A few notes

• Need a realistic model for the starting and background Hamiltonians

• What do we use for undetermined linear combinations?

starting Hamiltonian or

Hamiltonian from previous iteration

Not obvious that the same (universal) Hamiltonian should apply to all sd-shell nuclei – probably a special case –

we now know that other situations (like O vs C) require an explicit change in the TBME due to changes coming from core-polarization of difference cores.

Why do we need to modify the renormalized G matrix for USD

• Is the renormalization adequate• Difference between HO and finite well• Effective three-body terms• Real three-body interactions

Skx - fit to these data

Fitted parameters:

t0 t1 t2 t3 x0 x1 x2 x3

W Wx (extra spin orbit term)

t0s (isospin symmetry breaking)

Vary α by hand (density dependence) minimum at α = 0.5 (K=270)

t0 t0s t1 t2 t3 x0 and W well determined from exp data

x3 constrained from neutron EOS

Wx x1 and x2 poorly determined

Alex Brown UNEDF Feb-22-2008

Skx - fit to all of these data

Fit done by 2p calculations for the values V and V+epsilon of the p parameters. Then using Bevington’s routine for a “fit to an arbitrary function”. After one fit, iterate until convergence – 20-50 iterations.

10 nuclei, 8 parameters, so each fit requires 2000-5000 spherical calculations.

Takes about 30 min on the laptop.

Goodness of fit characterized by CHI with best fit obtained for “Skx” with CHI=0.6

Skx - fit to all of these data

Single-particle states from the Skyrme potential of the close-shell nucleus (A) are associated with experimental values for the differences

-[BE(A) - BE(A-1)] or = -[BE(A+1)-BE(A)] based on the HF modelThe potential spe are typically within 200 keV of those calculated from the theoretical values for -[BE(A) - BE(A-1)] or = -[BE(A+1)-BE(A)]

No time-odd type interactions, but time-odd contribution to spe are typically not more than 200 keV (Thomas Duguet)

Neutron EOS related to neutron skin -- x3

How can we constrain the neutron equation of state?

• We know the proton density from electron scattering

• The neutron skin is S = R_p – R_n where R are the rms radii

Nuclear Structure Theory - Confrontation and Convergence

• (AI) Ab initio methods with NN and NNN

• (CI) Shell model configuration interactions with effective single-particle and two-body matrix elements

• (DFT) Density functionals plus GCM…

My examples with Skyrme Hartree-Fock (Skx)

• Cluster models, group theoretical models …..

• Good – most “fundamental”

• Bad – only for light nuclei, need NNN parameters, “complicated wf”

• Good – applicable to more nuclei, 150 keV rms, “good wf”

• Bad – limited to specific mass regions and Ex, need effective spe and tbme for good results

• Good – applicable to all nuclei

• Bad – limited mainly to gs and yrast, 600 keV rms mass, need interaction parameters

• Good – simple understanding of special situations

• Bad – certain classes of states, need effective hamiltonian

Each of these has its own computational challenges
