Low density instability in a nuclear Fermi liquid drop

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The instability of a Fermi-liquid drop with respect to bulk density distortions is considered. It is shown that the presence of the surface strongly reduces the growth rate of the bulk instability of the finite Fermi-liquid drop because of the anomalous dispersion term in the dispersion relation. The instability growth rate is reduced due to the Fermi surface distortions and the relaxation processes. The dependence of the bulk instability on the multipolarity of the particle density fluctuations is demonstrated for two nuclei 40Ca^{40}Ca and 208Pb^{208}Pb.
