Metastable states embedded in the continuum
are measured.
Very dilute matter distribution
Extreme clusterization close to particle thresholds.
Provide stringent constraints to theory
But also: Theory is in need for predictions and supporting certain experimental aspects
Dimension of the problem increases
One size does not fit all!

•
The very notion of the mean-field
and shell structure is under question
•
Nuclei are open quantum system and
the openness is governed by the Sn
• Weak binding and the proximity
of the continuum affects bulk properties
and spectra of nuclei.
Especially the clusterization of matter is a generic property of the coupling
to the continuum (or the impact of the open reaction channels).
Clusterization does not depend on the specific characteristics of the NN interaction

The Berggren basis (cont’d)
T.Berggren (1968)
NP A109, 265
The eigenstates of the 1b
Shrödinger equtaion form a complete basis, IF:
we also consider the L+ scattering states
are complex continuum states
along the L+ contour
(they satisfy scattering b.c)
The shape of the contour is arbitrary, and any state between
the contour and the real axis can be expanded in such as basis
(proof by T. Berggren)
In practice the continuum is discretized via a quadrature rule (e.g Gauss-Legendre):

Complex Scaling Method in a Slater basis
A.T.Kruppa, G.Papadimitriou, W.Nazarewicz, N. Michel PRC 89 014330 (2014)
1) Basic idea is to rotate coordinates and momenta i.e. r  reiθ
Hamiltonian is transformed to H(θ) = U(θ)HoriginalU(θ)-1
H(θ)Ψ(θ) = ΕΨ(θ) complex eigenvalue problem
• The spectrum of H(θ) contains bound, resonances and continuum states.
2) Slater basis or Slater Type Orbitals (STOs):
Basically, exponential decaying functions
 Powerful method to obtain resonance parameters in Quantum Chemistry
 Involves L2 square integrable functions.
 Can (in general) be applied to available bound state methods techniques
(i.e. NCSM, Faddeev, CC etc)

Some results
2+ first excited state in 6He
The 2+ state is a many-body resonance (outgoing wave)
 GSM exhibits naturally this behavior
 but CS is decaying for large distances, even for a resonance state
This is OK. The solution Ψ(θ) is known to “die” off (L2 function)
Solution
 Perform a direct back-rotation. What is that?
Back-rotation
In the case of the density this becomes:
The CS density has the correct asymptotic
behavior (outgoing wave)
• Back rotation is very unstable numerically. An Ill posed inverse problem.
Long standing problem in the CS community (in Quantum Chemistry as well)
• The problem lies in the analytical continuation of
a square integrable function in the complex plane.
• We are using the theory of Fourier transformations and a regularization process (Tikhonov)
to minimize the ultraviolet numerical noise of the inversion process.
2+ densities in 6He (real and imaginary part)
Conclusions/Future plans
 Berggren basis appropriate for calculations of weakly bound/unbound nuclei.
• GSM calculations provided insight behind the charge differences of
Helium halo nuclei.
 Construct effective interaction in the p and sd shell.
Use realistic effective interactions for GSM calculations that stem
from NCSM with a core, or Coupled Cluster or IM-SRG…
 GSM is the Shell Model technique to:
i) study 3N forces effects and continuum coupling for
the detailed spectroscopy of heavy drip line nuclei.
ii) exact treatment of many body correlations and coupling to continuum
 Complementary method to describe resonant states: Complex Scaling in
a Slater basis
 L2 integrable basis formulation.
 Slater basis  correct asymptotic behavior
 Back rotation inverse problem solved.
 Apart from complex arithmetics the computational expense is as “tough”
or as “easy” as for the solution of the bound state.
 Explore complex scaling in more depth
Back up
Solution
Back rotation is very unstable numerically.
Unsolved problem in the CS community (in QC as well)
The problem lies in the analytical continuation of
a square integrable function in the complex plane.
We are using the theory of Fourier transformations and
Tikhonov regularization process to obtain the original (GSM) density
To apply theory of F.T to the density, it should be defined in (-∞,+∞)
 Now defined from (-∞,+∞)
 F.T

Value of (1) for x+iy

 Tikhonov regularization

where only the most important
degrees of “freedom” are considered

the pole space P
•
Construct all many-body states associated with
the space of the discrete continua C.

The process is reversed…
In each step (shell added) the Hamiltonian is diagonalized and Nopt states
are kept.
Iterative method to take into account all the degrees of freedom
in an effective manner.

“brute” force diagonalization of H.
