The Bonn Meson Exchange Model for the Nucleon Nucleon Interaction

Nuclear forces can be systematically derived using effective chiral Lagrangians consistent with the symmetries of QCD. I review the status of the calculations for two- and three-nucleon forces and their applications in few-nucleon systems. I also address issues like the quark mass dependence of the nuclear forces and resonance saturation for four-nucleon operators.

Modern theory of nuclear forces

Nowadays it has become customary in nuclear physics to denote by “tradition” the approach that considers nucleons and mesons as the relevant degrees of freedom. It is the purpose of this chapter to review this “traditional” approach in the area of nuclear forces and their applications to nuclear structure.

The Meson Theory of Nuclear Forces and Nuclear Structure

Neutron star observations: Prognosis for equation of state constraints

We study a cubic lattice gas model for nuclear matter where each lattice site can be either occupied, by one proton or one neutron, or unoccupied. A nearest-neighbor interaction of the form - ∑ Jijτziτzj is assumed. Our model is an isospin-1 Ising model, with τz= (1, 0, –1) representing respectively (proton, vacancy, neutron). A kinetic-energy term has been included in our model. Under the Bragg-Williams mean-field approximation our model exhibits the existence of a dense phase (liquid-like) and a rare phase (gas-like). The nuclear-matter p−v isotherms given by our model are discussed.

Effect of nuclear core polarization on neutrinoless double beta-decay of ca-48

Equivalence of model space techniques and the renormalization group for a separable model problem

Core-renormalization of the pf-shell effective interaction for an RPA-description of the core

We have studied p-shell nuclei using a two-frequency shell-model approach with an effective interaction derived from the Bonn-A nucleon-nucleon potential by means of a G-matrix folded-diagram method. Shell-model wavefunctions of two different oscillator constants, ωin and ωout, are employed, one for the inner 0s core orbit and the other for the outer valence orbits, respectively. The binding energies, energy spectra and electromagnetic properties are calculated and compared with experiment. A quite satisfactory agreement with the experimental data is obtained, which is in some cases even better than that produced by large-basis shell-model calculations.
