Magnetic dipole moments adjacent to doubly-magic nuclei in self-consistent mean-field theory with realistic spin-isospin and tensor forces

Abstract

Magnetic dipole ($M1$) moments in nuclei neighboring the doubly-magic core are investigated by the self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) approaches that allow for the breaking of the time-reversal symmetry. By the SCMF calculations with the M3Y-P6 interaction, which keeps realistic spin-isospin and tensor channels, the $M1$ moments are well reproduced, particularly those in the nuclei adjacent to $jj$-closed magicity. The results are in better agreement with the data than those with the Gogny-D1S interaction, slightly better than those of UNEDF1 supplemented by a spin-isospin channel adjusted to the $M1$ moments themselves, and comparable to the shell-model results with the chiral effective-field-theory ($χ$EFT) interaction. Analyses via quadrupole moments, occupation numbers and the lowest-order perturbation theory elucidate the cooperative effects of quadrupole deformation and spin correlation on the displacement from the Schmidt values, which has been known in terms of the quenching of the spin matrix elements. It is shown that a significant portion of the spin correlation is carried by the spin-isospin and tensor channels in the effective interaction. However, while agreement is remarkable at $^{131}$Sn$^m$, $^{133}$Sn and $^{209}$Pb, discrepancies remain at the $Z=\mathrm{odd}$ nuclei $^{133}$Sb, $^{207}$Ti and $^{209}$Bi, as in the $χ$EFT-based shell-model results.

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.
