Linear response functions in infinite matter with Skyrme-type interactions Nguyen Van Giai Institut de Physique Nucléaire Université Paris-Sud, Orsay ESNT 2012
Outline of talk: 1. Self-consistent mean field and RPA linear response 2. Skyrme interaction and RPA in infinite medium 3. Closed form expressions of response functions 4. Odd-moment sum rules and instabilities 5. Conclusion ESNT 2012
1. Self-consistent meanfield and RPA linearresponse • Why are weusing the Random Phase Aproximation? • EnergyDensityFunctionals (EDF) are builtprimarily for predictingground state properties of nuclearsystems, via Hartree-Fockor more generalmeanfieldapproaches • An important class of excitationsconsists of small amplitude vibrations • RPA isthe small amplitude limit of TDHF, and the p-h interaction isuniquelyderivedfrom the EDF: • The sssssss The RPA eigenmodes reflect the Instabilities of the mean field ESNT 2012
Advantages: • - studyground states and excitations of nuclearsystemswithin one framework (EDF) • - the s.c. RPA enables one to evaluatevariousenergy-weightedsumruleswithoutcalculatingdetailedresponsefunctions. • Drawbacks: • In atomicphysics one has theoreticallywellestablished EDF, but not in nuclearphysicswhere applications are donemostlywithSkyrme-type EDF • Why are sumrulemethodsuseful? • One canevaluate the global properties of nuclear excitations without extensive calculations (cf., O. Bohigas, A.M. Lane, J. Martorell, Phys. Rep. 51, 267 (1979); E. Lipparini, S. Stringari, Phys. Rep. 175, 103 (1989) ESNT 2012
- In this presentation we concentrate only on homogeneous nuclear matter in the framework of Skyrme-type EDF, because analytical expressions can be obtained. • - Many RPA studies of finite nuclei have been performed (Skyrme forces, Gogny forces, realistic interactions,…), they will be discussed in this workshop.

Summary The Skyrme EDF allows one to carry out detailed analytical calculations of nuclear responses in homogeneous medium one has a practical tool for evaluating strong points/defects of various parametrizations - present studies of effects of tensor component on responses are timely ESNT 2012
