Title:: Generator coordinate method with basis optimization
Abstract:: The generator coordinate method (GCM) has been a well-known method to describe nuclear collective motions. In GCM, one a priori specifies collective degrees of freedom (collective coordinates), such as nuclear deformations, and superposes many Slater determinants (SDs) within the selected collective subspace. However, there always exists arbitrariness in this approach in the choice of collective coordinates, for which one has to rely on empirical and phenomenological theory. With such a choice, it is not trivial whether the collective motion of interest can be optimally described. Therefore, a description of the collective motion without pre-set collective coordinates is desirable in order not to miss important degrees of freedom.
Recently, we extended GCM by optimizing both the basis SDs and the weight functions according to the variational principle [1]. With such simultaneous optimization of the basis states, one does not have to specify beforehand the relevant collective degrees of freedom covered by the set of basis SDs. In this seminar, I will present results of this new approach for sd-shell nuclei. Using the Skyrme functional, I will show that the optimized bases correspond to excited states along a collective path, unlike the conventional GCM which superposes only the local ground states. I will also discuss the interaction dependence of the numerical results.

Title: Configuration-Interaction Shell Model (CISM) Understanding of Exotic Nuclei
Abstract: A solid grasp of nuclear forces and models is indispensable to understanding the quantum many-body systems, such as atomic nuclei. There is a wealth of data about exotic nuclei far from the stability line, encompassing information regarding energy levels, electromagnetic characteristics, and α and β decays. Describing these properties within a unified model and under a unified nuclear force is valuable.
In this presentation, I will introduce the Configuration-Interaction Shell Model (CISM) and its applications in exotic nuclei, from light to heavy ones. New nuclides, such as 214U, 207Th, and 18Mg, and their implications for nuclear structure will be discussed. Additionally, I will delve into the analysis of isomeric states within Ag and In isotopes and N = 127 isotones, utilizing nuclear interactions and focusing on Type I and II shell evolution. The talk will also introduce cross-shell excitations and isospin symmetry in light nuclei, highlighting the strongest isospin mixing observed in β decays. Lastly, preliminary findings will be presented regarding the uncertainty associated with CISM when employing a unified nuclear force with varying strengths in proton-proton and neutron-neutron interactions.
