Complex valence-space effective operators for observables: the Gamow-Teller transition

Nuclear Theory 2023-09-11 v3

Abstract

Nuclei in the vicinity of driplines have been receiving a lot of attention in nuclear structure studies. In the nuclei, the continuum coupling is crucial in reproducing weakly-bound and unbound phenomena. To calculate observables of the nuclei as open quantum systems, we have developed valence-space effective operators in the complex-energy Berggren basis using many-body perturbation theory. We focus on the Gamow-Teller β\beta decay in the {\it sd} shell. The two- plus three-nucleon force from the chiral effective field theory (EFT), named EM1.8/2.0, has been used. The Gamow shell model which takes the continuum coupling into account can properly reproduce experimental observations of weakly-bound and unbound states. The β\beta-decay isospin asymmetry between the dripline nucleus 22Si^{22}\rm Si and its mirror partner 22O^{22}\rm O is reproduced, in which the s1/2s_{1/2} continuum plays a key role. Significant Thomas-Ehrman shift is seen through mirror energy differences between the mirror daughters 22Al^{22}\rm Al and 22F^{22}\rm F, in which the continuum effect plays an important role.
