1 Nuclear structure Anatoli Afanasjev Mississippi State University 1. Nuclear theory selection of starting point 2. What can be done exactly (ab-initio calculations) and why we cannot do that systematically? 3. Effective interactions 4. Density functional theory 5. Shell structure and shell effects. Their consequences. 6. Nuclear landscape: what we know and how well we extrapolate 7. Superheavy nuclei: successes and challenges
2 we are all made of star stuff Carl Sagan - Big Bang produces only hydrogen and helium, other elements are created in the stars in the process of nucleosynthesis All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others George Orwell, Animal farm - Not all hydrogen/helium nuclei will end up in uranium nuclei. It is expected that around 7000 of nuclei of different kind exist in the Universe:! around 300 of them are stable and well known,! we have some information on about 2700 unstable nuclei,! some part of remaining 4000 nuclei will be studied with FRIB (Facility for Rare Ion Beams)
3 The improvement in theory is critical: FRIB will allow to explore only some part of nuclear chart
4 1. Nuclear theory selection of starting point
5 Building blocks of nuclear matter The complete QCD Lagrangian 1 α µν µ α Λ = F F Ψ [ ig Ψ n A t ] µν α γ µ µ α n mnψnψn 4 δ n 6 quark fields: n=1,,6 8 SU(3) matrices numbered by the gluon-color index α=1,2,...,8" n
6 Proton = uud Neutron = ddu Mesons: built from quark and anti-quark Example: pion π 0 Quark-meson coupling models Quark degrees of freedom can be neglected and the description of low-energy nuclear systems can be based on the hadrons interacting by the exchange of different mesons Physics is an art of approximations
7 Challenges of description of many-body nuclear systems Start from Schrodinger equation E = + V ( r, t, s,...) ij ij ij 2m i p! Many-body aspect of the problem Example: exact multi-particle wave function methods 2 i< j! Nuclear forces inside of finite nuclei are poorly known Example: the need for 3-body forces " exponential wall (# of Slater determinants up to 10 9 ) A max ~12 " improvements of analytical and computational methods will lead only to modest increase of A max! Relativistic effects are PARAMETRIZED: for example, spin-orbit interaction V LS = W( r) l s
8 The description of the interaction of particles at short distances is extremely complicated # HARD CORE problem Polarization effects at short distances fermionic constituents do not like being put close to one another --- the Pauli exclusion principle creates additional polarization and repulsion effects if 3 particles # polarization effects depends on explicit positions of each of them THREE-BODY EFFECTS Use EFFECTIVE FORCES which truncate momenta above ~ MeV
9 Effective forces according to Brueckner theory (1958): Brueckner,Gammel, Phys. Rev. 109, 1023 (1958) The nucleons in the interior of the nuclear medium do not feel the same bare force V, as the nucleons feel in free space. They feel an effective force G. The Pauli principle prohibits the scattering into states, which are already occupied in the medium # the force G( ) depends on the density This force G is much weaker than bare force V. Nucleons move nearly free in the nuclear medium and feel only a strong attraction at the surface (shell model) 9/44
10 THREE-BODY EFFECTS V ( r N ) N N = V ( ) + ij rij V i j= 1 i, j, l ijl ( r ij, r il, 4- body??? r jl ) +... Axilrod-Teller potential 1 V r 12 2-body 3-body & 3cos( θ1)cos( θ2)cos( θ3) + A$ 3 3 % r12r13r23 ( 3) 1 ( r1, r2, r3 ) = 3 θ 1 r 13 θ 2 2 θ 3 r body effects in liquid argon:! 10% effect on partition function! 40% effects on transport coefficients #!

15 Even if these problems are resolved in future - it is not clear whether ab initio calculations will be more accurate as compared with experiment than other approaches - numerically, ab initio calculations are significantly more expensive than in other approaches Density functional theory

19 Non-relativistic mean field and density functional theories 1. Macroscopic + microscopic method Bulk properties # liquid drop Single-particle properties # single-particle potential (Woods-Saxon, Nilsson, folded Yukawa) Very flexible but no self-consistency # extrapolation to unknown regions of nuclear chart maybe unreliable 2. Density functional theories starting from 2 - and 3 - nucleon effective interactions Finite range Gogny force Central finite range force Zero-range (contact) Skyrme forces Spin-orbit 0-range Density-dependent 0-range + Coulomb
20 Realistic 2-body forces Effective interactions Local: 1. Central force 2. Tensor force Many-body techniques (Bruckner G-matrix, ) V V ( r) = V e Non-local (velocity-dependent) Example, 2-body spin-orbit interaction 0 r 2 / 2 0 (1) (2) T ( 1,2) = [ VT ( r) + V ] S 0 T τ 12 τ τ r Effective nucleon-nucleon forces 1. well-behaved at short distances (no hard core problem) Hard core can be neglected: nucleons move through the nucleus most of the time as independent particles because of Pauli exclusion principle (Weisskopf, 1950) 2. Include some part of many body correlations 3. Possible to apply many-body techniques Nucleons within a nucleus do not feel the bare nn-interaction!!! FIT TO EXP.
