Relativistic equation of state with short range correlations

Abstract

Short range correlations are introduced using unitary correlation method in a relativistic approach to the equation of state of the infinite nuclear matter in the framework of the Hartree-Fock approximation. The effect of the correlations in the ground state properties of the nuclear matter is studied.

Nuclear matter problem in the relativistic Green’s function approach

P. Poschenrieder, M. K. Weigel

In this paper we present the theory of nuclear matter in the framework of relativistic nuclear field theory utilizing the technique of relativistic many-body Green's functions. The analytic properties of the Green's functions and related quantities are given and used to obtain the final set of equations for the nuclear matter problem. In detail, we have investigated theoretically and numerically the so-called ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}^{00}$ and ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}^{10}$ approximations. For comparison we also calculated the relativistic Hartree-Fock and the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation, respectively. For masses and coupling strengths we used (phenomenological) parameter sets given by the Bonn and Groningen group. The results of the \ensuremath{\Lambda} approximations are similar to the relativistic Brueckner treatment.

Nucleon correlations and the equation of state of nuclear matter

A. Polls, Willem H Dickhoff, H. Müther +6 more

The self-consistent Green’s function method within the ladder approximation provides a microscopic description of correlated nuclear systems which properly treats the nucleon-nucleon correlations induced by the short-range and tensor components present in any realistic interaction. These correlations produce a sizable depletion of low momenta below the Fermi surface as well as the occupation of high momenta in the nuclear ground state. A few representative results for nuclear matter are presented to illustrate the present progress in the application of this method to nuclear systems.

Nuclear Structure in the Framework of the Unitary Correlation Operator Method

Robert Roth, Thomas Neffb, Hans Feldmeier

Correlations play a crucial role in the nuclear many-body problem. We give an overview of recent developments in nuclear structure theory aiming at the description of these interaction-induced correlations by unitary transformations. We focus on the Unitary Correlation Operator Method (UCOM), which offers a very intuitive, universal and robust approach for the treatment of short-range correlations. We discuss the UCOM formalism in detail and highlight the connections to other methods for the description of short-range correlations and the construction of effective interactions. In particular, we juxtapose UCOM with the Similarity Renormalization Group (SRG) approach, which implements the unitary transformation of the Hamiltonian through a very flexi-ble flow-equation formulation. The UCOM- and SRG-transformed interactions are compared on the level of matrix elements and in many-body calculations within the no-core shell model and with Hartree-Fock plus perturbation theory for a variety of nuclei and observables. These calcu-lations provide a detailed picture of the similarities and differences as well as the advantages and limitations of unitary transformation methods.

Nuclear matter as a Fermi liquid

Helmut Hofmann

Abstract This chapter discusses the significance of two body interactions to many-body properties, beginning with a schematic model showing the relevance of short-range correlations beyond those of the Fermi gas. These correlations are studied within Brueckner theory and the help of the Bethe-Goldstone equation, mainly for nuclear matter proper but extensions to finite temperature are presented. Effective forces of Skyrme type are derived through an expansion of the G-matrix to small relative momenta. This scheme hinges essentially on the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation, for which results for binding energy and equilibrium density are presented. An alternative variational method based on Jastrow functions is sketched, which demonstrates the necessity for considering effective three body forces. The concept of the nuclear equation of state is presented and parameterized by Skyrme forces with density dependent parameters. Finally, a semi-classical transport theory is presented which accounts for statistical collisions of the nucleons.

Semiclassical approximation to time-dependent Hartree--Fock theory

Maria Dworzecka, R. S. Poggioli

Working within a time-dependent Hartree-Fock framework, one develops a semiclassical approximation appropriate for large systems. It is demonstrated that the standard semiclassical approach, the Thomas-Fermi approximation, is inconsistent with Hartree-Fock theory when the basic two-body interaction is short-ranged (as in nuclear systems, for example). However, by introducing a simple extension of the Thomas-Fermi approximation, one overcomes this problem. One also discusses the infinite nuclear matter problem and point out that time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory yields collective modes of the zero sound variety instead of ordinary hydrodynamic (first) sound. One thus emphasizes that one should be extremely circumspect when attempting to cast the equations of motion of time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory into a hydrodynamic-like form.

Density fluctuations in infinite Fermi systems

W. D. Heiss, Richard H. Lemmer

Within the framework of many-body theory, a generalized Hartree-Fock equation is derived assuming a periodic density fluctuation. In a one-dimensional model, self-consistent solutions are calculated. A band structure of the single-particle spectrum and several minima of the total energy appear as novel features.NUCLEAR MATTER Static density fluctuations, generalized Hartree-Fock method.
