ABSTRACT

The binding energy of He and 0 was calculated

using reaction matrix elements of Tabakin a potential*

A separable form of the potential haa been used to re-

dace the basic equation to a simple linear algebraic

system* The Pauli operator Q defined in terms of har-

monic oscillator intermediate states permits an easy

and accurate calculation. Our numerical results for the

binding energies include the first- and second-order

contributions. A very reasonable agreement of the ex-

perimental and theoretical values has been obtained

since the occupied-state energies are made nearly self-

consistent and a cancellation of other important higher-

order contributions has been achieved by a shift of the

entire harmonic-oscillator spectra*

A uniform description of the free nucleon-nucleon

scattering and nuclear structure data belongs apparently

to the most important and very popular problems in

present-day nuclear theory* It laAwell known that the

Brueckner reaction matrix t should be introduced in the

nuclear structure calculations rather than the free H-N

interaction v» The idea is to treat the interaction in-

side the particle pairs ("two-body cluster11) to all or-

ders before letting any of the particles from the pair

interact with the remaining particles* Hew progress

in understanding the nature of Brueckner's perturbation

expansion was provided recently In articles by Hajaraman

and Bethe and Brandow 'where th© earlier referenoee can

also "be found.

The t-matrix can be defined by the operator equation

= v - v ~-t> CD

where the Paull operator Q prevents scattering into the

occupied states and energy denominator e stands for the

difference of intermediate and starting energy: C a ^ Z . "

The reference spectrum method ' has proved to -be

the most useful approximation in solving Eq«(l)» One

introduces a simple expression Q '<? (where Q ~~ 1 is

a frequent choice) and defines the reference matrix t by

{ , y- y_t , (2)

By iterating the exact relation

TJ

a perturbation expansion for t-matrix in powers of t

originates. The method is practicable if the first two

terms of the expansion provide a sufficiently accurate

result.

At present, two types of the free-nuoleon interactions are

available, whioh are derived from the experimental soattering

data.

1) The realistic potentials with infinite repulsive

cores such as the Xale, Hamada-Johnston and Eeid poten-

tials enjoy a great popularity mainly due to their correct

(from the point of view of mesonic theory) asymptotic be-

haviour and extremely good fit to the scattering data.

2) The non-local potentials which describe dynamically

the N-N repulsion at short separation distances constitute

another widely accepted class of realistic nuoleon-nucleon

interactions. Tabakin's4' separable potential,being

fitted with a very reasonable accuracy to the scattering

phase shifts up to 320 MeV^Ie probably the best of the

given class so far.

It has been pointed out as a result of numerous

calculations^ * that Tabakin's and other realistic po-

tentials are equivalent to a great extent from the point

of view of the nuclear structure investigations. A compar-

ison of the relative-motion matrix elements of Tabakin'a

potential with those extracted directly from the experi-

mental phase shifts by Elliott et al>'' shows a striking

similarity as well.

The recent nuclear t-matrix studies by Kuo and Brown '

and Wong have been performed with the Hamada-Johnston

potential. It is felt, however, that the original ambi-

tious program of investigating such a complicated poten-

tial in the Bruecteer theory could be diminished con>-

siderably by the computing difficulties. In particu-

lar, a rather crude treatment or&auli operator Q (Q S4A

in Refa.8 and 9 should be mentioned here. Becker, MacKellar

and Horria ' observed,when comparing. Wong's"* results

with their own calculation, that the use of. the rather ac-curate Eden-Emery s ' approximation 0 ^ for GT in the

reference matrix calculation has a greater effect than the

use of the same Q in calculating correction terms to

t obtained with Q = 1. Moreover, a slow convergenceRof the t-matrix expansion in powers of t has: been found

by Bhargava and Sprung in a nuclear matter calculation

with CT = 1. A similar situation should be expected in

finite nuclei.

In the present approach we would like to introduce

the Pauli operator Q in the most accurate way, stating

clearly all the approximations with the aim of calculating

the corresponding correction terms according to Eq»(3)

later. Because of the mentioned equivalence of the realistic

potentials we have chosen the labakin potential for cal-

culating the t-matrix elements in the He"* and 0 nuclei.

Using the separability of Tabakin interaction, Eq,(l) re-

duces to a system of linear algebraic equations instead of

much more complicated integro-differential or differential

equations which arise in the case of local potentials with

static repulsion.

Of course, Tabakin's potential can be formally used

in the nuclear structure calculation already in its bare

foi"nu From the physical consideration it is clear, however,

that at least corrections for the multiple scattering pro-

cesses must be included in this case. The problem has been

investigated up to the second order In Hartrpe-Fock bases

by Bassichis and Strayer J • They used a truncated but,

however, very large configuration space and the calculation

oan in this respect be considered complete for light

nuclei. Their results are twofold:

i) total second-order correction to the binding energy

is comparable or even larger than the first-order term (Hartree*

Focfc energy), and

ii> the most important contributions to the second -

order term originate from as high as 6£ui and 8%u> lying

intermediate states*

Consequently there is no good reason- to expect small

third- and higher-order terms,and the calculation of the

reaction matrix which represents a sum of all higher-order

processes seems to be inevitable.

The problems of the single-particle Cs»p») basis*

states in the Brueckner theory are briefly reviewed in

Section H . Our choice of the harmonic oscillator s»p,

basis is supported mairsly by a possibility of accurate

representation for Paul! projector Q which is introduced

in Section XTX« In Section IV the "basic equations are

derived. The accuracy of our numerical procedures is dis-

cussed in Section V, and the final results for the binding

energy in He^ and Q together with the most important con-

clusions are given in Section VI,

For further calculation it is essential to perform

transformation from the individual particle basis into

the relative and the centre-of-mass (RCM> coordinate systems.

It can be done in a siaple way for two cases only.

also been frequently used for the intermediate states in

finite nuclei* To do it consistently, the procedure must

include an orthogonalization of the continuum states to the

low-lying localized states as well as new continuum states

among themselves9^ . As far as we Icnow, such a program

has never ye-t "been performed. Another drawback of the

plane-wave basis in - the finite nuclei t-matrix cal-

culation is a rather difficult and less transparent treat-

ment of the Pauli exclusion principle Csee also Section H I ) .

2) The harmonic oscillator (h.o») basis has become

rather popular in the most recent t-matrix studies,

in Tjo-th nuclear matter14* and finite nuclei10^15^1^. It

is also the choice adopted in the present paper* L-S vector-

Many higher-order contributions to the binding energy

meters C# and 7) are appropriately chosen* S,pa states

parately:

i) the most preferable choice for the occupied s^p^

with s,p. potential satisfying Erueckner self consistency.

Then the terms with bubble- and potential-insertions in

all second-order processes,FigwlCttJ-Ce.), give zero total

The exclusion principle represented by Pauli projector

introduces tremendous complications into reaction matrix

calculations for finite nuclei* Both Q - 1 and angle-

average approximation borrowed from the nuclear-matter

have been frequently chosen in earlier investigations '^

probably the possibility of a simple and accurate approxi-

mation for the operator Q which carries the main huili: of

below can be considerably sing>lified and still retain good

accuracy* The latter approximation was suggested by Eden

Radial integrals <^Vsi of Tabakln s potential have been

calculated by 15 points Gauss-Laguerre quadrature formula. We

use here modified parameter a of ^ channel potential sug-

gested by E .Baranger and B.Clement in Eef.5.

be considerably shortened by employing the completeness of

of Eq.(26) involves less terms and simpler transformation

brackets*

ferent rates of convergence for various t -channels should

rather highly excited states. The calculation could be

easily extended beyond the 3O4» limit (all nBt*4 in

this region) • It would be very hard, however, to Justify

such procedure since the phase shifts are known and have

meaning only below about 300 MeV. The matrix elements

of specific potentials such as that of TabaMn should ai-np,nr

ready be quite unreliable for large values of which cor-

respond to 306co (roughly 500 MeV in a-d shell nuclei)

lying states constitute, however, only a few per cent of

the total result and we can consider the binding energies

calculated with P = 30 as^reaaonable compromise between

the extreme requirements for terminating the summation in

(28) at about 300 MeV and extending it up to the point where

clear asymptotic value of the binding energy has been reached.

The same problem arises,of course,in all t-matrix calcula-

tions; it may be only hidden by a more complicated formalism.

cited states which contribute to the 0 binding energy arethose with (4 r 8) co excitation energy in qualitative ac-

cordance with earlier findings by Bassicnia and Strayer •* •

only* A Tninimran in the calculated Ev ' curve then meansthat certain nondiagonal insertion has been cancelled as well*

Therefore, the most reasonable choice for the value of the(2)

parameter b is to take It In the minimum of £ •

We have stressed already that the proper definition

of the parameters n and1 C in Eq.(ll) modifying the s»p»

basis Is crucial for the rapid convergence of Brueckner

expansion* The self-consistent prescription (12) Is well

Justified; much work, however, remains before the problem

of appropriate modification of particle spectra can be com-

pletely settled. In Table II we ahow how the binding

energy of He and 0 depends on the choice of parameter C

which; modifies the particle-hole gap in our calculation*

It can be seen that much better agreement of calculated

and experimental data would be obtained with C values

different from those of equation (16), E*g*,the procedure

adopted by Becker, MacKellar and Morris1 ^ gives in 0 for

three different realistic potentials roughly the same value -

CCsi - 66 MeTfc-(Mftw) which should be compared with our estimate

(16) C = -(-^4Hu> . The binding energy of 0 1 6 for C *-

and Tabakin's potential would be about - 8O4 MeV in sur-

prisingly good agreement with Beckers et al» ' results

- 7*3, -7*5, and -7*8 HeV for Yale, Reid and Hamada-Johnston

potentials, respectively. The choice of constant C should

be made, nevertheless, independently in order to minimize

the higher-order contributions to the binding energy rather

than from the numerical fit to the experimental value* In-

clusion of the third-order processes Q?ig#2(d)) with more

than 2f\(J excitation in the intermediate states is indeed

highly desirable in the place of our crude guess (16),

According to our knowledge the previous results of

binding energy calculations with true realistic potentials

are in most cases in rather strong disagreement (B»E. 2£

with experimental values B.E* (He ) = -7*07 MeV and .".

B.E*(016) * -7.975 MeV unless additional tailor-made

assumptions are introduced. The better agreement obtained

by the present approach is probably due to the more appropriate

treataent of APauli exclusion principle and consistent

modification of s*p* spectra. The most important addi-

tional effects responsible for our slightly underesti-

mated results should be; i) three-body cluster term,

ii) second-order diagrams ]?ig»2(b) - (e) with excitation

over several major shells, and ill) better choice of the

parameter C as already discussed*

In our treatment of the centre-of-mass Cc»m*) motion

only the term -^"ta corresponding to the unperturbed

ground state wave function has been taken into account*

A more consistent description of the c*m« effects in the

Ke^ nucleus has been suggested recently by Blank °* in the

frame of the Lipkin model with an external h»o* potential

field acting on the cm* degrees of freedom. His prelimi-

nary results obtained with the Hamada-Johnston potential

show that C»BU motion .probably influences the expansions

for the r«iius* radius and charge distribution only*

The present approach is based on the assumption that

the three-body forces produce negligible effects on the

nuclear states*. Tabakin s potential was used for the

evaluation of two-body reaction matrix elements in terms

of modified harmonic oscillator states for He^ and 0 •

Two approximations in the treatment of Pauli projector

Q are: 1) We keep only terms diagonal in the centre-of-mass

quantum numbers Jf^.Ji and 2} The Ji -dependent matrix

elements of Q are substituted by their average values*

The validity of the last two assumptions should be care-

fully investigated despite very reasonable numerical

results obtained for He and 0 binding energies*.
