Chiral geometry and rotational structure for Cs in the projected shell model
The projected shell model with configuration mixing for nuclear chirality is
developed and applied to the observed rotational bands in the chiral nucleus
Cs. For the chiral bands, the energy spectra and electromagnetic
transition probabilities are well reproduced. The chiral geometry illustrated
in the and the is confirmed to be stable against the
configuration mixing. The other rotational bands are also described in the same
framework
Impact of pairing correlations on the orientation of the nuclear
For the first time, the tilted axis cranking covariant density functional
theory with pairing correlations has been formulated and implemented in a fully
self-consistent and microscopic way to investigate the evolution of the spin
axis and the pairing effects in rotating triaxial nuclei. The measured energy
spectrum and transition probabilities for the Nd-135 yrast band are reproduced
well without any ad hoc renormalization factors when pairing effects are taken
into account. A transition from collective to chiral rotation has been
demonstrated. It is found that pairing correlations introduce additional
admixtures in the single-particle orbitals, and, thus, influence the structure
of tilted axis rotating nuclei by reducing the magnitude of the proton and
neutron angular momenta while merging their direction.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
Solving Dirac equations on a 3D lattice with inverse Hamiltonian and spectral methods
A new method to solve the Dirac equation on a 3D lattice is proposed, in
which the variational collapse problem is avoided by the inverse Hamiltonian
method and the fermion doubling problem is avoided by performing spatial
derivatives in momentum space with the help of the discrete Fourier transform,
i.e., the spectral method. This method is demonstrated in solving the Dirac
equation for a given spherical potential in 3D lattice space. In comparison
with the results obtained by the shooting method, the differences in single
particle energy are smaller than ~MeV, and the densities are almost
identical, which demonstrates the high accuracy of the present method. The
results obtained by applying this method without any modification to solve the
Dirac equations for an axial deformed, non-axial deformed, and octupole
deformed potential are provided and discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure
Multi chiral-doublets in one single nucleus
Adiabatic and configuration-fixed constraint triaxial relativistic mean field
(RMF) approaches are developed for the first time and a new phenomenon, the
existence of multi chiral-doublets (MD), i.e., more than one pairs of
chiral doublets bands in one single nucleus, is suggested for nuclei in A~100
region, typically for Rh, based on the triaxial deformations together
with their corresponding proton and neutron configurations.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
