1 Nuclear physics: a laboratory for many-particle quantum mechanics or From model to theory in nuclear structure physics G.F. Bertsch University of Washington Stockholm University and the Royal Institute Technology Sept. 18, Models vs. theories 2. The nuclear landscape 3. The unitary fermion gas model 4. Light nuclei ab initio 5. The multiconfiguration shell model 6. Models of pairing 7. Self-consistent mean field and density-functional theory 8. Extensions of SCMF
2 What are models good for? N. Bohr (1937) Models: -capture the essential phenomena -are simple, at least in formulation
3 Examples of information nuclear models The shell model model H = 2 2 2m V 1 0f(r)+V s r df dr s 4 parameters Explains magic numbers, explains many ground-state spins and parities The liquid drop model B(N,Z) =a v A a s A /3 Z 2 a c A a (N Z) 2 1/3 a A + δ A 1/2 A = N + Z 5 parameters Reproduces binding energies to 3 MeV r.m.s., out totals ranging from 100 to 2000 MeV.
4 Characteristics of good theories -need only a small set of parameters -have wide predictive power -have intrinsic criteria for limits of validity

6 Starting point: the nuclear interaction In the two-body sector, the nuclear interaction is just barely able, or not, to produce a bound state. nn channel: r ~ 2 fm; a_nn ~ 18 fm np channel: V ~ -100 MeV; E_d = -2.2 MeV! (deg) Argonne v 18 np Argonne v 18 pp Argonne v 18 nn SAID 7/06 np! (deg) S1 Argonne v 18 np SAID 7/06 np S E lab (MeV) E lab (MeV) An informative model: the unitary Fermi gas Interaction is zero-range with a strength that produces a zero-energy bound state
7 The unitary model in the three-body system--what we learned 1. There are an infinite number of weakly bound 3-body states (Efimov 1971). 2. It is the only nontrivial three-body problem that can be solved exactly. PRL 97, (2006) P H Y S I C A L R E V I E W L E T T E R S week ending 13 OCTOBER 2006 Unitary Quantum Three-Body Problem in a Harmonic Trap Félix Werner and Yvan Castin Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, École Normale Supérieure, 24 rue Lhomond, Paris Cedex 05, France (Received 18 July 2005; published 10 October 2006) We consider either 3 spinless bosons or 3 equal mass spin-1=2 fermions, interacting via a short-range potential of infinite scattering length and trapped in an isotropic harmonic potential. For a zero-range model, we obtain analytically the exact spectrum and eigenfunctions: for fermions all the states are universal; for bosons there is a coexistence of decoupled universal and efimovian states. All the universal states, even the bosonic ones, have a tiny 3-body loss rate. For a finite range model, we numerically find for bosons a coupling between zero angular momentum universal and efimovian states; the coupling is so weak that, for realistic values of the interaction range, these bosonic universal states remain long-lived and observable. 3. Exact solutions are useful for testing numerical methods (GFMC, hyperspherical harmonics,...)
8 The uniform gas of fermions with short-ranged interactions H = i 2 i 2m + g i<j δ(r i r j ) Interaction is only defined in a cutoff space; the physical expansion parameter is the scattering length a. Perturbative limit (1960ʼs many-body theory): Now we look at the limit a The Hamiltonian has no internal parameters! E N = ξ 2 kf 2 2m 3 5

11 Getting more realistic on the nuclear interaction About 20 parameters are required to describe the nuclear interaction in sufficient detail to reproduce experimental scattering phase shifts and properties of the deuteron. The Hamiltonian based on that interaction underbinds the 3-nucleon system, overbinds nuclear matter, and produces a spin-orbit field that is too weak. The deficiencies are corrected by including a 3-body interaction arising from pions.

18 The Monte-Carlo sign problem is avoided by good luck and a good choice of representation. (All v_l are negative and the pairing interaction is expressed as a density-density interaction between like particles.)

There are two popular families of interactions, the Skyrme family based on contact interactions and derivatives and the Gogny family based on short-ranged Gaussian functions. Both have a density-dependent contact interaction for the 3-body term. See Bender, Heenen and Reihard, Rev. Mod. Phys (2003).
27 Performance of SCMF on nuclear binding energies For comparision, the 5 parameter liquid drop model reproduces binding energies with a 3 MeV RMS error. -SCMF improvement is a factor 2 -SCMF with phenomenology terms for correlation effects improvement is a factor of 5 -same or better improvement can be obtained with the liquid drop model plus shell corrections plus phenomenological correlation terms
28 Correlations and the restoration of broken symmetries SCMF of nuclei breaks translational invariance. Depending on the nucleus, it may also breaks rotational symmetry. In the Bogoliubov theory, it further breaks particle number conservation. PHYSICAL REVIEW C 79, (2009) The paradox of self-consistent mean-field theory: the physical states of course respect the symmetries of the Hamiltonion, but one often does better by breaking them.
