And Two-Nucleon Halo Nuclei in Effective Field Theory (160 Pp.) Director of Dissertation: Daniel R Properties of One- and Two-Nucleon Halo Nuclei in Effective Field Theory A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Bijaya Acharya May 2015 © 2015 Bijaya Acharya. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Properties of One- and Two-Nucleon Halo Nuclei in Effective Field Theory by BIJAYA ACHARYA has been approved for the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the College of Arts and Sciences by Daniel R. Phillips Professor of Physics and Astronomy Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract ACHARYA, BIJAYA, Ph.D., May 2015, Physics Properties of One- and Two-Nucleon Halo Nuclei in Effective Field Theory (160 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Daniel R. Phillips Halo nuclei have much larger sizes than other nuclei with a similar number of protons and neutrons. This is the result of the fact that the probability distribution of one or more nucleons in halo nuclei extends to much larger distances than that of the rest of the nucleons. Halo Effective Field Theory exploits the separation of scales between the size of the halo to that of the “core” to derive the correlations between low-energy observables as systematic expansions in the ratio of the size of halo to that of the core, with error estimates. We use this approach to calculate the reduced transition probability for E1 excitation of the halo neutron of 19C to the continuum up to next-to-next-to leading order in this expansion. By comparing the prediction with the Coulomb dissociation data from RIKEN, accurate results for the one-neutron separation energy and asymptotic normalization coefficient are extracted. Good agreement with data is also found for the longitudinal momentum distribution of the Coulomb dissociation cross section. We then derive universal relations for the matter radii of two-neutron halos and apply them to 22C to analyze its matter radius, which we use as input to constrain 21C and 22C energies. Even after accounting for the combined theoretical and 1 − σ experimental errors, the matter radius value imposes an upper bound of 100 keV in the two-neutron separation energy of 22C. We also derive universal relations for the E1 excitation of two-neutron halo nuclei and discover a simple scaling of the B(E1) spectrum with the three-body binding energy when all two-body subsystems are in the unitary limit. We compare our results with the data for 11Li, and make predictions for the outcome of an ongoing experiment on 22C. 4 Acknowledgments This dissertation could not have been completed without the guidance, participation, suggestions and encouragement I received from many people over the last five years.

These characteristics include a 4-GeV electron beam, a precision tracker, electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters with near 2p azimuthal acceptance from the forward beam axis out to 40◦ angle, and low reconstruction energy threshold. LDMX thus could provide (semi)exclusive cross section measurements, with∼ detailed information about final-state electrons, pions, protons, and neutrons. We compare the predictions of two widely used neutrino generators (GENIE, GiBUU) in the LDMX region of acceptance to illustrate the large modeling discrepancies in electron-nucleus interactions at DUNE-like kinematics.

  • From Quark and Nucleon Correlations to Discrete Symmetry and Clustering
    From quark and nucleon correlations to discrete symmetry and clustering in nuclei G. Musulmanbekov JINR, Dubna, RU-141980, Russia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Starting with a quark model of nucleon structure in which the valence quarks are strongly correlated within a nucleon, the light nu- clei are constructed by assuming similar correlations of the quarks of neighboring nucleons. Applying the model to larger collections of nucleons reveals the emergence of the face-centered cubic (FCC) sym- metry at the nuclear level. Nuclei with closed shells possess octahedral symmetry. Binding of nucleons are provided by quark loops formed by three and four nucleon correlations. Quark loops are responsible for formation of exotic (borromean) nuclei, as well. The model unifies independent particle (shell) model, liquid-drop and cluster models. 1 Introduction arXiv:1708.04437v2 [nucl-th] 19 Sep 2017 Historically there are three well known conventional nuclear models based on different assumption about the phase state of the nucleus: the liquid-drop, shell (independent particle), and cluster models. The liquid-drop model re- quires a dense liquid nuclear interior (short mean-free-path, local nucleon interactions and space-occupying nucleons) in order to predict nuclear bind- ing energies, radii, collective oscillations, etc. In contrast, in the shell model each point nucleon moves in mean-field potential created by other nucleons; the model predicts the existence of nucleon orbitals and shell-like orbital- filling. The cluster models require the assumption of strong local-clustering 1 of particularly the 4-nucleon alpha-particle within a liquid or gaseous nuclear interior in order to make predictions about the ground and excited states of cluster configurations.

    Nuclear structure investigation of even-even Sn isotopes within the covariant density functional theory Y. EL BASSEM1, M. OULNE2 High Energy Physics and Astrophysics Laboratory, Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences SEMLALIA, Cadi Ayyad University, P.O.B. 2390, Marrakesh, Morocco. Abstract The current investigation aims to study the ground-state properties of one of the most interesting isotopic chains in the periodic table, 94−168Sn, from the proton drip line to the neutron drip line by using the covariant density functional theory, which is a modern theoretical tool for the description of nuclear structure phenomena. The physical observables of interest include the binding energy, separation energy, two-neutron shell gap, rms-radii for protons and neutrons, pairing energy and quadrupole deformation. The calculations are performed for a wide range of neutron numbers, starting from the proton-rich side up to the neutron-rich one, by using the density- dependent meson-exchange and the density dependent point-coupling effec- tive interactions. The obtained results are discussed and compared with available experimental data and with the already existing results of rela- tivistic Mean Field (RMF) model with NL3 functional. The shape phase transition for Sn isotopic chain is also investigated. A reasonable agreement is found between our calculated results and the available experimental data. Keywords: Ground-state properties, Sn isotopes, covariant density functional theory. arXiv:1904.10318v1 [nucl-th] 20 Apr 2019 1. INTRODUCTION In nuclear

Little is known about this system beyond its two-neutron separation energy (S2n) with large uncertainties. A similar situation is found for the low-lying spectrum of its unbound binary subsystem 28F. Purpose: To investigate the configuration mixing, matter radius and neutron-neutron correlations in the ground- state of 29F within a three-body model, exploring the possibility of 29F to be a two-neutron halo nucleus. Method: The 29F ground-state wave function is built within the hyperspherical formalism by using an analytical transformed harmonic oscillator basis. The Gogny-Pires-Tourreil (GPT) nn interaction with central, spin-orbit and tensor terms is employed in the present calculations, together with different core + n potentials constrained by the available experimental information on 28F. Results: The 29F ground-state configuration mixing and its matter radius are computed for different choices of 28 the F structure and S2n value. The admixture of d-waves with pf components are found to play an important role, favouring the dominance of dineutron configurations in the wave function.

Gutachter: PD Dr. Stefan Leupold Verteidigt am 28. Januar 2009 Abstract The modifications of hadronic properties caused by an ambient nuclear medium are investigated within the scope of QCD sum rules. This is exemplified for the cases of the ω meson, the nucleon and the D meson. By virtue of the sum rules, integrated spectral densities of these hadrons are linked to properties of the QCD ground state, quantified in condensates. For the cases of the ω meson and the nucleon it is discussed how the sum rules allow a restriction of the parameter range of poorly known four-quark condensates by a comparison of experimental and theoretical knowledge. The catalog of independent four-quark condensates is covered and relations among these condensates are revealed. The behavior of four-quark condensates under the chiral symmetry group and the relation to order parameters of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking are outlined. In this respect, also the QCD condensates appearing in differences of sum rules of chiral partners are investigated. Finally, the effects of an ambient nuclear medium on the D meson are discussed and relevant condensates are identified.

Even though Yarious theoretical methods have been suggested, based upon the particular aspects of experimental results, it has been impossible to find a successful theory which suffices to explain the whole observed properties of atomic nuclei. In 1936, Bohr (J, P• 344) proposed the liquid drop model of atomic nuclei to explain the resonance capture process or nuclear reactions. The experimental evidences which support the liquid drop model are as follows: 1. Substantially constant density of nuclei with radius R - R Al/3 - 0 (1) where A is the mass number of the nucleus and R is the constant of proportionality 0 with the value of (1.5! 0.1) x 10-lJcm~ 2.
