Toward a Spin- and Parity-Independent Nucleon-Nucleon Potential
A supersymmetric inversion method is applied to the singlet and
neutron-proton elastic phase shifts. The resulting central potential
has a one-pion-exchange (OPE) long-range behavior and a parity-independent
short-range part; it fits inverted data well. Adding a regularized OPE tensor
term also allows the reproduction of the triplet , and
phase shifts as well as of the deuteron binding energy. The potential is thus
also spin-independent (except for the OPE part) and contains no spin-orbit
term. These important simplifications of the neutron-proton interaction are
shown to be possible only if the potential possesses Pauli forbidden bound
states, as proposed in the Moscow nucleon-nucleon model.Comment: 9 pages, RevTeX, 5 ps figure
Supersymmetric transformations for coupled channels with threshold differences
The asymptotic behaviour of the superpotential of general SUSY
transformations for a coupled-channel Hamiltonian with different thresholds is
analyzed. It is shown that asymptotically the superpotential can tend to a
diagonal matrix with an arbitrary number of positive and negative entries
depending on the choice of the factorization solution. The transformation of
the Jost matrix is generalized to "non-conservative" SUSY transformations
introduced in Sparenberg et al (2006 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 39 L639). Applied
to the zero initial potential the method permits to construct superpartners
with a nontrivially coupled Jost-matrix. Illustrations are given for two- and
three-channel cases.Comment: 17 pages, 3 explicit examples and figures adde
Spectral properties of non-conservative multichannel SUSY partners of the zero potential
Spectral properties of a coupled potential model obtained with
the help of a single non-conservative supersymmetric (SUSY) transformation
starting from a system of radial Schr\"odinger equations with the zero
potential and finite threshold differences between the channels are studied.
The structure of the system of polynomial equations which determine the zeros
of the Jost-matrix determinant is analyzed. In particular, we show that the
Jost-matrix determinant has zeros which may all correspond to
virtual states. The number of bound states satisfies . The
maximal number of resonances is . A perturbation technique
for a small coupling approximation is developed. A detailed study of the
inverse spectral problem is given for the case.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figure
Clarification of the relationship between bound and scattering states in quantum mechanics: Application to 12C + alpha
Using phase-equivalent supersymmetric partner potentials, a general result
from the inverse problem in quantum scattering theory is illustrated, i.e.,
that bound-state properties cannot be extracted from the phase shifts of a
single partial wave, as a matter of principle. In particular, recent R-matrix
analyses of the 12C + alpha system, extracting the asymptotic normalization
constant of the 2+ subthreshold state, C12, from the l=2 elastic-scattering
phase shifts and bound-state energy, are shown to be unreliable. In contrast,
this important constant in nuclear astrophysics can be deduced from the
simultaneous analysis of the l=0, 2, 4, 6 partial waves in a simplified
potential model. A new supersymmetric inversion potential and existing models
give C12=144500+-8500 fm-1/2.Comment: Expanded version (50% larger); three errors corrected (conversion of

Eigenphase preserving two-channel SUSY transformations
We propose a new kind of supersymmetric (SUSY) transformation in the case of
the two-channel scattering problem with equal thresholds, for partial waves of
the same parity. This two-fold transformation is based on two imaginary
factorization energies with opposite signs and with mutually conjugated
factorization solutions. We call it an eigenphase preserving SUSY
transformation as it relates two Hamiltonians, the scattering matrices of which
have identical eigenphase shifts. In contrast to known phase-equivalent
transformations, the mixing parameter is modified by the eigenphase preserving
transformation.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figur
Darboux transformations for quasi-exactly solvable Hamiltonians
We construct new quasi-exactly solvable one-dimensional potentials through
Darboux transformations. Three directions are investigated:
Reducible and two types of irreducible second-order transformations. The
irreducible transformations of the first type give singular intermediate
potentials and the ones of the second type give complex-valued intermediate
potentials while final potentials are meaningful in all cases.
These developments are illustrated on the so-called radial sextic oscillator.Comment: 11 pages, Late
Many-body approach to proton emission and the role of spectroscopic factors
The process of proton emission from nuclei is studied by utilizing the
two-potential approach of Gurvitz and Kalbermann in the context of the full
many-body problem. A time-dependent approach is used for calculating the decay
width. Starting from an initial many-body quasi-stationary state, we employ the
Feshbach projection operator approach and reduce the formalism to an effective
one-body problem. We show that the decay width can be expressed in terms of a
one-body matrix element multiplied by a normalization factor. We demonstrate
that the traditional interpretation of this normalization as the square root of
a spectroscopic factor is only valid for one particular choice of projection
operator. This causes no problem for the calculation of the decay width in a
consistent microscopic approach, but it leads to ambiguities in the
interpretation of experimental results. In particular, spectroscopic factors
extracted from a comparison of the measured decay width with a calculated
single-particle width may be affected.Comment: 17 pages, Revte
Multi-channel phase-equivalent transformation and supersymmetry
Phase-equivalent transformation of local interaction is generalized to the
multi-channel case. Generally, the transformation does not change the number of
the bound states in the system and their energies. However, with a special
choice of the parameters, the transformation removes one of the bound states
and is equivalent to the multi-channel supersymmetry transformation recently
suggested by Sparenberg and Baye. Using the transformation, it is also possible
to add a bound state to the discrete spectrum of the system at a given energy
if the angular momentum at least in one of the coupled channels .Comment: 9 pages, revtex; to be published in Phys. At. Nucl. (Oct. 2000
