Muon capture in deuterium and the meson exchange current effect

1990

Abstract One-meson exchange current effect in reaction μ − + d → 2 n + v μ is calculated by using the weak axial current operator which satisfies the nuclear continuity equation up to the order 1 M 2 ( M is the nucleon mass). In the vector part of the weak nuclear interaction the vector-isovector pion exchange currents are also included. Their contribution is found to be non-negligible. The nuclear wave functions are generated from the Paris, Reid soft-core and Bonn potential models. Our result is compatible with the previous one, obtained with only the static axial exchange currents included.

CONDENSATE FRACTION IN THE DYNAMIC STRUCTURE FUNCTION OF BOSE FLUIDS

2007

We present results on the behavior of the dynamic structure function in the short wave length limit using the equation of motion method. The one-body continuity equation defines the self-energy, which becomes a functional of the fluctuating two-body correlation function. We evaluate the self-energy in this limit and show that sum rules up to the second moment, which requires the self-energy in the short wave length limit and zero frequency to be proportional to the kinetic energy per particle, are exactly satisfied. We compare our results with the impulse approximation and calculate the condensate fraction. An analytic expression for the momentum distribution is also derived.

Higher-order energy density functionals in nuclear self-consistent theory

2011

In this thesis consisting of two publications and an overview part, a study of two aspects of energy density functionals has been performed. Firstly, we have linked the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order nuclear energy density functional to a zero-range pseudopotential that includes all possible terms up to sixth order in derivatives. Within the Hartree-Fock approximation, the quasi-local nuclear Energy Density Functional (EDF) has been calculated as the average energy obtained from the pseudopotential. The direct reference of the EDF to the pseudopotential acts as a constraint that allows for expressing the isovector coupling constants functional in terms of the isoscalar ones, or vice …
