Extended RPA with ground-state correlations

Abstract

We propose a time-independent method for finding a correlated ground state of an extended time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory, known as the time-dependent density-matrix theory (TDDM). The correlated ground state is used to formulate the small amplitude limit of TDDM (STDDM) which is a version of extended RPA theories with ground-state correlations. To demonstrate the feasibility of the method, we calculate the ground state of 22O and study the first 2+ state and its two-phonon states using STDDM.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figure
