  5. Main accomplishments since last meeting • Science: • Long article on nuclear structure with NN interactions from chiral EFT • Quenching of spectroscopic factors for proton removal in neutron oxygen isotopes (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2011). • Computation of one-nucleon overlap functions for nuclear reactions and scattering (unpublished) • Computation of intrinsic densities with application to oxygen isotopes (unpublished) • Towards open shell nuclei with CCM extension to A±2: 18O and 26F • Coupled-cluster theory for nuclear matter. Implemented exact Pauli operator and HF + MBPT(2). • Constraining EDFs from ab-initio CC theory (See J. Holt’s talk) • Computing / algorithm developments: • Implementation of J-coupled code for computing one-nucleon overlaps and spectroscopic factors • Implementation of two-particle attached EOM-CCSD in J-coupled scheme.

  6. Saturation of N3LO (NN only) in medium mass nuclei Benchmarks in light nuclei: Coupled-cluster meets few-body benchmarks for 4He. Recent IT-NCSM and UMOA calculations of 16O agree with CCM. R. Roth et al, arXiv:1105.3173 (2011) Fujii et al, PRL 103, 182501(2009) G. Hagen, T. Papenbrock, D. J. Dean, M. Hjorth-Jensen, Phys. Rev. C 82, 034330 (2010).

  7. Overlap functions and spectroscopic factors Microscopic definition of Spectroscopic Factors (SF): Elastic scattering, capture and transfer of a nucleon on/to a target nucleus with mass A is given by the overlap function The norm of the overlap functions defines the spectroscopic factor: Asymptotic properties of the one-nucleon overlap function: Outside the range of the interaction the overlap function is proportional to a single-particle wave function.

  8. Quenching of SFs for proton removal in the oxygens • SF is a useful tool to study the role correlations toward the dripline. • We find a significant quenching of the SFs due to enhanced correlations coming from coupling to the scattering continuum. • Ø. Jensen, G. Hagen and M. Hjorth-Jensen, Phys. Rev. C(R) 83, 021305 (2011) • Ø. Jensen, G. Hagen, Hjorth-Jensen, Brown, Gade, in press Phys. Rev. Lett. (2011) arXiv:1104.1552 • For threshold effects in SFs see N. Michel et al Phys. Rev. C(R) 75, 031301 (2007)

  9. Asymptotic normalization coefficients Overlap function for a bound A + 1 nucleus: We use an SRG evolved interaction with cutoff 2.66 fm-1. The CCSD ground state energy for 16O in N = 11 major shells is 140.52 MeV. One neutron overlap functions for the bound J = 1/2+ state in 17O with the ground state of 16O. For 17O we get E(1/2+) = -3.83 MeV.

  10. Elastic scattering of neutrons on 16O with CCM(Preliminary) Overlap functions provides a simple and intuitive picture of reactions Left figure: One neutron overlap functions for various J = 1=2+ scattering states in 17O using SRG evolved interaction with cutoff = 2.66fm-1 Right figure: By matching the known asymptotic form of the overlap functions to scattering solutions we can extract low-energy elastic scattering phase shifts.

  11. Intrinsic densities from microscopic CCM Computing intrinsic densities The one-body density matrix for the A and A-1 nuclei are computed in the coupled-cluster formalism and the local laboratory density is CC wave function factorizes and the CoM wave function is a Gaussian with fixed width (G. Hagen et al Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 062503 (2009)) We can get the internal density by a deconvolution of the local laboratory density (B. G. Giraud, Phys. Rev. C 77, 014311 (2008))

  12. Matter and charge radii in the 21,22,23,24Oisotopes Binding energies of 21,22,23,24O with respect to the ground state of 21O. Point matter and charge radii for computed from intrinsic densities For the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction we used the SRG evolved N3LO nucleon-nucleon interaction with momentum cutoffs = 3.6, 3.8, 4.0fm-1.

  13. Matter and charge radii in the 21,22,23,24Oisotopes Binding energies of 21,22,23,24O with respect to the ground state of 21O. Point matter and charge radii for computed from intrinsic densities For the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction we used the SRG evolved N3LO nucleon-nucleon interaction with momentum cutoffs = 3.6, 3.8, 4.0fm-1.

  14. Going beyond closed-shell nuclei. Low-lying states in 18O and 26F (Preliminary) Two-particle attached coupled-cluster works very well for low-lying states in open-shell nuclei like 18O and 26F. Our results for 26F seem to suggest a more compressed spectrum as compared to USDA/USDB calculations. G. Jansen, M. Hjorth-Jensen, G. Hagen, T. Papenbrock, Phys. Rev. C 83, 054306 (2011).

  15. Low-lying states in neutron rich Potassium isotopes Proton separation energies 40,48,52,54,60Ca. Low lying states in Potassium isotopes calculated using PA/PR-EOMCCSD with “bare" chiral interactions. Model space consists of 15 major harmonic oscillator shells with fixed oscillator frequency hw = 30MeV.

  16. Coupled-cluster theory for nuclear matter(Preliminary) Implemented exact Pauli operator in relative-center of mass coordinates Implemented Hartree-Fock and MBPT(2) for nuclear matter in relative and Center-of-mass coordinates. Code has been validated and verified using Argonne-V18 and vlow-k. Particle-particle and hole-hole ladders are in progress. Particle-hole channels will be implemented using exact and angle average Pauli operator

  17. Progress for years 4-5 Project is reasonably well on track

  18. Computational status • Data organization • Interaction spread across processors • cluster amplitudes stored locally • oxygen-16 in 20 shells ~ 1500 processor hours per model space • oxygen-28 with continuum: total cost of about 100,000 CPU hours on Jaguar. • Challenge • Number of j-coupled matrix elements of interactions fluctuate strongly for given sets of quantum numbers • load balancing non-trivial: Calculation of estimated computational cost  distribution of data • scaling (load-balancing) up to few thousand processors • Working on optimizing code with OpenMP.

  19. Future plans (remainder of year 5 and outlook) • Interface with DFT, and toward ab initio reactions • Compute phaseshifts for elastic scattering of neutrons on selected closed shell nuclei using one-nucleon overlap functions. • Constraining EDFs from ab-initio coupled-cluster theory • Develop spherical EOM-CCSD code for general spin and compute dipole response function using Lorentz integral transform. • Role of three-nucleon forces in medium-mass nuclei • Outlook / SciDAC-3 ? • Ab initio computation of 48Ca with 3NF as possible highlight • Validation and verification of nuclear forces from Chiral EFT with uncertainty quantification. • Exploring Magic Numbers at the extreme using nuclear coupled-cluster • One- and two-nucleon overlap functions from coupled-cluster theory • Time dependent coupled-cluster approach to reactions • Nuclear matter (PhD student Gustav Baardsen from UiO)
