    Δ(1232)\Delta(1232) Isobar Excitations and the Ground State of Nuclei

    Full text link
    The influence of Δ\Delta isobar components on the ground state properties of nuclear systems is investigated for nuclear matter as well as finite nuclei. Many-body wave functions, including isobar configurations, and binding energies are evaluated employing the framework of the coupled-cluster theory. It is demonstrated that the effect of isobar configurations depends in a rather sensitive way on the model used for the baryon-baryon interaction. As examples for realistic baryon-baryon interactions with explicit inclusion of isobar channels we use the local (V28V28) and non-local meson exchange potentials (Bonn2000_{2000}) but also a model recently developed by the Salamanca group, which is based on a quark picture. The differences obtained for the nuclear observables are related to the treatment of the interaction, the π\pi-exchange contributions in particular, at high momentum transfers.Comment: 12 pages, including 5 figure
