Effects of vibration and rigidity modes of motion on the spectral statistics of spherical nuclei

Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the effects of \b{eta}-vibration and \b{eta}-rigidity on the energy levels from the viewpoint of statistical fluctuations of nuclear systems. To this aim, a parameter-free collective solution of the Bohr Hamiltonian in the five-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential with a linear energy dependence and an asymptotic limit of the slope are used to determine all of the observed normal states in even-even nuclei with ~ 2.00 - 2.15 ratio in the A ~ 90 -140 mass region. Different sequences are prepared of the energy levels, both experimental values and theoretical predictions, which are categorized as their spin-parity, \b{eta} oscillator quanta, and seniority numbers and analyzed in the framework of random matrix theory to show their statistical situation in comparison with regular and correlated limits. Also, up to 2226 levels with the same 2+ spin-parity assignment are determined for different systems in which the stiffness parameter for them changed between a = 0 and a =1 limits and then analyzed in the same process. The results showed a transition between correlated behavior and regularity when the rigidity increased in considered systems. Also, there are apparent relations between the chaocity degrees of considered sequences and the considered criteria for classifications.

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.
