Schematic two-body interactions employed • Modified Minnesota Interaction (MN) (NPA 286, 53) • Surface Delta Interaction (SDI) (PR 145, 830) • Surface Gaussian Interaction (SGI) (PRC 70, 064313) MN SGI SDI

  14. GSM calculations for 6,8He nuclei Forces • SGI/SDI parameters are adjusted to the g.s of 6He • The 2+ state of 6He is used to adjust the V(J=2,T=1) strength of the SGI • The two strength parameters of the MN are adjusted to the g.s of 6,8He • The matrix elements of the MN were calculated with the HO expansion method, • like in the recoil case. with Nmax = 10 and b = 2fm • In all the following we employed SGI+WS, SDI+WS and KKNN+MN for 6He • For 8He we used the spherical HF potential obtained from each interaction States with high angular momentum (d5/2, d3/2) • The large centrifugal barrier results in an enhanced localization of the d-waves • ONLY for d5/2, d3/2 or higher orbits we may use HO basis states for our calculation • s-p waves are always generated by a complex WS or KKNN basis.

  15. GSM calculations for 6,8He nuclei Example: 6He g.s with MN interaction. Basis set 1: p-sd waves with 0p3/2 resonant and ALL the rest continua i{p3/2}, i{p1/2}, i{s1/2}, i{d3/2}, i{d5/2} 30 points along the complex p3/2 contour and 25 points for each real continuum Total dimension: dim(M) = 12552 Basis set 2: p-sd waves with 0p3/2 resonant and i{p3/2}, i{p1/2}, i{s1/2} non-resonant continua BUT d5/2 and d3/2 HO states. nmax = 5 and b = 2fm (We have for example 0d5/2, 1d5/2, 2d5/2, 3d5/2, 4d5/2 for nmax = 5) Total dimension: dim(M) = 5303 g.s energies for 6He Basis set 1 Basis set 2 Jπ : 0+ = - 0.9801 MeV Jπ : 0+ = - 0.9779 MeV Differences of the order of ~ 0.22 keV…

  16. GSM calculations for 6,8He nuclei Radial density of the 6He g.s. red and green curves correspond to the two different basis sets. • Energies and radial properties are equivalent in both representations. • The combination of Gamow states for low values of angular momentum and HO for higher, captures all the relevant physics while keeping the basis in a manageable size. • Applicable only with fully finite range forces (MN)…

  17. Charge Radii calculations for 6,8He nuclei Expression of charge radius in these coordinates Generalization to n-valence particles is straightforward complex scaling cannot be applied! Renormalization of the integral based on physical arguments (density) In our calculations we carried out the radial integration until 20fm

  18. Radial density of valence neutrons for the 6He cut • With an adequate number of points along the contour the fluctuations become minimal • We “cut” when for a given number of discretization points the fluctuations • are smeared out

  19. We calculated also the correlation angle for 6He PRC 76, 051602 Our result is: Angles estimated from the available B(E1) data and the average distances between neutrons. To be compared with Results on charge radii of 6,8He with MN interaction rpp(6He)= 1.85 fm rpp (8He) = 1.801 fm 8He

  21. Results on charge radii of 6He with SDI interaction rpp(6He) = 1.92 fm θnn =82.13o

  22. Comparison with other models and experiment

  23. Conclusion and Future Plans • The very precise measurements of 6,8Hehalos charge radii provide a valuable test of the configuration mixing and the effective interaction in nuclei close to the drip-lines. • The GSM description is appropriate for modelling weakly bound nuclei with large radial extension. • For 6He we observed an overall weak sensitivity for both correlation angle and charge radius. However, when adding 2 more neutrons in the system he details of each interaction are revealed. • The next step: charge radii 8He, 11Li, 11Be assuming an 4He core. The rapid increase in the dimensionality of the space will be handled by the GSM+DMRG method. (J.Rotureau et al PRL 97 110603, 2006 and PRC 79 014304, 2009) • Develop effective interaction for GSM applications in the p and p-sd shells that will open a window for a detailed description of weakly bound systems. The effective GSM interaction depends on the valence space, but also in the position of thethresholds and the position of the S-matrix poles

  24. Results and discussion • Different interactions lead to different configuration mixing. • 6He charge radius (Rch) is primarily related to the p3/2 occupation of the 2-body wavefunction. • The recent measurements put a constraint in our GSM Hamiltonian which is related to the p3/2 occupation. • We observe an overall weak sensitivity for both radii and the correlation angle.
