Abstract 

We consider the groundstate of a system of A interacting fermions and construct relationships connecting the asymptotic behaviour of the one-body density matrix with the overlap functions of the eigenstates in the (A−1)-particle system. It is shown that the knowledge of the exact one-body density matrix is sufficient to determine the overlap functions, spectroscopic factors and separation energies of the bound (A−1)-particle eigenstates. We also derive sumrules linking the overlap functions with the natural orbitals of the system.

Abstract 

A method is presented for the calculation of single-particle strength distributions in spherical semi-magic open-shell nuclei. The model is based upon the equation-of-motion method and differs from the standard quasiparticle-phonon model in that also backward-going terms are included in the self-energy of the nucleons. In the limit to closed shells the model reduces to the microscopic particle-vibration method with RPA-like polarization propagators. The model is applied to the proton particle and hole spectral functions in the odd nuclei adjacent to 142Nd.

Abstract 

It is reminded that a shell-model approach for occupation numbers in nuclei imposes constraints on the number of particles that can be lifted out of the Fermi sea. These constraints do not depend on the details of the calculation, such as the applied effective interaction, the size of the shell-model space or the way of tackling the shell-model equations. In some recent papers these constraints are violated. It is shown that this points to inconsistencies in the normalization of the many-body wave function calculated within perturbation theory.

Abstract 

We present a new method to describe the fragmentation of single-particle strength in the framework of the Green function formalism. By means of an iterative scheme, we are able to construct a self-consistent solution of the Dyson equation up to second order in the interaction. Damping effects, such as the broadening of the spectral function for deep-lying hole states, show up in a natural way. We apply the formalism to a schematic model and to the case of the doubly-closed shell nucleus 48Ca.

Abstract 

We present results of self-consistent Hartree-Fock (HF) and continuum random-phase-approximation (RPA) calculations for proton emission following the electro-excitation of 58Ni in the energy range ω = 25–42 MeV. The calculations are performed for four different values of the momentum transfer ranging between 0.4 and 0.8 fm−1. For the above kinematics, an extensive amount of data is available. We confront the data with the theoretical results obtained within the plane-wave impulse approximation (PWIA), HF and RPA. The role of the final-state interaction (FSI) is investigated. Furthermore, we investigate in how far the angular distributions may reflect the occurrence of giant resonances. A quasi-free knockout (QFK) reaction picture is found unable to account for details of the data. Although the RPA offers a reasonable description of the overall q and ω behaviour of the angular distributions, it does not provide a good description of the proton-decay branch of the quadrupole and octupole resonance.

Abstract 

The ratio of the transverse to longitudinal (e, e′p) strength in the quasi-elastic peak is investigated within a non-relativistic Hartree-Fock (HF) and continuum random-phase approximation (RPA) reaction model. Calculations are performed for proton knockout from different orbitals in 12C and 40Ca. Each single-particle state is found to show a particular behaviour in the transverse to longitudinal ratio. Comparison with experimental data indicates that a beneficial role can be attributed to the RPA correlations.

Abstract 

We present self-consistent Hartree-Fock (HF) and random-phase approximation (RPA) calculations for quasi-elastic 16O(e, e′ p) cross sections. The role of the final state interaction (FSI) and RPA-like multi-step processes is discussed. Comparing the results with the experimental data, spectroscopic factors could be derived. It is found that the RPA correlations systematically enhance the deduced spectroscopic factors.
