Abstract

We study statistical properties of the 0+0^+ spectrum of 208^{208}Pb in the energy region Ex20E_x\leq20 MeV. We use the Skyrme interaction SLy4 as our model Hamiltonian to create a single-particle spectrum and to analyze excited states. The finite-rank separable approximation for the particle-hole interaction enables us to perform the calculations in large configuration spaces. We show that while the position of the monopole resonance centroid is determined by one phonon excitations of 0+0^+, the phonon-phonon coupling is crucial for the description of a strength distribution of the 0+0^+ spectrum. In fact, this coupling has an impact on the spectral rigidity Δ3(L)\Delta_3(L) which is shifted towards the random matrix limit of the Gaussian orthogonal ensembles.
