"odinger equation is presented which reduces to the time-dependent mean-field approximation in lowest order and provides systematic corrections in subsequent orders. The theory is applied to two interacting systems described by the Lipkin model Hamiltonian. Comparison of the results of the lowest two orders of approximation with the exact solution demonstrates the practicality of the method and its potential for generalizing nuclear dynamics beyond the mean field theory.NUCLEAR STRUCTURE Time-dependent approximation to nuclear dynamics.

Study of nuclear structure by using many-body theory

Nguyễn Quang Hưng

Atomic nucleus consists of nucleons (protons and neutrons) interacting each other with the so-called nucleon-nucleon (NN) forces. The structure of atomic nucleus can be studied via many-body theories. Some of them are the well-known random-phase approximation (RPA) and/or the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. These theories produce very well the properties of infinite systems such as superconductors, where the quantal and thermal fluctuations are zero or very small. However, our recent studies have shown that these fluctuations are significant in finite systems such as atomic nuclei. As the result, the physical properties of nuclear systems are changed due to the effects of quantal and thermal fluctuations. Therefore, the conventional many body theories need to be modified to include the effects of these fluctuations when they are applied to atomic nucleus. Recently, we have proposed a self-consistent quasiparticle RPA (SCQRPA) taking into account the effects of quantal and thermal fluctuations. The SCQRPA has been tested and the results obtained are in reasonable agreements with the exact solutions of the model cases as well as those obtained within the quantum Monte-Carlo method for realistic nuclei.

Comparison of Heisenberg’s New Tamm-Dancoff Method with Approximation Schemes used in Many-Body Theory

K. Bleuler, A. Friederich, Herbert Rainer Petry +1 more

In the theoretical investigation of nonrelativistic feimion systems, several characteristic approximation schemes play a decisive role. Examples are the BCS theory of superconductivity, the Hartree-Fock method in atomic and molecular physics and its generalization by means of the Bogoliubov theory (containing also BCS as a special case) used in nuclear physics. Furthermore, the Random-Phase-Approximation (RPA) is of fundamental importance in plasma physics as well as in the explanation of the well known vibrational states of nuclei. In this connection, it should be pointed out that the socälled nuclear models, which to a certain extent brought nuclear physics into miscredit, represent in fact nothing else but a more or less intuitive substitute for special well defined approximation schemes: the introduction of an average potential in heavy nuclei stands for Hartree-Fock, whereas the so-called surface vibrations visualize RPA. In addition, the possibility to describe elementary excitations by the naive concept of independent particle motion is justified theoretically by the Bogoliubov transformation which leads to the so-called quasi-particles.

Quasispin models in quantum physics

Title: Quasispin models in quantum physics Author: Andrii Zymin Department: Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Supervisor: Mgr. Pavel Stránský, Ph.D., Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Abstract: The use of symmetries in quantum physics helps in a deeper understanding of physical systems and simplifies numerical calculations. This thesis studies models based on the SU(2) algebra, which, in spite of their apparent simplicity, show rather rich behavior and describe a wide spectrum of physical phenomena. We review various realizations of the SU(2) algebra (namely the spin, boson, and fermion realization) and present the most general quantum hamiltonian with one- and two-body interactions, constructed from the SU(2) generators. We perform the classical limit of the hamiltonian and show a numerical study of several particular examples. Keywords: dynamical symmetries, Lipkin model, su(2) algebra, quasispin
