Self-consistent description of EL transitions between one-phonon states in magic nuclei

Resumo

Transition probabilities between low-lying one-phonon states of magic nuclei are for the first time computed self-consistently within an approach to anharmonic effects based on the quantum theory of many-body systems. In the adopted approach, three-quasiparticle correlations in the ground state are taken into account, and the nuclear mean field is interrelated with the effective nucleon–nucleon interaction. These quantities are derived using the energy density functional method with known parameters of the Fayans functional. The E1 and E2 transitions in the ¹³²Sn and ²⁰⁸Pb nuclei are considered as an example, and a reasonably good agreement with the data on these nuclei is reached. Three-quasiparticle correlations in the ground state are shown to make a significant contribution to the probabilities of the discussed transitions.
