Discrete states embedded in the continuum for potential scattering

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

A method is developed to avoid redundance problems which can occur in the description of giant resonances in terms of a single-particle shell model basis. It amounts to describing the nonresonant part of the single-particle scattering in terms of continuous energy states derived in the framework of theR-matrix theory. A formalism which joins such continuous states to the resonant states in an exact description of the complete single-particle scattering process is also displayed.

Riassunto

Si presenta un metodo atto ad evitare i problemi di ridondanza che possono presentarsi nella descrizione delle risonanze giganti nell’ambito del modello a strati. Il metodo consiste nel descrivere la parte non risonante del processo di diffusione di una particella da parte di un potenziale, tramite stati di energia continua, derivati nell’ambito della teoria della matriceR. Si sviluppa inoltre un formalismo tramite il quale si ricava la funzione d’onda esatta della particella, congiungendo gli stati risonanti agli stati di energia continua.
