Resonant states in the shell model Andrey Shirokov (Moscow State Univ.) In collaboration with Alexander Mazur (Pacific National Univ.) Pieter Maris and James Vary (Iowa State Univ.) INT, Seattle, June 8, 2011
Conventional: bound state energies are associated with variational minimum in shell model, NCSM, etc., calculations • Is it also true for resonant states? Can we get resonance width from such calculations? Problem
Resonant states: should we, probably, study excitation energies instead? Or the energies E = EA− EA − 1for n−(A−1) scattering (or, generally, with A1 + A2 = A)? • Is it important for them to be stable with respect to ħΩ or Nmax variation? Problem
Would be nice to have a simple answer from conventional calculations without doing, say, complicated NCSM−RGM calculations. • So, what are the general properties of eigenstates in continuum consistent with resonance at the energy Er and width Γ? • Some observations, examples follow; this is still work in progress.

So, what are the general properties of eigenstates in continuum consistent with resonance at the energy Er and width Γ? • Some observations, examples follow; this is still work in progress. • I discuss some general properties for oscillator basis calculations; this is the only relavance to NCSM Problem

C 81, 064003 (2010): • I.M.Lifshitz (1947): Unfortunately, this does not work: The dimensionality of the matrix is small, the average spacing between the levels is not well-defined. One needs sometimes Dj value below the lowest Ej0 “Pushing” point
J-matrix formalism:scattering in the oscillator basis Direct and inverse problem
J-matrix inverse N-nucleusscattering analysis suggests values for resonant and non-resonant states that should be compared with that obtained in NCSM Immediate result: inverse scattering
J-matrix: Let us try to extract resonance information from Eλbehavior only Resonance
Eλshould increase with ħΩ Within narrow resonance Eλisnearly ħΩ-independent The slope of Eλ(ħΩ) depends however on Nmax, l, Eλ value ħΩ dependence
Breit-Wigner: • Simple approximation: φ=0 Resonance parameters Derivatives calculated through
Breit-Wigner: • Simple approximation: φ=0 Do not expect to get a reasonable result for Eror Γ if Γ/2Δ is small! If |Γ/2Δ| is large, we get good results for Er, Γ and φ. Resonance parameters Derivatives calculated through
What can we do if we obtain Eλin a non-resonant region above the resonance? • We can extrapolate energies to larger (finite) Nmax value when Eλis in the resonant region. • Expected dependence is Resonance parameters
This works. However this extrapolation seems to be unstable and inconvenient Resonance parameters
More convenient is an exponential extrapolation. Resonance parameters
We get stable Erand Γ; Γ is too small as compared with experiment. Resonance in nα scattering
I discussed general features of continuum states obtained in many-body calculations with oscillator basis. • The best way to compare the calculated results with experiment is to use “experimental” phase shifts and get Eλ consistent with scattering data using simple inverse scattering technique. • Studying ħΩ dependence of Eλ obtained in NCSM, one can get resonance energy and width.However, usually an extrapolation to a reasonable Nmax value is required.
