題目: ハンズオンで学ぶ核力の基礎
講師: 福井徳朗 氏 (九州大学基幹教育院・助教)
2月26日(水) 10:30 ~ 17:30
2月27日(木) 10:30 ~ 17:30
2月28日(金) 10:30 ~ 17:30
場 所: 計算科学研究センター会議室A
概要:核力はフェムトスケールの量子系である原子核の存在形態やダイナミクスを微視的に理解する鍵である。本講義では、核力の基礎を数値計算を通じてハンズオン形式で学ぶ。数値計算にはPythonを使用するが、Pythonの予備知識を必要としない内容とするつもりである。また、核力が核子多体系の性質をどのように支配しているのかという点についても言及する(こちらはハンズオンではない)。

ハンズオン実習に参加するためノートPC等を持参することが望ましい。

Title:: Deformability of neutron-deficient Sn nuclei and related topics studied with semi-realistic interaction
Abstract:: As experimental data in unstable nuclei have been accumulated, it has been recognized that magic numbers are more fragile than believed previously. Whereas the Sn nuclei have been considered typical spherical nuclei, the E2 transitions in neutron-deficient Sn nuclei are hard to describe within the conventional picture. The deformability of the neutron-deficient Sn nuclei will be argued, based on self-consistent calculations with a semi-realistic interaction, The relevance of the pseudo-spin symmetry and the roles of the tensor force in it will also be argued.

Title: Large-scale shell model study of β- -decay properties of N = 126, 125 nuclei along the r-process path

Abstract: The rapid neutron capture process (r-process) is the most important mechanism for the synthesis of about half of the elements heavier than iron. It occurs in an environment with relatively high temperatures and high neutron densities. The abundances of the elements created by the r-process strongly depend on several nuclear inputs like masses, neutron capture rates, β-decay rates, and β-delayed neutron emission probabilities at the waiting point nuclei. Among them, the β-decay process plays a crucial role in the r-process. We have investigated various nuclear β-decay properties of N = 126,125 isotones with proton numbers Z = 52 − 79 within the framework of the nuclear shell model. This comprehensive analysis considered both Gamow-Teller (GT) and first-forbidden (FF) transitions to evaluate β-decay rates. We have found that including FF transitions in addition to GT transitions is essential, as they significantly impact the total β-decay half-lives near Z = 82. Additionally, we systematically analyzed the GT strength distributions as a function of proton number. We have observed that the GT strengths at low excitation energies are rather strong on the proton deficient side due to the increasing number of proton holes in the proton 0h_{11/2} orbit, which accelerates GT decay. This investigation aims to provide detailed information on β-decay properties around A ≈ 195 to understand the distribution of the third r-process abundance peak.

Title: Neutron-rich nuclei and neutron skins from chiral low-resolution interactions
Abstract: The quest for an ab initio description of atomic nuclei has benefited recently from a lot of progress in the development of chiral interactions, allowing for predictions to span the nuclear chart up to 208Pb. Still, an accurate description of all nuclear structure properties on the basis of one single interaction remains out of reach to this day. In this talk, we will introduce two low-resolution chiral interactions recently developed for the description of bulk properties of nuclei [1], from ground-state energies to density distributions. In particular, we will discuss how they shade a new light on the neutron skin, that connects finite nuclei to neutron stars and the description of infinite matter.
