COLLECTIVE STATES FROM RANDOM INTERACTIONS

Abstract

The anharmonic vibrator and rotor regions in nuclei are investigated in the framework of the interacting boson model using an ensemble of random one- and two-body interactions. Despite the randomness of the interactions (in sign and size) we find a predominance of L(P)=0(+) ground states and strong evidence for the occurrence of both vibrational and rotational band structure.

Band Structure from Random Interactions

R. Bijker, Alejandro Frank

The anharmonic vibrator and rotor regions in nuclei are investigated in the framework of the interacting boson model using an ensemble of random one- and two-body interactions. We find a predominance of L(P) = 0(+) ground states, as well as strong evidence for the occurrence of both vibrational and rotational band structures. This remarkable result suggests that such band structures represent a far more general (robust) property of the collective model space than is generally thought.

Collective states in nuclei and many-body random interactions

R. Bijker, Alejandro Frank

Low-lying collective states in nuclei are investigated in the framework of the interacting boson model using an ensemble of random many-body interactions. It is shown that whenever the number of bosons is sufficiently large compared to the rank of the interactions, the spectral properties are characterized by a dominance of ${L}^{P}{=0}^{+}$ ground states and the occurrence of both vibrational and rotational band structures. This indicates that these features represent a general and robust property of the collective model space.

How random are random nuclei? Shapes, triangles and kites

R. Bijker, A. Frank

The energy systematics of medium and heavy even-even nuclei shows very regular features, such as for example the tripartite classification of nuclear structure into seniority, anharmonic vibrator and rotor regions [1,2]. Traditionally, this regular behavior has been interpreted as a consequence of particular interactions, such as an attractive pairing force in semimagic nuclei and an attractive neutron-proton quadrupole-quadrupole interaction for deformed nuclei. It came as a surprise, therefore, that recent studies of even-even nuclei in the nuclear shell model [3–5] and in the interacting boson model (IBM) [6–8] with random interactions also displayed a high degree of order. Both models showed a statistical preference for L = 0 ground states, despite the random nature of the interactions. In addition, in the shell model evidence was found for the occurrence of pairing properties [5], and in the IBM for vibrational and rotational bands [6,7]. These unexpected results have sparked a large number of investigations to try to understand their origin [9]. In this contribution, we discuss the phenomenom of emerging regular spectral features from the IBM with random interactions, and its

Nuclear structure from random interactions

R. Bijker, Alejandro Frank, Stuart Pittel

Low-lying states in nuclei are investigated using an ensemble of random interactions. Both in the nuclear shell model and in the interacting boson model we find a dominance of $J^P=0^+$ ground states. It is shown that this feature is not due to time reversal symmetry. In the shell model, evidence is found for the occurrence of pairing properties, and in the interacting boson model for both vibrational and rotational band structures. Our results suggest that these features represent general and robust properties of the model space, and do not depend on details of the interactions.

Playing Dice with Nuclei: Pattern out of Randomness?

R. Bijker, Alejandro Frank

We review recent results obtained in numerical studies of the nuclear shell model and the interacting boson model with random interactions, in particular the dominance of ground states with L=0 and the occurrence of vibrational and rotational bands. We discuss some possible explanations of the origin of these regular features.

Collective behavior in random interaction

Calvin W. Johnson, Hai Ah Nam

Recent investigations have looked at the many-body spectra of random two-body interactions. In fermion systems, such as the interacting shell model, one finds pairing-like spectra, while in boson systems, such as IBM-1, one finds rotational and vibrational spectra. We discuss the search for random ensembles of fermion interactions that yield rotational and vibrational spectra, and in particular present results from a new ensemble, the ``random quadrupole-quadrupole ensemble''
