We study the tensor-optimized antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (TOAMD) as a successive variational method in many-body systems with strong interaction for nuclei. In TOAMD, the correlation functions for the tensor force and the short-range repulsion and their multiples are operated to the AMD state as the variational wave function. The total wave function is expressed as the sum of all the components and the variational space can be increased successively with the multiple correlation functions to achieve convergence. All the necessary matrix elements of many-body operators, consisting of the multiple correlation functions and the Hamiltonian, are expressed analytically using the Gaussian integral formula. In this paper we show the results of TOAMD with up to the double products of the correlation functions for the s-shell nuclei, 3H and 4He, using the nucleon-nucleon interaction AV8. It is found that the energies and Hamiltonian components of two nuclei converge rapidly with respect to the multiple of correlation functions. This result indicates the efficiency of TOAMD for the power series expansion in terms of the tensor and short-range correlation functions.

We recently proposed a new variational theory of tensor-optimized antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (TOAMD), which treats the strong interaction explicitly for finite nuclei [T. Myo et al., Prog. Theor. Exp. Phys. 2015, 073D02 (2015)]. In TOAMD, the correlation functions for the tensor force and the short-range repulsion and their multiple products are successively operated to the AMD state. The correlated Hamiltonian is expanded into many-body operators by using the cluster expansion and all the resulting operators are taken into account in the calculation without any truncation. We show detailed results for TOAMD with the nucleon-nucleon interaction AV8$^prime$ for $s$-shell nuclei. The binding energy and the Hamiltonian components are successively converged to exact values of the few-body calculations. We also apply TOAMD to the Malfliet-Tjon central potential having a strong short-range repulsion. TOAMD can treat the short-range correlation and provided accurate energies of $s$-shell nuclei, reproducing the results of few-body calculations. It turns out that the numerical accuracy of TOAMD with double products of the correlation functions is beyond the variational Monte Carlo method with Jastrows product-type correlation functions.
Tensor-optimized antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (TOAMD) is the basis of the successive variational method for nuclear many-body problem. We apply TOAMD to finite nuclei to be described by the central interaction with strong short-range repulsion, and compare the results with the unitary correlation operator method (UCOM). In TOAMD, the pair-type correlation functions and their multiple products are operated to the AMD wave function. We show the results of TOAMD using the Malfliet-Tjon central potential containing the strong short-range repulsion. Adding the double products of the correlation functions in TOAMD, the binding energies are converged quickly to the exact values of the few-body calculations for s-shell nuclei. This indicates the high efficiency of TOAMD for treating the short-range repulsion in nuclei. We also employ the s-wave configurations of nuclei with the central part of UCOM, which reduces the short-range relative amplitudes of nucleon pair in nuclei to avoid the short-range repulsion. In UCOM, we further perform the superposition of the s-wave configurations with various size parameters, which provides a satisfactory solution of energies close to the exact and TOAMD values.
We develop a new formalism to treat nuclear many-body systems using bare nucleon-nucleon interaction. It has become evident that the tensor interaction plays important role in nuclear many-body systems due to the role of the pion in strongly interacting system. We take the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) as a basic framework and add a tensor correlation operator acting on the AMD wave function using the concept of the tensor-optimized shell model (TOSM). We demonstrate a systematical and straightforward formulation utilizing the Gaussian integration and differentiation method and the antisymmetrization technique to calculate all the matrix elements of the many-body Hamiltonian. We can include the three-body interaction naturally and calculate the matrix elements systematically in the progressive order of the tensor correlation operator. We call the new formalism tensor-optimized antisymmetrized molecular dynamics.
We study $^5$He variationally as the first $p$-shell nucleus in the tensor-optimized antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (TOAMD) using the bare nucleon--nucleon interaction without any renormalization. In TOAMD, the central and tensor correlation operators promote the AMDs Gaussian wave function to a sophisticated many-body state including the short-range and tensor correlations with high-momentum nucleon pairs. We develop a successive approach by applying these operators successively with up to double correlation operators to get converging results. We obtain satisfactory results for $^5$He, not only for the ground state but also for the excited state, and discuss explicitly the correlated Hamiltonian components in each state. We also show the importance of the independent optimization of the correlation functions in the variation of the total energy beyond the condition assuming common correlation forms used in the Jastrow approach.
We developed a new variational method for tensor-optimized antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (TOAMD) for nuclei. In TOAMD, the correlation functions for the tensor force and the short-range repulsion are introduced and used in the power series form of the wave function, which is different from the Jastrow method. Here, nucleon pairs are correlated in multi-steps with different forms, while they are correlated only once including all pairs in the Jastrow correlation method. Each correlation function in every term is independently optimized in the variation of total energy in TOAMD. For $s$-shell nuclei using the nucleon-nucleon interaction, the energies in TOAMD are better than those in the variational Monte Carlo method with the Jastrow correlation function. This means that the power series expansion using the correlation functions in TOAMD describes the nuclei better than the Jastrow correlation method.
