Glauber theory for nucleus-nucleus scattering at high incident energies is reformulated so as to become applicable also for the scattering at intermediate energies. We test validity of the eikonal and adiabatic approximations used in the formulation, and discuss the relation between the present theory and the conventional Glauber calculations with either the empirical nucleon-nucleon profile function or the modified one including the in-medium effect.

Calculation of elastic p8Li- and p9Li-scattering differential cross sections, performed at two energies 0.07 and 0.7 GeV/nucleon within Glauber multiple diffraction scattering, are presented and discussed. Three-body wave functions: alpha-t-n (for 8Li) and 7Li-n-n (for 9Li) with realistic potentials of intercluster interactions were used there. Sensitivity of elastic scattering to proton-nucleus interaction and nuclear structure has been studied. In particular, dependence of differential cross section on contribution of higher-order collisions, scattering at core and at periphery nucleons, on contribution of minor wave function components has been calculated. Comparison was made with available experimental data and with optical model calculations.
Microscopic optical potentials have been successful in describing nucleon-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus scattering. Some essential ingredients of the framework, however, have not been examined in detail. Applicability of the microscopic folding model is systematically investigated. Effect of an antisymmetrization factor (ASF) appearing in multiple scattering theory, theoretical uncertainty regarding the local density approximation (LDA), and the validity of a prescription for nonlocality, the Brieva-Rook (BR) localization, of the microscopic potential, are quantitatively estimated for nucleon-nucleus scattering; investigation on the ASF is carried out for also deuteron-nucleus scattering. A single folding model with the Melbourne g-matrix interaction and the SLy4 Skyrme-type Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubiv (SLy4-HFB) density is employed for evaluating a nucleon-nucleus microscopic optical potential. Deuteron-nucleus scattering is described by the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method incorporating the microscopic proton-nucleus and neutron-nucleus potentials. The ASF is found to affect proton total reaction cross sections for a 12C target below 200 MeV by about 10%. Effect of the ASF on total reaction cross sections is negligibly small if a target nucleus is heavy or scattering energy is above 200 MeV; elastic cross sections are hardly affected by the ASF for all the reaction systems considered. Below 65 MeV, still the BR localization works quite well. However, at energies below about 50 MeV, the LDA becomes less accurate for evaluating elastic cross sections at backward angles. This is the case also for the total reaction cross sections of p-12C below about 200 MeV. The microscopic model is applicable to nucleon-nucleus scattering above 25 MeV for target nuclei in a wide range of mass numbers. Deviation of calculated results from experimental data is less than about 10%.
We propose a method to incorporate the coupling between shape and pairing collective degrees of freedom in the framework of the interacting boson model (IBM), based on the nuclear density functional theory. To account for pairing vibrations, a boson-number non-conserving IBM Hamiltonian is introduced. The Hamiltonian is constructed by using solutions of self-consistent mean-field calculations based on a universal energy density functional and pairing force, with constraints on the axially-symmetric quadrupole and pairing intrinsic deformations. By mapping the resulting quadrupole-pairing potential energy surface onto the expectation value of the bosonic Hamiltonian in the boson condensate state, the strength parameters of the boson Hamiltonian are determined. An illustrative calculation is performed for $^{122}$Xe, and the method is further explored in a more systematic study of rare-earth $N=92$ isotones. The inclusion of the dynamical pairing degree of freedom significantly lowers the energies of bands based on excited $0^+$ states. The results are in quantitative agreement with spectroscopic data, and are consistent with those obtained using the collective Hamiltonian approach.
We discuss the current status of chiral effective field theory in the three-nucleon sector and present selected results for nucleon-deuteron scattering observables based on semilocal momentum-space-regularized chiral two-nucleon potentials together with consistently regularized three-nucleon forces up to third chiral order. Using a Bayesian model for estimating truncation errors, the obtained results are found to provide a good description of the experimental data. We confirm our earlier findings that a high-precision description of nucleon-deuteron scattering data below pion production threshold will require the theory to be pushed to fifth chiral order. This conclusion is substantiated by an exploratory study of selected short-range contributions to the three-nucleon force at that order, which, as expected, are found to have significant effects on polarization observables at intermediate and high energies. We also outline the challenges that will need to be addressed in order to push the chiral expansion of three-nucleon scattering observables to higher orders.
We implement the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equation in a screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) method for solving, self-consistently, the superconducting state for 3d crystals. This method combines the full complexity of the underlying electronic structure and Fermi surface geometry with a simple phenomenological parametrisation for the superconductivity. We apply this theoretical framework to the known s-wave superconductors Nb, Pb, and MgB$_2$. In these materials multiple distinct peaks at the gap in the density of states were observed, showing significant gap anisotropy which is in good agreement with experiment. Qualitatively, the results can be explained in terms of the k-dependent Fermi velocities on the Fermi surface sheets exploiting concepts from BCS theory.
