Collective mass parameters and linear response techniques in three-dimensional grids
1984
We discuss four prescriptions for evaluating a collective mass parameter suitable for translations, rotations and large amplitude collective motions. These are the adiabatic time dependent Hartree-Fock theory (ATDHF) and the generator coordinate method (GCM), both with and without curvature corrections. As practical example we consider the16O+16O collision using a recently developed density dependent interaction with direct Yukawa and Coulomb terms. We present a fast iteration scheme for solving the linear response equation in a three-dimensional coordinate or momentum space grid. As test cases we consider the rotational and translational inertia parameters for various distances between the…
Triaxial shape with rotation around the longest principal axis inGd142
2008
The cranking model is used to describe rotational bands. We investigate the approach of using diabatic configurations and minimizing the particle-number projected energy in a mesh of both lambda, Delta and deformation parameters. We use the method to interpret recent experimental data in Gd-142 and conclude that for the highest spin states observed (I approximate to 30), the nucleus is triaxial and builds spin by rotating around the classically unfavored longest axis.
Adiabatic cooling of antiprotons in a Penning trap
1993
An antiproton cloud cooled at 4.2 K in a Penning trap can be further cooled by adiabatic reduction of the trap magnetic and electric fields. It will be shown that the temperature can be reduced by two orders of magnitude. This cooling method may be useful to obtain ultra-low energy antiprotons for the measurement of their gravitational properties and the production of ultra-low energy antihydrogen atoms.
Energy of string loops and thermodynamics of dark energy
2011
We discuss the thermodynamic aspects of a simple model of cosmic string loops, whose energy is nonlinearly related to their lengths. We obtain in a direct way an equation of state having the form p=-(1+{alpha}){rho}/3, with {rho} the energy density and 1+{alpha} the exponent which relates the energy u{sub l} of a loop with its length l as u{sub l}{approx}l{sup 1+{alpha}}. In the linear situation ({alpha}=0) one has p=-{rho}/3, in the quadratic one ({alpha}=1) p=-2{rho}/3, and in the cubic case ({alpha}=2) p=-{rho}. For all values of {alpha} the entropy goes as S{approx}(2-{alpha})L{sup 3/2} (L being the string length density). The expression of S is useful to explore the behavior of such st…
New approach for numerical solution of configuration-space Faddeev equations
1996
A new computational scheme for solving the bound state configuration-space Faddeev equations is applied. The scheme is based on the spline-approximation and the adiabatic limit of Faddeev equations. An ordering of variables being in agreement with the limit was chosen. As a result the matrix of the eigenvalue problem has a sparse block structure. Calculations of the bound states of µpp, µdd, µtt mesic molecules and ¯pdd, ¯ptt antiprotonic ones, were performed. To check the method, calculations of the binding energies for such systems as the positronium ion Ps−,3H and3He were carried out. The results are compared with the best results of other authors.
The Role of Fission in the r-process
2007
We have developed a full set of fission rates that include spontaneous fission, neutron-induced fission, beta-delayed fission and, neutrino-induced fission, that are supplemented with realistic distributions of fission yields. Using this new input data we have carried out r-process calculations assuming adiabatic expansions that mimic the conditions achieved in the supernova neutrino driven wind. We have explored the sensitivity of the final abundances to different mass models. The resulting abundance distribution turns out to be very sensitive to the strength of the N = 82 shell gap far from stability. Mass models with a strong shell gap converge to an r-process distribution that is indepe…
Collective subspaces for large amplitude motion and the generator coordinate method
1979
The collection path $|\ensuremath{\varphi}(q)〉$ to be used in a microscopic description of large amplitude collective motion is determined by means of the generator coordinate method. By varying the total energy with respect to $|\ensuremath{\varphi}(q)〉$ and performing an adiabatic expansion a hierarchy of equations is obtained which determines uniquely a hierarchy of collective paths with increasing complexity. To zeroth order the $|\ensuremath{\varphi}(q)〉$ are Slater determinants, to first order they include 2p-2h correlations. In both cases simple noninterative prescriptions for an explicit construction of the path are derived. For a correlated path their solutions agree at the Hartree…
Polarimetry on dense samples of spin-polarized 3He by magnetostatic detection
1997
Abstract A very sensitive low-field fluxgate magnetometer is used to detect the static magnetic field produced by dense samples of spin-polarized 3He gas contained in spherical glass cells at pressures around several bars. The 3He nuclear polarization can be extracted with high precision ΔP P by utilizing magnetostatic detection in combination with adiabatic fast-passage spin reversal. The polarization losses can be kept well below 0.1% thus making this type of polarimetry almost non-destructive. More simply even, P can be measured with reduced accuracy by the change of field when the cell is removed from the fluxgate. In this case the accuracy is limited to about 10% due to the uncertainti…
Non-adiabatic treatment of fission mass distribution
1975
The influence of dynamical corrections to fission mass yields has been studied within the frame work of the macroscopic-microscopic approach and solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for the asymmetry degree of freedom, treating the fragment separation classically. The results indicate that the actual motion lies in between the adiabatic and sudden approximations. In particular the dynamic effects tend to increase considerably the probability for symmetric fission as compared to the static case.
Quadrupole collective inertia in nuclear fission: Cranking approximation
2010
Collective mass tensor derived from the cranking approximation to the adiabatic time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (ATDHFB) approach is compared with that obtained in the Gaussian Overlap Approximation (GOA) to the generator coordinate method. Illustrative calculations are carried out for one-dimensional quadrupole fission pathways in 256Fm. It is shown that the collective mass exhibits strong variations with the quadrupole collective coordinate. These variations are related to the changes in the intrinsic shell structure. The differences between collective inertia obtained in cranking and perturbative cranking approximations to ATDHFB, and within GOA, are discussed.
