University of Georgia, Georgia, USA Received 19 June 1972 (Revised 4 December 1972) Abstract: The t60(d, 3He) excitation spectrum has been calculated in the framework of the Gross-

Lipperheide model which explicitly takes into account the effect of residual interactions and the decay of the residual nucleus by particle emission. The reaction mechanism is described by the DWBA for a direct pick-up reaction. The theory is extended to include the higher-order effects of the residual interaction on the self-energy operator, in terms of which the spectral function is expressed. The real part of the self-energy operator is calculated up to the fourth order (2p-3h configurations) in the strength of the residual interaction. The calculation of the selfenergy operator up to the second order yields the leading term only for separation energy below 38 MeV. Higher-order effects have already become important for separation energies as low as 10 MeV. The Lemmer-Shakin potential is used for the residual interaction. The calculated spectrum exhibits a shell structure of groups of narrow peaks, which depends very much upon the choice of the absorption potential for the 3He optical parameters.

1. Introduction Nucleon hole states in nuclei have been studied through pick-up reactions such as (p, d), (n, d), (p, 2p) and (d, 3He) reactions. Because of the higher beam resolution possible, the last reaction is the most suitable for studying the highly excited proton hole states in nuclei. One can interpret peaks in the excitation spectrum as corresponding to a single-particle level structure in the nucleus. The identification of the angular momentum of such low excited states has been possible through a study of the reaction angular distribution using the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) to describe the reaction mechanism. For higher excitations nucleonnucleon correlations in the target and final nuclei can destroy this simple picture. Inclusion of such correlations between nucleons in the nucleus via a residual twonucleon interaction results in a simple hole state being coupled to np-(n + 1)h states. As a result the expected excitation spectrum is more difficult to unravel experimentally or to calculate theoretically. We calculated an excitation spectrum for the (d, 3He) reaction. Particle decay of the residual nucleus into the continuum is taken into account. We apply the spectral function theory of Gross and Lipperheide t) which is formulated only up to the 513

second order of the residual interaction (lp-2h states in the final nucleus). It was applied by Wille, Gross and Lipperheide for the 12C(p, 2p) spectrum 2,3), and by Wille and Lipperheide for 160(p, 2p) spectrum 3). In this theory the one-nucleon pick-up cross section is expressed in terms of the spectral function of the target nucleus. We extend this theory in order to include 2p-3h excitations and describe the (d, 3He) reaction mechanism as a direct reaction using the DWBA. The spectroscopic factor, which is usually set to 2j+ 1 for the pick-up of nucleons out of a level with low excitation energy of angular momentum j, is calculated here through the use of the spectral function. The spectral function has a discrete and continuous part. The continuous part occurs for excitation energies where the residual nucleus can undergo subsequent particle decay. The residue of the discrete contribution to the spectral function is the "usual spectroscopic factor" associated with the bound states of the final nucleus 3). We consider the target to be a x60 nucleus described by the shell-model as having full ls~, lp~ and lp~ shells, and all other levels empty. We take as a residual interaction the Lemmer-Shakin potential *), which may be appropriate for this nucleus. With no residual interactions present, the (d, 3He) reaction on 160 would produce ls~, lp~, l p , hole states in the final 15N nucleus. The (d, 3He) spectral function would consist of three peaks corresponding to proton pick-up from one of the three filled shells of the target nucleus. The position of these peaks would permit a determination of the proton single-particle binding energies in the target nucleus. With a residual interaction included, other configurations are coupled to single-hole states. The effect of the residual interaction appears through the self-energy operator of the nucleus by which the spectral function is expressed. The self-energy operator can be calculated by the technique of the partial summation of many-body diagrams 5). We include all possible second- and third-order diagrams and a typical fourth order one in the calculation of the self-energy operator. This means that all possible lp-2h and several types of 2p-3h configurations that can couple to the single-hole states are included. In order to see the effect of the residual interaction, let us consider only the lp-2h configurations coupled to single-hole states for simplicity, For weak enough residual interaction the energies of the lp-2h configurations will not change appreciably when coupled to single-hole and other lp-2h configurations. We then expect to observe aH at final-state energies corresponding to an energy transfer to the final nucleus equal to the excitation energy of one of the single-hole and lp-2h configurations. Now instead of one peak resulting from the pick-up of a 1s~ proton, twenty peaks can be expected in the spectral function. This is so because we include the nineteen different lp-2h configurations that can couple to ls~ single-hole configurations. The spectrum resulting from lp~_ or lp½ proton pick-up will be complicated by a similar amount due to lp-2h configurations coupled to the corresponding single-hole configuration. The calculated spectral function has peaks at energies near the lp-2h

configuration energies, but is a continuous function of energy, where the residual nucleus can decay via a particle emission into the continuum. If we allow the higher-order excitations further, the excitation spectrum is expected to become so complicated that the sharp peaks corresponding to lp-2h excitations may be smoothed out. We have calculated the real part of the self-energy operator up to the fourth order in the residual interaction. The perturbation expansion of the self-energy operator shows only fair convergence for separation energies below 20 MeV. The imaginary part and the cross section for the 160(d, 3He ) reaction was calculated with a self-energy operator obtained up to the second order only. The ground-state correlations are neglected. In sect. 2 we present the theoretical details of the calculation of the excitation spectrum, and in sect. 3 we discuss the results.

2. Theoretical details of the (d, 3He) excitation spectra We follow the theory of Gross, Lipperheide and Wille (GLW) t) developed for (p, 2p) and (d, 3He) reactions. The momentum-energy spectral function of G L W is assumed expanded in shell-model states as

S(q, q'; W) = E qgv(q)~Pv'(q')Svv'(W),

(1)

where v denotes the quantum numbers of a shell-model hole state, and ~Pv(q) is the momentum-space representation of the bound-state wave function of such a hole state. Eq. (1) covers the case where total angular momentum and parity do not totally distinguish a bound state, such as for nuclei where the 2s state is occupied at least partially, in addition to the more tightly bound Is state. We assume total angular momentum and parity do completely specify all bound states for an t 6 0 target, in which case eq. (1) becomes

S(q, q'; W) = ~ ~pv(q)q~v(q')Sv(W).

(2)

v

Such a description ignores any nucleons occupying the 2s~ shell-model state in the target nucleus 160. Such an event could result from the correlations in the target nucleus but are ignored here. We take the ls½, lp~ and lp~. levels as completely full, and all other target levels as completely empty. Here I4/ is the energy removed from the nucleus, so S = - 141 is the energy given to the final nucleus. We shall call S the "separation energy' for later discussions. The quantity IV is related to various c.m. kinetic energies (E) or positive binding energies (B) by

W = E,--Ed+Bd-B~,

(3)

where the d or z subscript refers to the initial deuteron or final 3He projectiles. Eq. (2) assumes that the momentum distribution for a given state is independent of the energy transfer. The DWBA cross section for detecting 3He particles with an

where fv(W) is the usual D W B A amplitude for a deuteron pick-up of a proton from the state v, with the final aHe leaving with an energy related to W via eq. (3). The spectral function S~(W) is the probability that when the proton, in the state v, is picked up, an energy transfer of S to the final nucleus will result. The spectral function S,(IV) is related to the single-particle Green function t) by

contribution (with respect to the strength of the residual interaction) corresponds to the Hartree-Fock (bubble and open oyster) diagram, which is reduced to the HartreeFock single-particle energy in the Dyson equation, as long as the single-particle potential is chosen self-consistently 5). This condition is assumed to be fulfilled in the following calculation 3): The second- and higher-order contributions to the self-energy operator can be evaluated according to the method proposed by Villars 6). The results are shown in the appendix (fig. 1). Now the self-energy operator is the sum of contributions of each order

a,(z) = cr~2)(z) + a~3)(z) + . . . .

(9)

It should be noted that the sum over particle states in the expression for the selfenergy operator in the appendix symbolizes automatically integrations over the continuum states also. For example the expression for a(~2)(W) is

The particle states k in the first sum are over the bound states that lie above the Fermi level. In the second sum the particle states k are summed over all continuum states. The angular momentum selection rule restricts the angular momenta of the continuum states to { or less.

The wave function u(r) is the regular solution (at the origin), and C(r) is a solution that satisfies outgoing boundary conditions, of eq. (14). We note that 9kt+)(r, r', E~m) is real if the energy E~m is negative, and that E~m is not in general the eigenvalue for the state k. If one substitutes eqs. (A.6) and (13)into the last term of eq. (10), and interchanges the order of integration over energy with coordinates, one encounters, with a finite-range residual interaction, a four-dimensional radial integral. The alternative to this four-dimensional integral is to do the principal value integral in eqs. (10). Instead of this, we assume a delta-function residual interaction 4) whereupon we obtain a two-dimensional radial integral of the form IiV,k = J J t" d, • ,., dr ,uvQ .)ut(r)um(r)ut(t ., )um(t ., )uv(t J )gk(+) (r, r ,, Etm).

Here A is the mass number of the target nucleus. The single-particle energies used are listed in table 1. These energies and Woods-Saxon potential parameters were taken from Buck and Hill 8). The same set of parameters has also been used for 160 in ref. 3). The ls~ binding energy was obtained through use of the same set of WoodsSaxon potential parameters that fit the 2s~ binding energy. A Woods-Saxon radius and diffuseness of r~.o. = r o = 1.25 and a .... = a = 0.53 fm were used throughout. The proton bound states included a Coulomb potential Vc(r ) due to a uniformly charged sphere of radius equal to the Woods-Saxon radius. The potential depth Vo was adjusted for the d~ state to produce a resonance at the resonance energy (see table 1). The potential parameters for the If states were taken to be the average of those states with lower angular momenta. Wille and Lipperheide 3) calculated the Hartree-Fock single-particle energies from the two-body interaction (12) and

The DWBA cross section was calculated in a nearly standard manner using the code D W U C K 9). The only difference was that the binding energy of the picked-up proton, an input parameter for DWUCK, was not related to the reaction Q-value as the final projectile energy is specified independently. The DWBA parameters for d -160 scattering are taken from ref. xo), where Ea = 52 MeV. Those for 3He-~ 5N scattering are not so well-known over a wide range of 3He energy.

Fig. 2 (3) shows the real and imaginary part of the self-energy operator t~ 2) for a proton pick-up from a ls½ (lp~) state v e r s u s the separation energy S. The peaks in I m a~,2) at energy transfer around 29, 35 and 41 MeV (44, 49, 50 and 55 MeV) for s(p) wave pick-up, are related to the lp-2h configurations in which the particle is in the continuum state ld~. The structure of the self-energy operator for proton pick-up from the lp~ state (not shown) is similar to that of the lp~ mass operator, except for the absence of three poles in the real part of o-c2),,. The missing poles are absent due to the angular momentum selection rule which prevents three configurations, labeled x in table 3, from contributing to the mass operator of the lP½ state. These configurations do contribute to the lp~ self-energy operator however. The various poles of Re ~(2) o~ occur near energies which can also be correlated to the lp-2h configuration energies.

The half-width at half maximum of the spectral function will then be Im a(o2) A W~ = [d Re a(2)/dW]wo "

(33)

This says that the half-width is independent of the residual interaction strength chosen. This is much less than other estimates 12) and much less than what is expected by crudely setting the half-width equal to I m a ~z). As the energies of lp-2h configurations exhibit a shell structure and Re a C2) can be correlated to these energies, we can see in the spectral function, figs. 2 and 3, this same shell structure. Namely, at energies where you have many lp-2h configurations, we calculate many corresponding peaks in the spectral function. Fig. 4 shows the excitation spectrum for the 160(d, 3He ) reaction with E a = 52 MeV which is calculated by using DWBA and the second-order self-energies o_(2) r . Where the discrete contributions to the spectral function occur depends somewhat on the residual interaction strength, but the position of the continuum peak contribution is nearly independent of the residual interaction strength. Although the optical parameters for the final channel depend upon the energy of the 3He particle, we have fixed those values derived from the E~ = 39.8 MeV analysis it), because there are very few data available. In order to see the effect of the optical-potential parameters we have also calculated the excitation functions only by increasing the absolute value of the volume absorption potential W o to - 4 0 MeV. The result is shown in fig. 5. The other parameters remain exactly the same as in fig. 4. As a matter of fact, the excitation is reduced on account of the rather strong volume absorption. The experimental data which can give information about highly excited lp-2h states are not so numerous. Figs. 4 and 5 contain the experimental data taken from ref. 13). The experimental data (E d = 52 MeV) are only available up to S ~ 24 MeV at present. We could not get peaks corresponding to (b), (d) and (e) in figs. 4 and 5. This is because we have neglected the ground-state correlation (the second term in eq. (A.8)). This term becomes effective for small values of separation energy S. We have also calculated the excitation spectrum corresponding to Ea = 80 MeV. It is shown in fig. 6. There is only one experiment at E d = 82 MeV [ref. 14)]. But only three peaks which correspond to (a), (b) and (c) of fig. 4 are reported. Therefore we do not try to compare our results at Ed = 80 MeV with experiment. Fig. 6 is different from fig. 4 in the appearance of highly excited peaks at S > 50 MeV. We have used the same optical parameters in fig. 6 as in fig. 4, because such sets of parameters are not so well known apart from those reported in ref. 14).

The main effect of using distorted waves instead of plane waves for the scattering wave functions is to reduce the excitation spectra for large values of S. Contributions to the excitation spectra resulting from proton pick-up from the ls~ shell is inhibited in comparison to pick-up from the lp~ or l p , shells. This is true for all scattering angles between 10° and 90 ° and is not restricted to just the angle 13° for which the spectrum is calculated (figs. 4-6). The most time-consuming part of this work is to calculate the single-particle Green function #Ok+)(,", r', Ezra), and subsequently F (see eqs. (15), (16) and (24)). This calculation must be repeated for each value of If', and hence each Ezra. TABLE 5

A. FAESSLER et al.

paper the formulation of the self-energy operator has been extended up to thirdand even up to one fourth-order graph (see fig. 1). Tables 5-7 contain the real part of the mass operator for separation energies S = 10-50 MeV for ls~, lp~ and l p , proton pick-up, respectively. An inspection of these results suggests that the perturbation series is only converging for the separation energies below 20 MeV. The second-order contribution is already corrected by at least 40 % by the third-order contribution at 10 MeV separation energy. These results therefore demand a reformulation of the method for calculation of the spectral function. An approach not based on perturbation theory is needed. The authors appreciate discussions with Dr. P. Turek about the experimental data.

Appendix CALCULATION

OF THE

SELF-ENERGY

The Hamiltonian of the total system is divided into two parts H = no+V,

(A.1)

where H o is the Hartree-Fock single-particle Hamiltonian n o = E g, :a+ al :,

and V is the residual two-body interaction V = ½ ~ (121V134) ".al+a2+a4a3 "

(A.3)

1234.

The two-body matrix elements are not antisymmetrized in eq. (A.3). Here the notation : : is the normal product in the Hartree-Fock representation. The operator a-~(a,) creates (annihilates) a particle in state 1 with respect to the pure vacuum (not in the sense of Hartree-Fock representation). Let us define operators J ~ and Jk by J~ = [V, a [ ] = ½ ~ : a+ a~(12lVAIka)a,:, (A.4) 124-

Jk = --[I,, ak] = ½ ~ : af(k21VA134)a4a3:,

where the antisymmetrized matrix element is defined by (1211,~,134) = (121 V134)- (121 V143).

where 10) is the Hartree-Fock ground state and q is the infinitesimal positive value. The first term ofeq. (A.7) is represented by fig. la. By using eqs. (A.2-5), eq. (A.7) is expressed in an algebraic form

Here 1 (1) means that the sum only goes over particle (hole) states in the HartreeFock representation. The sum over particle states also symbolises automatically the integral over the continuum single-particle energy with the corresponding quantum numbers from the threshold to infinity. The second term in eq. (A.8) shows the 2p-lh intermediate excitations, which are due to the ground-state correlations in the target nucleus. We shall neglect the second term, as is discussed in ref. 3). Then eq. (A.8) becomes
