  12. Kuo-Herling interaction: Valence space • 208Pb is the core (Z=82, N=126). • For neutron-rich Lead isotopes, the N=6 major shell is involved • No shells beyond the magic numbers for neutrons S.p. energies (MeV) N=184 Shells -1.40 3d3/2 -1.45 2g7/2 4s1/2 -1.90 3d5/2 -2.37 -2.51 1j15/2 N=7 major shell -3.16 1i11/2 2g9/2 -3.94 N=126 E.K.

  14. Wave functions from Kuo-Herling The neutron 2g9/2shellhas a dominantrolefor the 8+isomeric state. 1i11/2 , 1j15/2 and 3d5/2also play a role 8+ state wave functions: occupational numbers show quite pure wave functions Occupational numbers The ground state wave functions are in general more fragmented, with the 1i11/2 shell around 25 - 30 %

  15. Reduced transition prob. B(E2) B(E2) calculatedconsideringinternalconversioncoefficients, and a 20-90 keVenergyinterval for unknowntransitions.

  16. Origin of discrepancies • The results are roughlyindependent of the interactionused: KH, CD-Bonn, etc. • Onepossibilityis the mixing of states 6+ with differentseniorites, butrequirestoo large change of the realisticinteraction Isnot the case • Seniority mixing with g9/2seniorityisomersalso for the first g9/2 ( neutrons: 70Ni - 76Ni, protons: 92Mo - 98Cd)

  18. Origin of discrepancies • The results are roughly independent of the interaction used: KH, CD-Bonn, Delta, Gaussian • One possibility is the mixing of states 6+ with different seniorites, but requires too large change of the realistic interaction  Is not the case • Seniority mixing with g9/2 seniority isomers also for the first g9/2 ( neutrons: 70Ni - 76Ni, protons: 92Mo - 98Cd) • So ….. • Need to introduce state-dependent effective charges? • Caution when using renormalised interactions

  22. Unified view

  23. Effective 3 body interactions Usually neglected! One body Two body Three body • Effective 3-body termsappearnaturally in the renormalizationprocess, butthey are NOT included in shell-model codes (ANTOINE and NATHAN): • Two-body operators (H) becomeeffective 3-body operators • One-body transitionoperators (B(E2)) becomeeffective 2-body operators

  24. Effective three-body forces The only way to include in a standard shell-model calculation (ANTOINE, NATHAN) the effective 3-body force and 2-body operators is to diagonalize usign the dressed wave function. Expectation value of the Hamiltonian and of the transition operators is calculated directly between the dressed wave functions, thus also including the many-body terms otherwise neglected. By allowingrelevantp-h excitations from the core to the g9/2shell to neutronshellsabove, we include the previuoslyneglectedterms . . . . . . ν shells above N=126 π shells above Z=82 2g9/2 2f7/2 quasi-SU3 Z=82 N=126 h11/2 i13/2 π ν In a perturbative approach, the bare g9/2 is «dressed» with p-h excitations from the 208Pb core

  28. Summary • Experiment with radioactivebeam, with the in-flighttechnique. Severalexperimentalchallengesovercome. • The neutron-richregionalongZ = 82 waspopulated, enabling to study the nuclearstructure in thisregion up to nowunknown due to experimentaldifficulties • The observedshellstructureseems to follow a seniorityscheme. However, a closer look reveals that the B(E2) values have an unexpected behaviour. B(E2) values are a sensitive probe to understand in detail the features of the nuclear force The mechanism of effective 3-body forcesis general, and could be relevantalso for otherparts of the nuclide chart. • Puzzle of the 210Hg  Need of furtherstudies • Many more isomers: 217Bi, 211-213Tl, 213Pb and remeasured: 208Hg

  32. Seniority mixing? ν=2 ν=4 Calculations by P. Van Isacker • Mixing between one ν=2 and two ν=4 states in 212,214Pb. The quadrupole matrix element to ν=4 states is more than five times the one to ν=2, and opposite in sign • Even a small mixing (few %) would be enough to correct the B(E2) value for 212Pb • One possibility is the mixing of states (6+) with seniority 4: need to modify the interaction

  33. p3/2 f7/2 Cr40 d5/2 g9/2 32Mg20 20 40 sd pf Building up collectivity quasi-SU3 Quadrupole deformation can be generated by using a quadrupole force with the central field in the subspace spanned by a sequence of Dj = 2 orbits that come lowest by the spin-orbit splitting representing this relevant subspace a quasi-SU3. In the Cr region it happens something similarto what happens in the Island of inversion 32Mg.

  34. Effective 3-body forces The only way to include in a standard shell-model calculation (ANTOINE, NATHAN) the effective 3-body forces and 2-body transitionoperatorsis to diagonalizeusing the dressedwavefunction N = 126 core break Z = 82 core break By allowing p-h excitations from the core to the g9/2shell, we include the previuoslyneglectedterms coupling to 2+ (and 3-) excitations from the core + GQR Constant eν = 0.5, eπ= 1.5

  35. Effective 3-body interactions We «dress» the bare g9/2 with p-h excitations from the 208Pb core N = 126 core break Z = 82 core break Usuallyneglected! One body Two body Three body By allowing p-h excitations from the core to the g9/2shell to neutronshellsabove, we include the previuoslyneglectedterms The only way to include in a standard shell-model calculation (ANTOINE, NATHAN) the effective 3-body force and 2-body operatorsis to diagonalizeusign the dressedwavefunction

  36. Conclusions • The neutron-rich Pb werepopulated, enabling to study the nuclearstructure in thisregion up to nowunknown due to experimentaldifficulties • The observedshellstructureseems to follow a seniorityscheme: However, a closer look reveals that the B(E2) values have an unexpected behaviour. B(E2) values might be a sensitive probe to understand in detail the features of the nuclear force  Seniority mixing; 3N forces, relevantvalencespace • Future: Measurement of B(E2) of the 2+0+ in Pb and Hg using transfer reactions and DSAM (backing target) 207Pb:TLF PRISMA BLF TLF Beam

  37. The seniority scheme Nucleons in a valence jn configuration behave according to a seniority scheme: the states can be labelled by their seniority ν SENIORITY SCHEME 8+ 8+ 8+ 8+ 6+ 6+ 6+ ν = 2 6+ 4+ 4+ 4+ 4+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 0+ 0+ 0+ 0+ ν = 0 (2g9/2)2 (2g9/2)4 (2g9/2)6 (2g9/2)8 For even-even nuclei, the 0+ ground state has seniority ν = 0, while the 2+, 4+, 6+, 8+ states have ν = 2 In a pure seniority scheme, the relative level energies do not depend on the number of particles in the shell j

  38. Core excitations below N=126 Anotherpossibilityis the inclusion of 2p-2h excitations from the N=126 core. Calculations in BCS, butunable to reproduceresults with shell-model codes Developing a new interaction with A. Zuker and F. Nowacki to break up the N=126 shell gap.

  39. 3N forces in the 208Pb region

  40. Charge state selection • Formation of many charge states owing to interactions with materials • Isotope identification is more complicated • Need to disentangle nuclei that change their charge state after S2 deg. (Br)Ta-S2 – (Br)S2-S4 DQ=-1 217Pb_sett DQ=0 215Pb_sett DQ=-2 Z DQ=+1 Br1 - Br2 Br1 - Br2

  41. Reduced transition prob. B(E2) B(E2) calculatedconsideringinternalconversioncoefficients, and a 20-90 keVenergyinterval for unknowntransitions. Pure seniorityscheme for g9/2 9 : 1 : 1 : 9 • Large discrepancies: • Seniorityscheme • Shell model KH eν = 0.8 PLB 606, 34 (2005) ?

  42. Theory of effective interactions Instead of applying the perturbation theory to the operators involved in the problems, it is the wave function that is developed in a perturbative manner. The idea is to start from a bare many-body state and then dress it, giving origin to a quasiconguration.

  43. Nuclear shell theory Amos-de-Shalit I. Talmi In una singola j-shell la seniorità si mescola solo se si mescolano le seniorità 1 e 3. Tuttavia nelle j-shell minori di 9/2 è impossibile avere due stati con lo stesso momento angolare e seniorità 1 e 3, per cui non ci può essere mescolamento fra queste due seniorità e quindi fra nessuna seniorità sotto j=9/2.
