Simple configurations in the capture state and the general picture of nuclear state complications

  • 1. Joint Inst. for Nuclear Research, Dubna (USSR)

Description

It is asserted that the effective nuclear forces and the methods of solving the many-body problem may serve as a basis for describing states of low, intermediate and high excitation energy. It is indicated that it is important to study nuclear structure complications with increasing excitation energy and fragmentation of single particle and many-particle states. The foundations of the model for describing fragmentation which is based on the account of the quadiparticle-phonon interaction are presented. The results of calculations of fragmentation for the (631)(spin down),(620)(spin up), (640)(spin up) and (600)(spin up) one-quasiparticle states in 239U are given. It is shown that the state strength is distributed over a wide energy interval, the distribution maximum is shifted down with respect to the single-particle energy. The degree of fragmentation is shown to depend strongly on the position of the single-particle level with respect to the Fermi level. A modified version of the model is given for treating highly excited states of the type of giant resonances and for studying their influence on the structure of states of intermediate excitation energy. The general assumptions of the approach based on the operator form of the wave function of highly excited states are presented, and the contribution of individual simple configurations to the neutron resonance wave functions is estimated. It is shown in which case the valence neutron can be employed. The compound-state structure is discussed. (Auth.)
