The high-momentum antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (HMAMD) is a new promising framework with significant analytical simplicity and efficiency inherited from its antisymmetrized molecular dynamics in describing the high momentum correlations in various nuclear states. In the aim of further improving the numerical efficiency for the description of nucleon-nucleon correlation, we introduce a new formulation by including a new Gaussian weighted basis of high momentum pairs in the HMAMD wave function, with which very rapid convergence is obtained in numerical calculation. It is surprising that the very high-momentum components in the new HMAMD basis are found to be almost equivalent to the contact representation of the nucleon-nucleon pairs with very small nucleon-nucleon distance. The explicit formulation for the contact term significantly improves the numerical efficiency of the HMAMD method, which shows the importance of the contact correlation in the formulation of light nuclei.

We propose a new variational method for treating short-range repulsion of bare nuclear force for nuclei in antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD). In AMD, the short-range correlation is described in terms of large imaginary centroids of Gaussian wave packets of nucleon pairs in opposite signs, causing high-momentum components in nucleon pair. We superpose these AMD basis states and name this method high-momentum AMD (HM-AMD), which is capable of describing strong tensor correlation (Prog. Theor. Exp. Phys. (2017) 111D01). In this paper, we extend HM-AMD by including up to two kinds of nucleon pairs in each AMD basis state utilizing the cluster expansion, which produces many-body correlations involving high-momentum components. We investigate how much HM-AMD describes the short-range correlation by showing the results for $^3$H using the Argonne V4$^prime$ central potential. It is found that HM-AMD reproduces the results of few-body calculations and also the tensor-optimized AMD. This means that HM-AMD is a powerful approach to describe the short-range correlation in nuclei. In HM-AMD, momentum directions of nucleon pairs isotropically contribute to the short-range correlation, which is different from the tensor correlation.
We treat the tensor correlation in antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) including large-relative-momentum components among nucleon pairs for finite nuclei. The tensor correlation is described by using large imaginary centroid vectors of Gaussian wave packets for nucleon pairs with opposite directions, which makes a large relative momentum. We superpose the AMD basis states, in which one nucleon pair has various relative momenta for all directions; this new method is called high-momentum AMD (HM-AMD). We show the results for $^4$He using the effective interaction having a strong tensor force. It is found that HM-AMD provides a large tensor matrix element comparable to the case of the tensor-optimized shell model (TOSM), in which the two-particle-two-hole (2p-2h) excitations are fully included to describe the tensor correlation. The results of two methods agree with each other at the level of the Hamiltonian components of $^4$He. This indicates that in HM-AMD the high-momentum components described by the imaginary centroid vectors of the nucleon pair provide the equivalent effect of the 2p-2h excitations for the tensor correlation.
The cluster states in $^{13}{rm C}$ are investigated by antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. By investigating the spectroscopic factors, the cluster configurations of the excited states are discussed. It is found that the $1/2^+_2$ state is dominantly composed of the $^{12}{rm C}(0^+_2)otimes s_{1/2}$ configuration and can be regarded as a Hoyle analogue state. On the other hand, the p-wave states ($3/2^-$ and $1/2^-$) do not have such structure, because of the coupling with other configurations. The isoscalar monopole and dipole transition strengths from the ground to the excited states are also studied. It is shown that the excited $1/2^-$ states have strong isoscalar monopole transition strengths consistent with the observation. On the other hand, the excited $1/2^+$ states unexpectedly have weak isoscalar dipole transitions except for the $1/2^+_1$ state. It is discussed that the suppression of the dipole transition is attributed to the property of the dipole operator.
Intermediate energy (p,p$$x) reaction is studied with antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) in the cases of $^{58}$Ni target with $E_p = 120$ MeV and $^{12}$C target with $E_p = $ 200 and 90 MeV. Angular distributions for various $E_{p}$ energies are shown to be reproduced well without any adjustable parameter, which shows the reliability and usefulness of AMD in describing light-ion reactions. Detailed analyses of the calculations are made in the case of $^{58}$Ni target and following results are obtained: Two-step contributions are found to be dominant in some large angle region and to be indispensable for the reproduction of data. Furthermore the reproduction of data in the large angle region $theta agt 120^circ$ for $E_{p}$ = 100 MeV is shown to be due to three-step contributions. Angular distributions for $E_{p} agt$ 40 MeV are found to be insensitive to the choice of different in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections $sigma_{NN}$ and the reason of this insensitivity is discussed in detail. On the other hand, the total reaction cross section and the cross section of evaporated protons are found to be sensitive to $sigma_{NN}$. In the course of the analyses of the calculations, comparison is made with the distorted wave approach.
We extend the high-momentum antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (HMAMD) by incorporating the short-range part of the unitary correlation operator method (UCOM) as the variational method of finite nuclei. In this HMAMD+UCOM calculation of light nuclei, the HMAMD is mainly in charge of the tensor correlation with up to the four-body correlation, while the short-range correlation is further improved by using the UCOM. The binding energies of the 3H and 4He nuclei are calculated with this HMAMD+UCOM using the AV8 bare nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction. The different roles of the short-range and tensor correlations from the HMAMD and UCOM are analyzed in the numerical results. Compared with the previous calculations based on the different variational methods, this newly extended HMAMD+UCOM method can almost provide the consistent results with the ab initio results.
