Collective states of even-even nuclei in gamma-rigid quadrupole Hamiltonian with Minimal Length under the sextic potential

Abstract

In the present paper, we study the collective states of even even nuclei in gamma rigid mode within the sextic potential and the Minimal Length (ML) formalism in Bohr Mottelson model. The eigenvalues problem for this latter is solved by means conjointly of Quasi-Exact Solvability (QES) and a Quantum Perturbation Method (QPM). Numerical calculations are performed for 35 nuclei:(98 108)Ru, (100 102)Mo, (116 130)Xe, (180 196)Pt, (172)Os, (146 150)Nd, (132 134)Ce, (154)Gd, (156)Dy and (150 152)Sm. Through this study, it appears that our elaborated model leads to an improved agreement of the theoretical results with the corresponding experimental data by reducing the rms with a rate going up to 63% for some nuclei. This comes out from the fact that we have combined the sextic potential, which is a very useful phenomenological potential, with the formalism of the ML which is based on the generalized uncertainty principle and which is in turn a quantum concept widely used in quantum physics. Besides, we investigate the effect of ML on energy ratios, transition rates, moments of inertia and a shape phase transition for the most numerous isotopic chains, namely Ru, Xe, Nd and Pt.

Application of the Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov Theory to WIMP-Nucleus Interactions in 40Ar

WIMP scattering from 40Ar is investigated using a self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approach. Nuclear form factors relevant to dark matter direct detection are calculated from the resulting one-body density matrix elements and compared with shell-model predictions. Good agreement is found for the spin-independent response, while significant differences are observed for the spin-orbit response due to variations in single-particle occupancies. The effects of particle-number projection are shown to be small for 40Ar. These results demonstrate the sensitivity of certain dark matter response channels to the underlying nuclear structure model and establish a framework for extending mean-field calculations to nuclei beyond the reach of large-scale shell-model studies.

Breakdown of the Plane-Wave Trojan Horse Analysis of the $^{12}\mathrm{C}+{}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ Fusion Reaction: Critical Role of Coulomb Distortions

Recently, a new Trojan Horse Method (THM) measurement of carbon-carbon fusion was reported by Li \textit{et al.} [Phys. Lett. B (2026) 140675]. The purpose of the present work is to demonstrate the breakdown of the plane-wave approximation used in the analysis of these data and the critical role of Coulomb distortions in the initial and final states. The reaction mechanism underlying the THM analysis of the $^{12}\mathrm{C}+{}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ fusion reaction using the $^{16}\mathrm{O}+{}^{12}\mathrm{C}\to α_s+α+{}^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$ reaction is investigated. Particular attention is paid to the spectator momentum distribution and to the dependence of the THM reaction amplitude on the relative carbon-carbon energy $E$. It is demonstrated that agreement with the measured spectator momentum distribution does not by itself validate the plane-wave approximation. Although the experimental momentum distribution can be reproduced, inclusion of Coulomb distortions in both the initial and final channels leads to an energy dependence of the THM amplitude that is completely different from the plane-wave result. Consequently, the energy dependence of the $^{12}\mathrm{C}+{}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ fusion cross section extracted from the THM data can be strongly distorted by the plane-wave treatment. It is concluded that the astrophysical factor extracted in the plane-wave analysis cannot be regarded as reliable and may lead to misleading conclusions concerning the low-energy $^{12}\mathrm{C}+{}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ fusion reaction.
