The Microscopic Theory of Nuclear Effective Interactions and Operators

  • Chapter
Advances in Nuclear Physics

Abstract

The atomic nucleus, regarded as a system of interacting fermions, occupies a peculiarly difficult position amongst many-particle systems. It contains too many particles for exact treatment, yet not enough to permit the simplifying assumption of an infinite system, without surface effects. It has no special component playing a dominant, yet tractable, role analogous to that played by the nucleus itself in atomic structure. In short, the nucleus suffers from an overabundance of degrees of freedom. Any theoretical treatment must somehow limit the number of degrees of freedom considered, and this requirement makes imperative the introduction of nuclear models.
