1 Skyrme Hartree-Fock Methods and the Saclay-Lyon Forces K. Bennaceur, IPNL UCB Lyon-1 / CEA ESNT The SLy force, quick overview Beyond the standard parameterization: new terms... Extended density dependence Tensor force... and new constraints Effective masses Instabilities

2 Zoology of the effective interactions Effective interactions Main ingredient for HF calculations (and beyond: HFB, RPA, GCM,...) Different flavors: Zero range (Skyrme forces), finite range (Gogny force), relativistic (effective lagrangians),... Different recipes: Density dependent term, spin-orbit term, isospin properties,... Very easy to construct a Skyrme force!... at most 10 Gogny forces about 20 relativistic lagrangians more than 100 Skyrme forces!

Effective microscopic hamiltonian and mean field approximation Φ HF, δ Φ H eff Φ Φ Φ = 0,...

Beyond mean field correlations?... See M. Bender, et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 75, 2003

21 We are far from the end of the story... Isospin evolution - a I is not enough - contraints on the neutron EOS seems to improve the results Surface properties - a s, a I s, fission barriers - crucial for SD and HD phenomena - isospin and surface properties should be adjusted together Dangerous simplifications: J 2 terms, 2-body c.m.,... Coulomb? Density dependence at the mean field level... and beyond - mean field (B. Cochet et al., Int. J. Mod. Phys. E13, 187, Nucl.Phys. A731, 34) - beyond (T. Duguet, P. Bonche, Phys. Rev. C67, ) Tensor terms (Fl. Stancu et al., Phys. Lett. 68B, 2, 108)

22 A simple extention: generalized density dependence Attemps made in the past: (with surprises along the way) V (r 1,r 2 ) = (1) t 3(1 + x 3 P σ )ˆρ q1 (r 1 ) + ρ q2 (r 2 ) α = (2)... + h 1 2 t 4(1 + x 4 P σ ) k 2`ρ i q1 (r 1 ) + ρ q2 (r 2 ) α + cc (1) e.g. M. Farine, J.M. Pearson, F. Tondeur, NPA 615 (1997) 137 (2) K.F. Liu, G.E. Brown, NPA 265 (1976) 385 General density dependence: V expansion in k F ρ 1/3 E/A = + V (r 1,r 2 ) = t 00 (1 + x 00 P σ )δ(r) h π t 01 (1 + x 01 P σ ) ρ 1/3 (R) δ(r) + t 02 (1 + x 02 P σ ) ρ 2/3 (R) δ(r)!... + t 03 (1 + x 03 P σ ) ρ(r) δ(r) + non local terms(ρ?) + spin-orbit term(ρ?) 2/3 Θs (m ) t 02i ρ 5/ and m m (K )

24 What for? Improvement and interesting results... (B. Cochet et al., Int. J. Mod. Phys. E13, 187, Nucl.Phys. A731, 34) But it allows to vary freely the effective mass! Spectroscopic properties should be improved with m /m closer to 1 Neutrons and protons have different effective masses in asymmetric matter this degree of freedom was never studied in the past... With SLy forces: m = m n m p m I=1 < 0

25 m from (D)BHF calculations Phenomenological approach (reaction): B.-A. Li, PRC (2004) BHF calculations: I. Bombaci et al., PRC 44 (1991) 1892, PRC 60 (1999) DBHF calculations: F. Hofmann et al., PRC 64 (2001) , E.N.E Van Dalen et al., PRL 95 (2005) m > 0 wins the election! with m 015 to 0.2

26 SLy type forces with different effective mass splittings SLy force m depends on both κ v and m /m m /m can not be varied without changing K Use of a Skyrme force with two density dependent terms ρ 1/3 + ρ 2/3 instead of ρ 1/6 x 2 can be different of -1 (Cf. B. Cochet et al. NPA A731, 34) m /m and κ v can be freely varied But: Spin instabilities must be kept under control Surprise 1!
