The particle-number conserving method based on the cranked shell model is adopted to investigate the possible antimagnetic rotation bands in $^{100}$Pd. The experimental kinematic and dynamic moments of inertia, together with the $B(E2)$ values are reproduced quite well. The occupation probability of each neutron and proton orbital in the observed antimagnetic rotation band is analyzed and its configuration is confirmed. The contribution of each major shell to the total angular momentum alignment with rotational frequency in the lowest-lying positive and negative parity bands is analyzed. The level crossing mechanism of these bands is understood clearly. The possible antimagnetic rotation in the negative parity $alpha=0$ branch is predicted, which sensitively depends on the alignment of the neutron ($1g_{7/2}$, $2d_{5/2}$) pseudo-spin partners. The two-shears-like mechanism for this antimagnetic rotation is investigated by examining the closing of the proton hole angular momentum vector towards the neutron angular momentum vector.
The particle-number-conserving method based on the cranked shell model is used to investigate the antimagnetic rotation band in $^{104}$Pd. The experimental moments of inertia and reduced $B(E2)$ transition probabilities are reproduced well. The $J^{(2)}/B(E2)$ ratios are also discussed. The occupation probability of each orbital close to the Fermi surface and the contribution of each major shell to the total angular momentum alignment with rotational frequency are analyzed. The backbending mechanism of the ground state band in $^{104}$Pd is understood clearly and the configuration of the antimagnetic rotation after backbending is clarified. In addition, the crossing of a four quasiparticle states with this antimagnetic rotation band is also predicted. By examining the the closing of the four proton hole angular momenta towards the neutron angular momenta, the two-shears-like mechanism for this antimagnetic rotation is investigated and two stages of antimagnetic rotation in $^{104}$Pd are seen clearly.
The particle-number conserving (PNC) method in the framework of cranked shell model (CSM) is developed to deal with the reflection-asymmetric nuclear system by applying the $S_x$ symmetry. Based on an octupole-deformed Nilsson potential, the alternating-parity bands in element{236,238}{U} and element{238,240}{Pu} are investigated. The experimental kinematic moments of inertia (MoI) and the angular momentum alignments of all studied bands are reproduced well in the PNC-CSM calculations. The striking difference of rotational behaviors between U and Pu isotopes can be linked to the strength of octupole correlations. The upbendings of the alternating-parity bands inelement{236,238}{U} are due to the alignments of pairs of nucleons occupying $ u g_{9/2}$, $pi f_{7/2}$ orbitals and $ u j_{15/2}$, $pi i_{13/2}$ high-$j$ intruder orbitals. Particularly, the interference terms of nucleon occupying the octupole-correlation pairs of $ u^2 j_{15/2} g_{9/2}$ and of $pi^2 i_{13/2} f_{7/2}$ give a very important contribution to the suddenly gained alignments.
We calculate the isospin-mixing parameter for several Tz=-1, Tz=0 and Tz=1 nuclei from Mg to Sn in the particle-number conserving Higher Tamm-Dancoff approach taking into account the pairing correlations. In particular we investigate the role of the Coulomb interaction and the |Tz|=1 pairing correlations. To do so the HTDA approach is implemented with the SIII Skyrme effective nucleon-nucleon interaction in the mean-field channel and a delta interaction in the pairing channel. We conclude from this investigation that the pairing correlations bring a large contribution to isospin-symmetry breaking, whereas the Coulomb interaction turns out to play a less important role. Moreover we find that the isospin-mixing parameters for Tz=-1 and Tz=1 nuclei are comparable while they are about twice as large for Tz=0 nuclei (between 3% and 6%, including doubly magic nuclei).
In the present work the so-called Higher Tamm-Dancoff Apporximation method is presented for the generalized case of isovector and isoscalar residual interactions treated simultaneously. The role of different particle-hole excitations and of proton-neutron pairing correlations in the ground state of the self-conjugate 64Ge nucleus is discussed.
We present a number conserving particle-hole RPA theory for collective excitations in the transition from normal to superfluid nuclei. The method derives from an RPA theory developed long ago in quantum chemistry using antisymmetric geminal powers, or equivalently number projected HFB states, as reference states. We show within a minimal model of pairing plus monopole interactions that the number conserving particle-hole RPA excitations evolve smoothly across the superfluid phase transition close to the exact results, contrary to particle-hole RPA in the normal phase and quasiparticle RPA in the superfluid phase that require a change of basis at the broken symmetry point. The new formalism can be applied in a straightforward manner to study particle-hole excitations on top of a number projected HFB state.
