Kinetic, central and spin – orbit contributions to the energy difference between the states 2s1/2 and 1d3/2 Grasso, Ma,Khan, Margueron, Van Giai, PRC 76, 044319 (2007)
Extension of RPA: starting from the Hamiltonian a boson image is introduced via a mapping procedure (Marumori type) Approximation: Degree of expansion of the boson Hamiltonian (quadratic -> standard RPA) If higher-order terms are introduced the RPA equations are non linear (the matrices A and B depend on the amplitudes X and Y)

Spin – orbit potential Non relativistic case and standard Skyrme forces q, q’ -> proton or neutron Relativistic case The potential is proportional to
Hartree-Fock equations with the equivalent potential. Equivalent potential: Central term
Kinetic contribution Central contribution Spin-orbit contribution
Important contributions of the HF potential Central term It favors the inversion Density-dependent term Against the inversion
…and the tensor contribution? • Shell model : T. Otsuka, et al., PRL 95, 232502 (2005) • Relativistic mean field: RHFB : W. Long, et al., PLB 640, 150 (2006) • Non relativistic mean field: • Skyrme : G. Colò, et al., PLB 646, 227 (2007) • Gogny : T. Otsuka, et al., PRL 97, 162501 (2006)
