Evolution of Nuclear Many-Body Forces with the Similarity Renormalization Group

Nuclear Theory 2009-09-02 v2

Abstract

The first practical method to evolve many-body nuclear forces to softened form using the Similarity Renormalization Group (SRG) in a harmonic oscillator basis is demonstrated. When applied to He4 calculations, the two- and three-body oscillator matrix elements yield rapid convergence of the ground-state energy with a small net contribution of the induced four-body force.
