High-momentum components of nuclei are essential for understanding the underlying inter-nucleon correlations in nuclei. We perform the comprehensive analysis for the origin of the high-momentum components of $^4$He in the framework of Tensor-optimized High-momentum Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics (TO-HMAMD), which is a completely variational approach as an $ab$ $initio$ theory starting from the bare nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interaction. The analytical derivations are provided for the nucleon momentum distribution of the Antisymmetrized Momentum Dynamics (AMD) wave functions, with subtraction of center-of-mass motion. The nucleon momentum distribution for $^4$He is calculated by applying a new expansion technique to our $ab$ $initio$ wave function, and agrees with the values extracted from experimental data up to the high-momentum region. Fine-grained analysis is performed for the high-momentum components in $^4$He with respect to different nucleon correlations. Contributions from tensor, central with short-range, and many-body correlations are extracted from the nucleon momentum distributions. The manifestation of tensor correlation around 2 fm$^{-1}$ region is explicitly confirmed by comparing the momentum distributions predicted using different types of $NN$ interactions with and without the tensor force.

The delta-shell representation of the nuclear force allows a simplified treatment of nuclear correlations. We show how this applies to the Bethe-Goldstone equation as an integral equation in coordinate space with a few mesh points, which is solved by inversion of a 5-dimensional square matrix in the single channel cases and a $10times10$ matrix for the tensor-coupled channels. This allows us to readily obtain the high momentum distribution, for all partial waves, of a back-to-back correlated nucleon pair in nuclear matter. We find that the probability of finding a high-momentum correlated neutron-proton pair is about 18 times that of a proton-proton one, as a result of the strong tensor force, thus confirming in an independent way previous results and measurements.
The short-range and tensor correlations associated to realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions induce a population of high-momentum components in the many-body nuclear wave function. We study the impact of such high-momentum components on bulk observab les associated to isospin asymmetric matter. The kinetic part of the symmetry energy is strongly reduced by correlations when compared to the non-interacting case. The origin of this behavior is elucidated using realistic interactions with different short-range and tensor structures.
By analyzing recent microscopic many-body calculations of few-nucleon systems and complex nuclei performed by different groups in terms of realistic nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions, it is shown that NN short-range correlations (SRCs) have a univers al character, in that the correlation hole that they produce in nuclei appears to be almost A-independent and similar to the correlation hole in the deuteron. The correlation hole creates high-momentum components, missing in a mean-field (MF) description and exhibiting several scaling properties and a peculiar spin-isospin structure. In particular, the momentum distribution of a pair of nucleons in spin-isospin state $(ST)=(10)$, depending upon the pair relative ($k_{rel}$) and center-of-mass (c.m.) ($K_{c.m.}$) momenta, as well as upon the angle $Theta$ between them, exhibits a remarkable property: in the region $k_{rel}gtrsim 2,fm^{-1}$ and $K_{c.m.}lesssim 1,fm^{-1} $, the relative and c.m. motions are decoupled and the two-nucleon momentum distribution factorizes into the deuteron momentum distribution and an A-dependent momentum distribution describing the c.m. motion of the pair in the medium. The impact of these and other properties of one- and two-nucleon momentum distributions on various nuclear phenomena, on ab initio calculations in terms of low-momentum interactions, as well as on ongoing experimental investigations of SRCs, are briefly commented.
It is a current important subject to clarify properties of chiral three-nucleon forces (3NFs) not only in nuclear matter but also in scattering between finite-size nuclei. Particularly for the elastic scattering, this study has just started and the p roperties are not understood in a wide range of incident energies ($E_{rm in}$). We investigate basic properties of chiral 3NFs in nuclear matter with positive energies by using the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock method with chiral two-nucleon forces of N$^{3}$LO and 3NFs of NNLO, and analyze effects of chiral 3NFs on $^{4}$He elastic scattering from targets $^{208}$Pb, $^{58}$Ni and $^{40}$Ca over a wide range of $30 lesssim E_{rm in}/A_{rm P} lesssim 200$ MeV by using the $g$-matrix folding model, where $A_{rm P}$ is the mass number of projectile. In symmetric nuclear matter with positive energies, chiral 3NFs make the single-particle potential less attractive and more absorptive. The effects mainly come from the Fujita-Miyazawa 2$pi$-exchange 3NF and slightly become larger as $E_{rm in}$ increases. These effects persist in the optical potentials of $^{4}$He scattering. As for the differential cross sections of $^{4}$He scattering, chiral-3NF effects are large in $E_{rm in}/A_{rm P} gtrsim 60$ MeV and improve the agreement of the theoretical results with the measured ones. Particularly in $E_{rm in}/A_{rm P} gtrsim 100$ MeV, the folding model reproduces measured differential cross sections pretty well. Cutoff ($Lambda$) dependence is investigated for both nuclear matter and $^{4}$He scattering by considering two cases of $Lambda=450$ and $550$ MeV. The uncertainty coming from the dependence is smaller than chiral-3NF effects even at $E_{rm in}/A_{rm P}=175$ MeV.
