Phonon–particle coupling effects in odd–even double mass differences of semi-magic nuclei

Аннотация

A method is developed to consider the particle–phonon coupling (PC) effects in the calculation of the odd–even double mass differences (DMD) in semi-magic nuclei starting from the free NN potential. The PC correction δΣ^PC to the mass operator Σ is found in g_L²-approximation, g_L being the vertex of creating the L-phonon. The tadpole term of the operator δΣ^PC is taken into account. The method is based on a direct, without any use of the perturbation theory, solution of the Dyson equation with the mass operator Σ(ε) = Σ₀ + δΣ^PC(ε) for finding the single-particle energies and Z-factors. In its turn, they are used as an input for finding different PC corrections to the DMD values. Results for a chain of even semi-magic nuclei ^200−206Pb show that the inclusion of the PC corrections makes agreement with the experimental data significantly better.
