Abstract

We apply the realistic shell model which includes the coupling between many-particle (quasi-) bound states and the continuum of one-particle scattering states to the spectroscopy of mirror nuclei ⁸B and ⁸Li, as well as to the description of low-energy cross sections (the astrophysical S-factors) in the capture reactions ⁷Be(p, γ)⁸B and ⁷Li(n, γ)⁸Li.

The role of three-nucleon potentials within the shell model: Past and present
2024, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
We survey the impact of nuclear three-body forces on structure properties of nuclei within the shell model. It has long been acknowledged, since the seminal works of Zuker and coworkers, that three-body forces play a fundamental role in making the monopole component of shell-model Hamiltonians, derived from realistic nucleon–nucleon potentials, able to reproduce the observed evolution of the shell structure. In the vast majority of calculations, however, their effects have been taken into account by shell-model practitioners by introducing ad hoc modifications of the monopole matrix elements. During last twenty years, a new theoretical approach, framed within the chiral perturbation theory, has progressed in developing nuclear potentials, where two- and many-body components are naturally and consistently built in. This new class of nuclear forces allows to carry out nuclear structure studies that are improving our ability to understand nuclear phenomena in a microscopic approach. We provide in this work an update on the status of the nuclear shell model based on realistic Hamiltonians that are derived from two- and three-nucleon chiral potentials, focusing on the role of the three-body component to provide the observed shell evolution and closure properties, as well as the location of driplines. To this end, we present the results of shell-model calculations and their comparison with recent experimental measurements, which enlighten the relevance of the inclusion of three-nucleon forces to master our knowledge of the physics of atomic nuclei.
Chiral three-nucleon force and continuum for dripline nuclei and beyond

Therefore the bound and spatially-localized harmonic oscillator (HO) basis is no longer effective in expressing the widely-spread resonant and continuum states. In the last two decades, the conventional shell model (SM) has been extended to include the continuum effect, e.g., shell model embedded in the continuum [7–10] and continuum-coupled shell model [11]. An elegant treatment of the continuum effect is based on the Berggren method [12], which generalizes one-body Schrödinger equation to a complex-momentum plane, creating naturally bound, resonant and continuum single-particle states.
Three-nucleon force and continuum play important roles in reproducing the properties of atomic nuclei around driplines. Therefore it is valuable to build up a theoretical framework where both effects can be taken into account to solve the nuclear Schrödinger equation. To this end, in this letter, we have expressed the chiral three-nucleon force within the continuum Berggren representation, so that bound, resonant and continuum states can be treated on an equal footing in the complex-momentum space. To reduce the model dimension and computational cost, the three-nucleon force is truncated at the normal-ordered two-body level and limited in the sd-shell model space, with the residual three-body term being neglected. We choose neutron-rich oxygen isotopes as the test ground because they have been well studied experimentally, with the neutron dripline determined. The calculations have been carried out within the Gamow shell model. The quality of our results in reproducing the properties of oxygen isotopes around the neutron dripline shows the relevance of the interplay between three-nucleon force and the coupling to continuum states. We also analyze the role played by the chiral three-nucleon force, by dissecting the contributions of the 2π exchange, 1π exchange and contact terms.
Resonance and continuum Gamow shell model with realistic nuclear forces
2017, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
Starting from realistic nuclear forces, we have developed a core Gamow shell model which can describe resonance and continuum properties of loosely-bound or unbound nuclear systems. To describe properly resonance and continuum, the Berggren representation has been employed, which treats bound, resonant and continuum states on equal footing in a complex-momentum (complex-k) plane. To derive the model-space effective interaction based on realistic forces, the full $\hat{Q}$ -box folded-diagram renormalization has been, for the first time, extended to the nondegenerate complex-k space. The CD-Bonn potential is softened by using the $V_{low- k}$ method. Choosing ¹⁶O as the inert core, we have calculated sd-shell neutron-rich oxygen isotopes, giving good descriptions of both bound and resonant states. The isotopes ^25,26O are calculated to be resonant even in their ground states.
