Angular-momentum projection in coupled-cluster theory: structure of $^{34}$Mg

Nuclear Theory 2022-08-03 v1

Abstract

Single-reference coupled-cluster theory is an accurate and affordable computational method for the nuclear many-body problem. For open-shell nuclei, the reference state typically breaks rotational invariance and angular momentum must be restored as a good quantum number. We perform angular-momentum projection after variation and employ the disentangled coupled-cluster formalism and a Hermitian approach. We compare our results with benchmarks for 8^8Be and 20^{20}Ne using a two-nucleon interaction from chiral effective field theory and for pfpf-shell nuclei within the traditional shell model. We compute the rotational band in the exotic nucleus 34^{34}Mg and find agreement with data.
