Fock-Bargmann space and classic trajectories

Abstract

In recent years, a new approach to the theory of nuclear reactions leading to a break-down of the interacting subsytems into various channels has been developed. This approach was named the Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamic (AMD), and its main idea lies in the description of the nucleons by wave packets in which the antisymmetrization effects (but not other quantum effects) are accounted for. In the present review, the basic principles of AMD are illustrated on the examples of simplest nuclear systems, and the results are compared with those provided by an exact quantum-mechanical description in the Fock-Bargmann space. The applicability region of AMD is discussed, in particular, in the cases of systems with discrete spectrum, and a relation between the classical AMD trajectories and the quantum distributions is established. At the same time, a new interpretation of Brink orbitals and Slater determinants built on them as eigenfunctions of the coordinate operator defined in the Fock-Bargmann space is proposed. It is shown that these functions form the cluster geometry of nuclear systems.

Intertwined quantum phase transitions in the even-even $^{90-100}$Sr isotopes

The even-even $^{90-100}$Sr isotopes are identified as a region of intertwined quantum phase transitions (IQPTs). In this scenario, a quantum phase transition involving the crossing of normal and intruder configurations is accompanied by a shape evolution within the intruder configuration. Using the interacting boson model with configuration mixing (IBM-CM), its is shown that the strontium chain exhibits the IQPT scenario, where the intruder configuration evolves from a near-spherical structure in $^{90\text{--}96}$Sr to a deformed one in $^{98,100}$Sr, while the normal and intruder configurations cross between $^{96}$Sr and $^{98}$Sr. As a result, the ground state changes abruptly from a weakly collective normal configuration to a deformed intruder configuration. Evidence for this scenario is provided by a detailed comparison with experimental excitation energies, isotope shifts, and monopole $E0$ transition strengths, together with the configuration and $n_d$ decompositions of the calculated wave functions. The results place the strontium isotopes alongside the neighboring zirconium chain as a realization of IQPTs in the intricate $A\approx100$ region.

Strangeness Production in Heavy-Ion Collisions: Color Ropes or Hydrodynamic Evolution?

We investigate strangeness production and transverse dynamics in heavy-ion collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}\approx 2.5-20~\mathrm{GeV}$ using the transport approach SMASH (Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly-interacting Hadrons), its extension with rope hadronization, and the SMASH+vHLLE hybrid approach. Results from the Pythia-based heavy-ion model Angantyr, with and without rope hadronization, are included for comparison. We study midrapidity particle yields and average transverse masses as functions of the number of wounded nucleons, as well as their energy dependence. For the $K^+/π^+$ ratio, SMASH+vHLLE overpredicts strangeness production at low energies but describes the higher-energy behavior reasonably well. SMASH+Ropes reproduces the ratio up to $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}\sim 10~\mathrm{GeV}$ but does not capture the turnover at higher energies. In contrast, the transverse-mass observables favor the hybrid approach, while the non-thermal models considered here do not generate sufficient collective transverse expansion. These results show that strangeness enhancement alone does not uniquely distinguish microscopic string interactions from a locally equilibrated medium. Simultaneously constraining strangeness production and transverse dynamics is therefore essential for disentangling thermal and non-thermal mechanisms in heavy-ion collisions.

Constraining Energy Density Functionals via Bayesian Analysis of Nuclear Densities

In nuclear many-body physics, energy density functional (EDF) theory is one of the most powerful approaches for describing finite nuclei and nuclear matter. However, its predictive capability depends on calibrating model parameters to experimental and observational data. In this work, we investigate an alternative approach: Constraining the parameters with the continuous density profiles of finite nuclei obtained from ab initio calculations. We apply Bayesian analysis to infer the parameters of Skyrme EDF from the density profiles and binding energies of 16O, 40Ca, and 48Ca. We show that the data effectively constrain the parameters associated with the properties of uniform nuclear matter, whereas those governing non-uniform nuclear matter remain partially constrained and require additional input. Furthermore, using the inferred parameter distributions, we successfully predict the density profiles and binding energy of 208Pb, which is excluded from the training data. This demonstrates the predictive capability of the framework. In conclusion, these results establish Bayesian analysis of density profiles as a promising route for incorporating accurate ab initio results of light nuclei into EDF development and strengthening the connection between both approaches.
